Fleetio and ClearQuote inspection apps

Customers of leading fleet management software Fleetio can now track and manage damages efficiently and seamlessly with ClearQuote

Small to medium fleets running their operations using Fleetio — also use Fleetio Go mobile app for their drivers to inspect vehicles regularly and capture issues that need attention. This includes capturing images of fleet vehicles to document vehicle condition. With ClearQuote integration, images capturing during this inspection are automatically analysed to identify damages (if any). Fleet managers get an alert when any new damage is identified. This covers all types of passenger and light commercial vehicles (vans, pickup trucks).

Problem with unreported damages

  • Commercial fleet vehicles tend to accumulate minor damage during the lifetime of usage which goes unreported. Cost of these damages often run into ‘000s of dollars in repair bills (especially with longer vehicle replacement cycles we are seeing in the current times)
  • Manually tracking these damages is very inefficient, requires someone to go through each inspection and image to identify which damages are new and which ones are pre-existing.
  • Some times drivers may not capture all images necessary to avoid being charged for damage
  • Lastly to cater to demand cycles, fleet managers tend to augment capacity by hiring vehicles on a short term basis. Fleet managers also want to capture condition of a vehicle at the time of hire-in and hire-out to ensure they are not charged for pre-existing damages by vehicle rental/hire cos
