Fleet maintenance and inspections

Every vehicle inspected, serviced and back on the road.

Drivers inspect on their phone before the first drop. A failed brake light becomes a work order, not a note on a clipboard. Services fall due by distance, engine hours or date, and you see the whole yard on one board.

  • 14-day trial, no card
  • From $5 per vehicle a month
  • Drivers and technicians free

How it works

From the morning check to a clean service record.

Five steps every fleet already does, minus the clipboards, the whiteboard and the chasing.

  1. Inspect

    Drivers run a checklist on their phone in about two minutes, with photos of anything wrong.

  2. Flag

    A failed critical item takes the vehicle off the road and tells the shop straight away.

  3. Schedule

    Services fall due by distance, engine hours or date, whichever comes first.

  4. Repair

    Technicians work a queue of work orders with parts, labour and vendor invoices.

  5. Prove

    Every inspection and repair is on the vehicle's record for audits and resale.

The product

Built for the person with the keys, the person with the spanner and the person with the budget.

Inspections drivers actually finish

Big targets, one tap per item and a photo only when something fails. Critical items take the vehicle off the road on the spot.

  • Templates per vehicle type, with your own items
  • Odometer and engine hours captured with every check
  • Works on any phone; drivers are free

Services that fall due on their own

Set a rule once: every 10,000 miles, 250 engine hours or 12 months, whichever comes first. Fendrel tells you what is due before it is late.

  • Distance, engine hours and date in one rule
  • A due-soon warning you set per service
  • A forward view to plan around your busy weeks

Work orders with the evidence attached

A failed item opens a work order with the driver's photo and reading. Technicians add parts and labour; the record stays with the vehicle.

  • Parts, labour and outside vendor invoices
  • Waiting-on-parts and back-in-service states
  • Every repair dated and signed on the vehicle record

Customer story

Brindle Courier stopped losing routes to vans that failed before the first drop.

“The first week, three vans came off the board at 6:40 in the morning. We fixed two before the routes left. That never happened on paper.”

Dana Whitlock, Fleet manager, Brindle Courier
