Vehicle inspection app launched by Northgate

Northgate has launched a vehicle inspection app to facilitate and streamline the end-to-end management of fleet vehicles.

Powered by CheckedSafe, the app allows Northgate customers to monitor all daily vehicle checks at the click of a button, providing added insights into where the checks were carried out, how long they took, and what, if any, defects were identified.

The system uses existing kit, namely smartphones or tablets, and requires no additional capital investment, says Northgate.  

It has several bespoke features specifically tailored for Northgate customers, including a free 45-day trial and customisable templates among others.

Fleets can also go totally paperless using the full document storage suite. Using the app costs only £1 per week per vehicle.

Neil McCrossan, sales and marketing director at Northgate Vehicle Hire, said: “The introduction of the Northgate Vehicle inspection app reinforces our commitment to growing Northgate’s product offerings to meet our customers’ needs.

“By enabling fleets to carry out daily checks on their vehicles digitally, businesses now have access to a product that makes the vehicle hire management process even more insightful and efficient.”

After a series of rigorous tests and customer feedback, CheckedSafe, a leading provider of compliance services for hire vehicles, was selected as Northgate’s preferred supplier.
