Equipment Safety Checks

Push pre-use checklists to crews, capture fuel/blade/guards/defects with photos, route faults to the workshop, and keep an auditable maintenance log—without spreadsheets.

How it works

1) Prompted checks

Crew receive a morning prompt or must complete a check at first use. No app installs—link by SMS/chat.

2) Validation & evidence

Failed items require a note/photo. Hour-meter increments trigger upcoming service reminders.

3) Defect workflow

Defect creates a workshop ticket, emails the supervisor, and marks asset “restricted” if unsafe.

Everything is filed to **Drive/SharePoint** under client/site or asset folders with audit logs.

Workshop workflow & maintenance schedule

Tickets & SLAs

Auto-assign to workshop inbox/board with SLA timers. Urgent defects page the on-call tech.

Service intervals

Schedule by hours, mileage, or date. Book jobs and notify crew when equipment returns.

Compliance evidence

Signed checks, defect history, parts used, and service certificates in one place—shareable if required.

Plays nicely with your stack

Google Drive / SharePoint Slack / Teams Airtable / DB Fleetio / Samsara / Geotab Email & SMS

We can also push job-ready status to your scheduling tool.

FAQs

Do crews need a new app?

No. We use simple mobile forms or chat links—faster adoption and fewer excuses.

Can we customise per machine type?

Yes. Different checklists for chippers vs mowers vs vans, all in one dashboard.

Will this satisfy audits?

Checks, defects, fixes, and services are timestamped with users & evidence—fully auditable.
