Pre-departure Check App runs the pre-departure check workflow across every site. Teams complete the required steps on a phone or tablet, capture evidence as they go, and turn every exception into a tracked action with an owner and a due date. Managers see pre-departure check status, open items, and progress across every site in real time.
Pre-departure Check App runs the pre-departure check workflow in one place instead of across spreadsheets, email, and paper. Teams plan and assign the work, complete the required steps on a phone or tablet, capture evidence as they go, and turn any exception into a tracked action with an owner and a due date. Managers see pre-departure check status, open items, and completion across every site, so the process stays consistent and the record is always ready to show.
Because every pre-departure check inspection syncs to one dashboard, managers see completion, open tyre damage or low tread, lights or indicators not working, a brake or air-pressure fault, cracked glass or a defective wiper, and risk by site without waiting for a report. Each submitted record becomes a branded PDF report automatically, so the paperwork that used to take an afternoon is done as the team member walks away.
What Does a Pre-departure Check App Cover?
A well-run pre-departure check workflow covers the whole cycle: setting up the work, assigning owners and due dates, capturing evidence, recording exceptions, and tracking follow-up actions to closure. Run pre-departure checks with structured brake-test, door, and safety-equipment questions plus reports. Keeping one live record per site keeps status clear and makes the work easy to prove.
How to Use Pre-departure Check App
A consistent routine keeps pre-departure check running the same way across every site. Follow these steps to work through it:
Open the assigned pre-departure check template on a phone or tablet and confirm the site, date, and team member.
Work through each section, marking items pass or fail and recording the findings for each check.
Attach a photo or voice note for any finding, especially tyre damage or low tread, lights or indicators not working, a brake or air-pressure fault, cracked glass or a defective wiper.
For every failed pre-departure check item, raise a corrective action with an owner, severity, and due date.
Record completion and sign off. The pre-departure check report generates automatically and syncs to the multi-site dashboard.
What Does a Pre Departure Check Programme Cover?
A pre departure check programme governs tyres, tread, and pressures, lights, indicators, and reflectors, brakes, air pressure, and parking brake, mirrors, glass, and wipers, fluids, leaks, and load security, and documents, first aid, and safety equipment across the portfolio. Drivers and transport supervisors standardise the pre departure check templates and schedule the cycles. They track pre departure check completion per site. So pre departure check work holds to one standard as the estate grows.

What Pre-departure Check Teams Fix When the Process Moves Off Spreadsheets and Email
Pre-departure Check breaks down when it lives across spreadsheets, email, and chat. These are the problems Pre-departure Check App is built to remove, and what the team gets back when it does.
Assigned contractor signs off the pre-departure check fix, and nobody checks it
A defect on the pre-departure check is handed to assigned contractor. A week later the pre-departure check defect is marked closed. Whether the pre-departure check work was done well, badly, or at all, nobody has verified.
Problem
Assigned contractor marks work closed with no verification
Poor pre-departure check fixes are only found at the next inspection
No record of which pre-departure check partners actually perform
Solution
Closure photo required before any pre-departure check action is signed off
Assigned contractor performance scored on closure speed and re-opens
Re-opened pre-departure check actions linked back to the original finding
The pre-departure check report is still being assembled by hand
Someone spends Friday afternoon collecting pre-departure check photos, notes, and inspection records into a report. By the time leadership reads it, the pre-departure check data is days old and the next problem is already live.
Problem
Pre-departure Check reports compiled by hand from photos and notes
Leadership reads pre-departure check data that is already days old
Every pre-departure check report looks slightly different
Solution
Branded pre-departure check reports generate automatically per site and period
Scheduled pre-departure check reports reach managers before the morning meeting
One consistent pre-departure check report format across the estate
Pre-departure Check tracked across spreadsheets, email, and chat, with no single record
Pre-departure Check lives in a spreadsheet, a few inboxes, and a chat thread. Status is out of date the moment it is written, nobody is sure who owns what, and proving the work was completed means piecing the trail back together by hand.
Problem
Pre-departure Check status scattered across spreadsheets, email, and chat
Unclear ownership and missed follow-ups
No quick way to prove the work was completed
Solution
One live pre-departure check record with owners and due dates
Evidence captured on mobile against each item
Live status and overdue items across every site
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Pre-departure Check App check on a pre departure check programme?
Pre-departure Check App governs the pre departure check programme across every site, covering tyres, tread, and pressures, lights, indicators, and reflectors, brakes, air pressure, and parking brake, mirrors, glass, and wipers, and fluids, leaks, and load security. Drivers and transport supervisors standardise the templates and schedule the cycles, then track completion and overdue actions per location on one dashboard. That holds the work to a single standard as the transport, logistics & warehousing estate grows, so a new site inherits the same checks the moment it is added. Every location runs the current version rather than a printout someone copied months ago.
Which pre departure check issues matter most, and what happens if they are missed?
The programme targets the pre departure check failures that matter most: tyre damage or low tread, lights or indicators not working, a brake or air-pressure fault, and cracked glass or a defective wiper. Left unchecked, a fault such as tyre damage or low tread can mean downtime, a safety incident, or a failed audit, so every finding becomes an owned task with a deadline. It stays open until photo proof of the repair is reviewed, and repeat problems are flagged so drivers and transport supervisors fix the cause rather than the symptom. Prioritising by severity means the most serious issues are handled first, not whichever was reported loudest.
Which standards does Pre-departure Check App support for pre departure check work?
Pre-departure Check App keeps pre departure checks aligned to DVSA daily walk-around check, driver vehicle inspection report, and roadworthiness standards. The photos and readings each standard expects are required fields, so an incomplete check cannot be closed and a gap is caught before an assessor finds it. When a review is due, drivers and transport supervisors pull the records for the site in scope with one search instead of rebuilding them from folders. Retention and history stay searchable, so proof remains defensible at any point, not only on the day of an audit.
Can teams run pre departure checks offline and across multiple sites?
Yes. Pre-departure Check App is offline-first: teams complete pre departure checks on iOS or Android with no signal, capturing photos and the evidence each check requires in the field. Each record syncs automatically when the connection returns, with its timestamp intact, and the same template runs on every site. So drivers and transport supervisors get a live view of what is complete, overdue, or failing per location, and a weak connection in a remote or low-signal area never costs a round or loses a photo.
What evidence proves a pre departure check programme was completed?
Every completed pre departure check programme carries defect photo, tyre and tread photo, and walk-around checklist record, a GPS location, a timestamp, and a named sign-off. Because the evidence is captured during the round rather than typed up afterwards, drivers and transport supervisors can show exactly what was checked, when, and by whom. When an assessor or client asks, the record exports in seconds as a branded PDF or a searchable history, so proof never depends on someone remembering where a photo was saved or which folder holds last quarter's records.
