The new developments were revealed at Logistics UK’s Transport Manager conference at Hayes Motor Museum in Yeovil – the first in Logistics UK’s annual series of industry-leading events targeting everyone responsible for vehicle and fleet compliance across the economy.
Speaking at the conference, Logistics UK’s Digital Development Director Jemma James commented, “Compliance is no longer a tick-box exercise, and forward-thinking companies are now leveraging the data they collect to drive efficiencies and deliver operational gains. The latest development of the Vision compliance platform, including the launch of our new driver app, makes collecting and processing data straightforward, bringing clarity to an operator’s business and allowing them to improve working practices.”
According to Logistics UK, the new Vision Check module includes fully customisable digital checklists and templates for all assets, vehicles and incidents allowing drivers to complete daily walkaround checks with ease. The checklists can be tailored to meet operators’ specific needs and have been designed to replace inefficient and insecure paper trails. The checklists are uploaded automatically to the Vision platform providing operators with full access to defect reporting and ability to identify trends and remedy maintenance issues.
Ms James continued, “We always develop Vision in line with users’ feedback and the new driver app is our most powerful tool yet. The app has been overhauled to ensure that drivers can now see their remaining driving hours, weekly rest status and working time periods, all in one place. It also integrates with Vision Check meaning drivers can use the app to complete asset, vehicle and incident checks.
“Operators will also be able to embed compliance culture within their fleet of drivers by using the app to deliver best practice micro-training videos. These short videos deliver bite size learning and are a very effective way to educate drivers and ensure compliance is always a top priority. When used together, the app and Vision platform provide the ultimate compliance and training resource meaning operators can concentrate on their core business without the dread of not knowing their compliance status.”
