What was your team’s process prior to using our Checkedsafe?
Defect reporting was performed using a paper version suitable for each type of vehicle on the fleet
What was the most obvious advantage you felt the Checkedsafe compliance solution offered your business?
Using the CheckedSafe system has made the reporting of defects efficient; it enables the TM to see immediately defect reports from all operating centres under his/her management, this enables them to arrange rectification swiftly.
The system is also used for gate checks, and health and safety audits
Were you comparing alternative solutions? If so, what were they?
Once the decision was made to move away from paper digital was the only way to go. Amey approached several companies to demonstrate their product. A wide selection of management across the business scored the process, two companies were very close in the scoring and each were given the opportunity to trial their product. Checked Safe proved to be more user friendly and adaptable to the Amey business.

irreplaceable during this COVID-19 pandemic allowing our TM’s to manage the
defects reports whilst working from home.
