Check every vehicle before the route begins.
Make vehicle checks part of every route before drivers start. Create custom inspection forms, record faults, manage Off Road vehicles, and keep a clear history of every inspection — all inside InstaDispatch.
The hidden cost of skipping pre-route checks
Every route starts with the vehicle. Unchecked faults turn into delays, safety risks, and failed deliveries — yet most teams still rely on paper or verbal updates.
Vehicles used without proper checks
Drivers head out for the route before anyone confirms the vehicle is safe and ready for the day.
Manual records are hard to track
Paper forms and chat-message updates get lost. Reviewing past inspections takes hours, not minutes.
Missed faults affect deliveries
An unnoticed brake or tyre issue mid-route means delays, replacement vehicles, and unhappy customers.
No proof of inspection
When something goes wrong, there is no clear record of who checked the vehicle, when, or what they found.
A complete pre-route inspection workflow
Custom forms, risk-based questions, critical-fault control, and full inspection history — all inside InstaDispatch.
Custom Vehicle Inspection Forms
Every delivery business has different vehicle checks. Admins can build inspection forms tailored to your internal process — tyre condition, lights, brakes, fuel level, cleanliness, or any other check that matters.
- Inspection forms shaped around your business process
- Question types for pass/fail, photos, numbers, dropdowns
- A consistent inspection process across drivers, branches, and vehicles
- Control what drivers must verify before using a vehicle
Separate minor issues from serious faults
Not every vehicle issue has the same level of impact. Assign Low, Medium, or High risk to each inspection question — so a cleanliness issue and a brake fault never get treated the same way.
- Fault classification by risk level
- Better visibility of serious vehicle issues
- Clearer decisions on failed inspection items
- Easier tracking of recurring vehicle problems
Stop the route when a serious fault is reported
InstaDispatch can stop drivers from starting a route when a critical issue is found during inspection. Even if a vehicle hasn't been manually marked as Off Road, the system steps in — keeping unsafe vehicles out of active delivery work.
- Route-start control for critical vehicle faults
- Protection against serious inspection failures
- Reduced risk of unsafe vehicles being used
- Stronger control before active delivery operations begin
Route start blocked
Not recommended to take this vehicle out for delivery. Do you still want to continue?
Mark vehicles Off Road — and keep a log of why
Take a vehicle out of service the moment something serious is found. Record the reason, when it happened, and when the vehicle is safe again. Drivers can't use Off Road vehicles for any route until the issue is resolved.
- Mark vehicles Off Road or On Road in one click
- Reason capture and Off Road incident history
- Prevention of Off Road vehicles being used by drivers
- Better visibility of vehicle availability across the fleet
Everything you need to control vehicle readiness
Six core capabilities working together — so vehicle checks become a reliable, repeatable part of every shift.
Custom inspection forms
Build the exact form your team uses — tyre, brakes, lights, fuel, cleanliness or any custom check.
Mandatory pre-route checks
Drivers can't start their route until the inspection is complete. No more reminders, no more chasing.
Risk-level setup
Assign Low / Medium / High to each question so your team knows what's urgent and what can wait.
Critical issue control
Block route starts automatically when a serious fault is reported, even before admin review.
Detailed inspection history
Every inspection — who, what vehicle, which items passed or failed, and where on the map.
Better vehicle readiness
Dispatch teams start the day with a clear picture of which vehicles are safe to deploy.
More control before drivers start. Fewer surprises after.
A reliable way to manage vehicle condition before routes begin — no more manual checks or missed faults.
Reduce unsafe vehicle risk
Stop unfit vehicles from going out before they cause delays or safety issues.
Operational control
Confirm every vehicle is ready before drivers leave the depot.
Clear inspection record
Every check is stored — useful for audits, training, and dispute reviews.
Spot repeating issues
Identify recurring faults across vehicles and act before they escalate.
Driver accountability
A clear, repeatable process strengthens responsibility across the team.
