Vehicle Inspection Checklists, Now Live on BONNET Fleet

We’ve officially launched Inspection Checklists inside BONNET, built to help fleets stay safe, compliant, and in control without the paperwork. This new feature is available on the Fleet plan and gives businesses a simple way to set up digital vehicle inspections for drivers to complete at the right time, every time.

Whether it’s daily pre start checks, weekly reviews, monthly safety inspections, or ad hoc reports, fleets can now manage the entire process in one place.

Watch a demo of our Inspection Checklist Software Below:

Built for Fleets, Designed for Any Vehicle

Inspection Checklists are made for teams running passenger vehicles, trucks, vans, utes, EVs an even Rental fleets. They allow managers to assign checks at specific times, like daily or weekly, or leave them open so drivers can complete them whenever needed.

Drivers can fill out inspections from their phone in minutes. No paper forms, no chasing people, no lost records.

This helps businesses:

  • Keep vehicles safe and road ready
  • Catch issues early
  • Build a clear compliance trail
  • Stay on top of fleet maintenance
Ready to Use Inspection Templates

To make setup easy, BONNET includes a growing library of inspection checklist templates.

Templates Include:

  • Passenger vehicle inspection checklists
  • Truck and heavy vehicle safety checks
  • EV inspection checklists
  • Daily driver pre start inspections
  • Rental vehicle condition reports

Fleet managers choose their desired template then uncheck the questions they don’t require. 

Smart Traffic Light Results

Every inspection submission is automatically categorised using a simple traffic light system so you can see vehicle health at a glance.

  • 🟢 Green = Pass, everything is good

  • 🟠 Orange = Issue found, not critical but needs attention

  • 🔴 Red = Critical fail, needs urgent action

This makes it easy to spot risk across your fleet fast.

Failed Issues, Tracked Until Fixed

BONNET automatically creates a “Failed” tab that holds all vehicles with orange and red inspection results. Nothing gets lost, nothing slips through.

Once the issue has been resolved, that vehicle or item moves into the Pass tab, giving you a clean, live view of what still needs attention and what’s sorted.

This creates a clear audit trail and helps fleet managers stay on top of maintenance, safety, and compliance without spreadsheets or manual follow

Set Inspections at the Right Time, Or Fill Them Anytime

Fleets can set inspections to be completed:

  • Daily, Weekly, Monthly

  • Alternatively, checklists can be set to always appear in the app, allowing drivers to complete them at any time when needed.

Drivers also have the ability to submit an Fault at any time, which is ideal for reporting damage, faults, or safety concerns as they happen.
