Northgate rolls out bespoke vehicle inspection app for rental fleet

Van rental business Northgate Vehicle Hire has gone live with a vehicle inspection app, powered by CheckedSafe, to streamline management of its fleet.

Using the app, Northgate’s customers have access to all daily vehicle checks at the click of a button, with additional information such as 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.

CheckedSafe included several bespoke features for Northgate and its customers, including customisable templates and a free 45-day trial.

The solution also includes a document storage capability, enabling users to go paper free. The app costs £1 per week per vehicle.

Neil McCrossan, Northgate’s sales and marketing director at Northgate Vehicle Hire, says: “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.”
