Q: Is Checkedsafe just another App company?

<pre><code> The free trial is for 30 days, this enables you to fully evaluate the CheckedSafe App and compliance solution throughout your fleet. </code></pre> No not at all, we don’t limit the number of users, vehicles or checks you can whilst on the trial. We do not limit the extent of the trial in any way. We take the view that if you are intending to buy some software then you should be able to test all aspects of it before making a decision to buy. For that reason we allow full use of the system even for trial purposes. Not at all, our directors are from the transport industry and legal profession, who developed CheckedSafe with their experience of the issues surrounding the industry relating to daily walk round checks and compliance issues. They wanted a simple but effective solution to eradicate the issue of either non-compliance or partial compliance with the legislation. The CheckedSafe App was developed from both an experienced operators point of view with detailed knowledge of the problems and a legal perspective as opposed to a speculative add on afterthought to an existing software platform as so many of our competitors seem to do. Above all we wanted to make sure that the App and system was simple to use. We believe from the feedback from our thousands of customers we have achieved that aim.

Q: How much data will a check use?

CheckedSafe is very lightweight and by way of example: A Nil Defect Report: This check would normally be completed with only 1 image taken (Registration Plate) and is typically around 200kb A Defect Report: Similar to above but with 2 more images of a particular defect is typically around 350kb Unlike when you take a picture on your smart phone which can often be around 3mb, we compress the images that are sent to our server which enables the check and images to be sent with the minimum use of data.

Question 1

Why are you less expensive than other solutions?

Accepted Answer

Believe it or not, this quite a common question.

Back in 2014 when our Digital Defect Reporting App was born, we looked at the different pricing models below:

Goldilocks Pricing: Good-Better-Best Packages at different prices.
Pay Per Task: Each task you undertake incur’s different charges.
Freemium to Premium: Basic free version with premium functionality being chargeable.

We decided to keep it simple, and decided that we would offer an inclusive compliance solution for only £1 per week per vehicle.*

This compares very favourably with a paper-based system which our research revealed costs between £1.50 – £2.00 per week per vehicle.

Question 2

Can CheckedSafe be integrated into our other systems?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we have a resting API which is available to you, please contact us for more information.

Accepted Answer

CheckedSafe is very lightweight and by way of example:

A Nil Defect Report:

This check would normally be completed with only 1 image taken (Registration Plate) and is typically around 200kb

A Defect Report:

Similar to above but with 2 more images of a particular defect is typically around 350kb

Unlike when you take a picture on your smart phone which can often be around 3mb, we compress the images that are sent to our server which enables the check and images to be sent with the minimum use of data.

Question 5

Will bespoke checks be compliant?

Accepted Answer

We offer all our clients the option to tailor the checks (at no extra cost) to their business requirements and there are 2 options:

Defect Reporting

As you are probably aware there is a minimum requirement for daily walk round checks and as such we are quite strict about what the daily check has to contain especially given our position relative to the DVSA. However, if there are other questions that you require that are bespoke to you that are over and above the minimum required then we can easily add these for you to any checklist.

Non Compliance Checks/ General Checklists

Many of our clients will throughout the day undertake other checks on the vehicle or its contents, this could be an “End of Day” check, “Cleaning Check” or “Equipment” check and as these don’t fall into the compliance remit, we can add and remove almost anything.

In reality we can create a checklist for virtually anything you wish

Question 6

How safe is my data?

Accepted Answer

We use Amazon S3 servers, all transfer of data between our client interfaces (mobile app and CMS) and our cloud-based systems are encrypted with Transport Layer Security over HTTPS. Our database system is also duplicated over several geographical areas to maximise uptime.
