The problem

Fleet pre-starts are required for safety and compliance, but when they're on paper or in a separate app, evidence isn't tied to the vehicle. Audits are slow, and you can't easily block a vehicle that's failed a pre-start or is overdue for service. Drivers need a simple way to complete checks; ops need visibility and an audit trail.

How MapTrack addresses it

MapTrack gives you pre-start inspections attached to each vehicle. Drivers complete checks on mobile (including offline); results and evidence sit on the vehicle record. Failed items can trigger work orders so the vehicle isn't available until it's cleared. You get one place for fleet compliance evidence, timestamps for audits and visibility for ops. MapTrack supports mixed fleet - vehicles and equipment, so you can run the same compliance workflow across assets.

How it works

  • 1

    Pre-start forms on mobile

    Drivers complete pre-start inspections on phone or tablet. Forms can be built to match your checklist; offline support for low-connectivity areas.

  • 2

    Evidence on the vehicle

    Results, photos and timestamps attach to each vehicle. One record for compliance and audits.

  • 3

    Work orders from failures

    Failed pre-start items can automatically create or link to work orders so vehicles aren't used until fixed.

  • 4

    Visibility and audit trail

    Ops see completion status and history. Export or show evidence when auditors or regulators ask.

Frequently asked questions

Are fleet pre-starts stored on the vehicle record?
Yes. In MapTrack, pre-starts are completed on mobile and attached to each vehicle (or asset). Evidence, photos and timestamps sit on the asset record. You have one place for fleet compliance and audits. Failed items can trigger work orders so vehicles aren't used until cleared.
Can drivers complete pre-starts on their phone?
Yes. MapTrack is mobile-first. Drivers can complete pre-start inspections on phone or tablet, including offline. Data syncs when back online. Forms can be tailored to your fleet and compliance requirements.
Does MapTrack replace our fleet management system?
MapTrack is built for mobile assets, including fleet with tracking, compliance and maintenance in one platform. If you need vehicle-specific features (e.g. fuel cards, IFTA), you may use MapTrack for pre-starts and compliance alongside a fleet tool, or use MapTrack as the single system for fleet and equipment.
