How digital daily checks work

A frictionless system that drivers actually use — because it takes less effort than paper.

QR Code System — No Driver Login

Each vehicle gets a unique QR code. Drivers scan it with their phone, complete the check, and submit — no account, no app download, no password required.

31-Point DVSA-Aligned Checklist

Our walkaround check covers every item recommended by DVSA for commercial vehicles: lights, tyres, brakes, mirrors, fluid levels, bodywork, and more.

Mobile-First Design

The check interface is designed for phones and tablets. Large touch targets, clear instructions, and offline capability mean drivers can complete checks anywhere.

Defect Reporting with Photos

When a driver spots a defect, they can capture a photo directly within the check. Photos are attached to the defect record and visible to fleet managers immediately.

Frequently asked questions

Do drivers need an account?

No. Kedra uses a QR code system that allows drivers to complete daily checks without creating an account, downloading an app, or remembering a password. They simply scan the QR code on the vehicle, enter their name, and complete the check on their phone browser.

What items are on the checklist?

The Kedra walkaround check includes 31 inspection points aligned with DVSA guidelines for commercial vehicles. This covers lights, tyres, brakes, mirrors, fluid levels, bodywork, load restraints, exhaust, and dashboard warnings. You can also customise the checklist to add items specific to your fleet.

How are defects reported?

If a driver identifies a defect during their walkaround check, they mark the item as failed and can add a description and photo. The defect is immediately visible on the fleet manager dashboard with the photo attached, allowing rapid triage and action.

Can I see check history and compliance rates?

Yes. Kedra stores the full history of every daily check for every vehicle. Your dashboard shows check completion rates, defect trends, and which vehicles or drivers are falling behind on checks.

Is the check DVSA compliant?

The Kedra daily check is aligned with DVSA guidelines for daily walkaround inspections. It covers all the items that DVSA recommends for commercial vehicle operators and provides a digital audit trail that demonstrates your duty of care.
