Digitise Your Checks to Stay Safer

Manual processes create blind spots that put your team at risk. Gain oversight into status across vehicles and plant with structured capture that replaces paper entirely.

Lost or incomplete paper records

Paper forms get lost, damaged, or left unsigned. Without structured digital capture, you can't prove due diligence when incidents occur.

Missed defects and delayed repairs

Handwritten notes don't trigger workflows. Defects sit in logbooks, vehicles stay on the road, and minor issues become expensive breakdowns or safety failures.

No oversight of regulatory gaps

Manual systems make it impossible to spot trends. You discover issues during reviews, not before them.

Powerful Pre Start App for Fleet Efficiency

Ctrack turns manual pre start forms into structured workflows. Operators complete prestarts on the tool with save time features and automated escalation to mechanics. Add your company logo and brand the experience for drivers.

Phone and device ready

Drivers complete a prestart check on phone or tablet before every shift.

Photo and video capture

Attach images to defect reports for visual evidence.

Issue workflows

Route critical problems to workshop or take vehicles off-road automatically.

Full trail records

Time-stamped, location-tagged entries prove NHVR standards.

Streamline Pre Start Checks

Structured digital workflows replace paper and manual follow-up. Share pre start records across your database, automate corrective actions when a defect is found, and organise inspections for vehicles. The tool works without a connection and syncs data automatically when back in range. Upload records with GPS stamp and integrate with your existing CMMS from the dashboard.

Driver completes the form

Before each shift, drivers open Ctrack on their device and work through a customisable list tailored to the vehicle type.

Capture issues with photos

Drivers flag problems, attach photos or video, and rate severity. Critical items trigger immediate alerts.

Route to workshop team

Issues flow into job queues with full history. Close the loop with timestamps and sign-offs.

Better Outcomes with Real-Time Visibility

Reduce risk, improve fault detection, and create structured records with hazard and brake data. Maximise uptime and reduce downtime with insight into asset condition. Our developer team has built integration with maintenance module options including cab customisation. Export to Excel and PDF for streamlined operations.

Regulatory benefits

Why digital matters

Paper forms don't scale. Digital workflows create structured records that prove due diligence, improve safety culture, and reduce risk.

  • Time-stamped records for Chain of Responsibility obligations
  • Immediate escalation prevents vehicles operating with critical issues
  • Photo evidence supports incident investigations and insurance claims
  • Centralised reporting identifies patterns and high-risk vehicles

It replaces paper logbooks with digital workflows on a mobile app. Users follow customisable templates, capture photos of faults, and route issues to the workshop. It works without connectivity and syncs records when a signal returns.
Yes. Ctrack meets NHVR requirements by creating time-stamped, location-tagged records with driver sign-offs. Data is stored securely and supports Chain of Responsibility obligations.
Issues are categorised by severity. Critical problems can automatically take vehicles off-road and trigger alerts to workshop managers. Minor items are routed to maintenance queues. All entries include photos, timestamps, and location data.
Yes. Create different templates for trucks, light vehicles, trailers, or heavy plant. Configure which items are mandatory, optional, or require photo evidence based on your needs.
Yes. Ctrack stores data locally without a connection. Users can complete forms, take photos, and record timestamps in the field. Everything syncs automatically when back in range, so no data is lost. This is essential for remote mine sites or construction locations.
Data is stored in Australian data centres for the duration required by your framework (typically 5 years for NHVR). Export history for incident investigations or insurance claims at any time.
