Whats New:

FleetCheck Professional Introduces OCR Document Reader for Faster, More Efficient Data Entry

We’re excited to announce the addition of OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology to the FleetCheck platform, for Professional users. OCR technology allows our system to automatically ‘read’ and extract key information from documents n PDF format, making data entry quicker and more efficient than ever before.   

Currently, OCR is set up for invoices, enabling you to upload an invoice for maintenance work, for example. The FleetCheck platform will then capture all the relevant details and store against a vehicle or asset. But we’re not stopping there- plans are underway to expand OCR capabilities to handle fuel receipts, PMI (Preventative Maintenance Inspection) documents, and PCN (Penalty Charge Notice) documents, due in early 2025. This added functionality will give you even greater flexibility in managing documentation, helping to streamline processes and reduce manual data entry, letting you focus on managing your fleet.   

 


 

Discover How to Access the Van Driver Toolkit and Track Driver Compliance  

In partnership with Highways England’s Commercial Vehicle Incident Prevention Team, we’ve made their award-winning driver information cards and online modules instantly accessible through the FleetCheck Driver App.   

These resources help van drivers and fleet operators follow essential safety guidelines, reduce costs, improve operating conditions, and ensure vehicles are safe and legal—all while supporting driver wellbeing.  

To see which drivers have viewed and understood each section, simply select the section you’re interested in. You’ll be able to view ‘Read Receipts’ to confirm they’ve engaged with and understood the content, adding a valuable layer to your compliance tracking.


 

New Technician App – Translogik Device Integration

FleetCheck is pleased to announce the successful integration of Translogik’s industry -leading tyre inspection tools with the FleetCheck Technician App. This integration allows users to connect Translogik TLGX series devices via Bluetooth, enabling fast, accurate and seamless tyre data collection.

What does this mean for FleetCheck Users?

  • Improved Efficiency: Tyre inspections are quicker and easier, with data instantly captured and uploaded into the FleetCheck Technician App
  • Increase Accuracy: Translogik’s TLGX tools deliver precise measurements for tread depth, TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System) sensor integration, and RFID (Radi-frequency Identification) scanning, ensuring that critical tyre data is reliably recorded
  • Simplified Process: The integration eliminates the need to manual data entry, reducing errors and saving time for technicians and fleet managers
  • Cost Saving: Digital data capture reduces the administrative burden, optimises tyre usage, and minimises operations costs by ensuring timely maintenance and replacements.

About Translogik

These advanced devices enable precise measurement of tread depth, tyre pressure monitoring, and RFID scanning capabilities. Designed to meet the demands of small and large-scale operations, the tools ensure that safety-critical tyre data is captured quickly and accurately for informed decision-making.

How It Works

As part of this endeavour, we’re pleased to announce a new structure within our Client Services team. Moving forward, each client account will now have a dedicated, named contact within the team.

Managing an Ageing, High Mileage Fleet: Don’t Miss FleetCheck’s Key Presentation at CLOCS & DfBB

We’re excited to announce that FleetCheck will be attending the upcoming joint conference hosted by CLOCS (Construction Logistics and Community Safety) and Driving for Better Business (DfBB), focusing on the future of road risk management from both safety and commercial perspectives. Join us as industry leaders gather to discuss critical issues impacting fleet operators and the steps they can take to protect their teams, their businesses, and the wider public.

Our very own Barrie Wilson, Commercial Vehicles Consultant, will be presenting at 12:30 pm on the timely topic of Practical Guidance on Managing an Ageing, High-Mileage Fleet. With the ZEV (Zero Emission Vehicle) Mandate pushing to phase out petrol and diesel vehicles, manufacturers are now indicating they may restrict the supply of internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles to meet targets. This restriction is likely to lead to a van shortage in the short to medium term, forcing operators to run their existing fleets longer. Barrie will cover the operational challenges and potential safety implications this poses for businesses managing an ageing fleet, while offering best practices for keeping vehicles roadworthy and compliant.

Ensuring Compliance and Safety with FORS Standards

The CLOCS Standard, which focuses on reducing road risk for the construction sector, requires fleets to meet the FORS (Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme) Silver standard. This standard is crucial for improving work-related road safety and ensuring every driver returns home safely at the end of each day. FleetCheck’s dedicated FORS software helps fleet operators achieve and maintain all levels of FORS accreditation, streamlining compliance and safety protocols. Whether you’re looking to optimise vehicle longevity, drive cost efficiencies, or ensure complete regulatory compliance, our tools are designed to support fleets every step of the way.

How FleetCheck Can Help

At FleetCheck, we are committed to supporting fleet operators with the tools they need to drive vehicle and driver compliance. Our platform centralises all your fleet data, offering robust reporting tools that enable data-driven decisions and real-time insights for immediate actions. With over 30,000 users logging in daily and 25,000 vehicle checksheets completed each day, FleetCheck is trusted to help optimise vehicle performance and support safety and compliance across fleets. From managing an ageing fleet to ensuring optimal vehicle longevity, we help you streamline your operations and make data-driven decisions that keep your fleet running smoothly.

This event promises invaluable insights for fleet operators, from managing risks with an ageing fleet to creating safer roads and improving the image of the construction industry. We look forward to connecting with you at the conference, sharing ideas, and exploring how FleetCheck can support your road safety goals.
