Vehicle-specific checks
Different vehicle and equipment types can carry the checks that are relevant to the asset rather than one generic form.
HGV daily check app
Vehicle checks that do not disappear into a filing cabinet.
Replace paper HGV walkaround sheets with digital vehicle walkaround checks and HGV defect reporting connected directly to the fleet records the transport office already works from.

STATUSSubmitted
From check to action
A reported defect should become an operational record.
A driver's daily HGV walkaround check should feed the operation, not disappear into paperwork. Outrig turns digital vehicle checks and HGV defect reporting into a dedicated defect lifecycle that remains visible until the business has dealt with it.
Driver declaration
Keep the submitted check associated with the driver, vehicle and point in time it relates to.
Defect creation
Issues identified through the check can feed into the defect-management workflow instead of remaining as a note.
Evidence and addenda
Keep supporting evidence and later additions tied back to the original vehicle-check record.
Office visibility
The transport office can see which issues require acknowledgement, assessment or repair attention.
Audit history
Changes to defect status remain part of the event history instead of simply replacing the previous state.
Questions drivers and operators ask
Trying to replace paper HGV walkaround and defect sheets?
Digital checks become more useful when the result reaches the office immediately and a reported issue stays visible until it has been dealt with.
Is there an app for HGV daily walkaround checks?
Outrig gives drivers a digital vehicle-check workflow tied to the vehicle and driver record instead of a standalone paper sheet.
How do I replace paper HGV defect sheets?
Drivers can submit checks digitally and reported issues can move into a structured defect workflow for office follow-up.
Can a driver defect be sent straight to the transport office?
Yes. The objective is for reported issues to become operational records the office can acknowledge, assess and follow through.
How do I keep a history of HGV defects and repairs?
Defect status changes, supporting evidence and later actions remain connected to the original reported issue.
Can different vehicles have different walkaround checks?
Vehicle-specific check requirements can reflect the asset and equipment rather than forcing every driver through one generic form.
How can I see which driver checks still need attention?
The office can see submitted issues that require acknowledgement, assessment, repair or sign-off rather than waiting for paperwork to return.
Defect lifecycle
Keep the issue visible until it is genuinely closed.
The current Outrig defect model is designed around an explicit lifecycle rather than a single open/closed switch.

Better information back to the office
See the defect, its status and the next action in one place.
The objective is to make the driver's check operationally useful. Instead of scanning paper later, the office gets structured information that can be acknowledged, assessed and followed through.
