Defect Management
AssetGo’s Defect Management system is tailored to meet the needs of modern fleet operations. It provides a comprehensive platform that addresses the challenges of identifying, reporting, and resolving vehicle defects.
INTRODUCING DEFECT MANAGEMENT
Managing a fleet efficiently requires meticulous attention to detail, particularly when it comes to defect management. AssetGo’s Defect Management system is designed to streamline this crucial aspect of fleet operations, offering an integrated solution that helps fleet managers and transport operators ensure their vehicles are in roadworthy condition. By centralising defect reporting and tracking, AssetGo not only ensures compliance with regulatory standards but also enhances overall operational efficiency.
Enhanced compliance and safety
Ensuring compliance with regulatory standards is critical for fleet operators. AssetGo’s Defect Management system is fully compliant with the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) requirements, providing an auditable trail for all reported defects. This not only helps in meeting legal obligations but also enhances the safety of the fleet by ensuring all defects are addressed promptly and effectively.
Operational efficiency
By centralising defect management, AssetGo reduces the administrative burden on fleet managers. The system provides a clear overview of all reported defects, their severity and the status of repairs. This helps in prioritising repairs, preventing duplication of reports and ensuring that no defect goes unnoticed. As a result, fleet operations become more streamlined, and the overall efficiency of the fleet is significantly improved.
Cost management
AssetGo’s system allows fleet managers to associate costs and expenses with each defect reported, providing a clear picture of maintenance expenditures. This feature aids in budgeting and financial planning, enabling operators to make informed decisions about fleet maintenance and repairs. By having a transparent view of the costs associated with vehicle defects, managers can identify cost-saving opportunities and allocate resources more effectively.
Improved communication
With the ability to email details of defects directly to third-party repairers, AssetGo ensures that repairs are initiated promptly. This feature enhances communication between fleet managers and repair service providers, reducing the time taken to address vehicle issues. Faster response times lead to reduced vehicle downtime and ensure that the fleet remains operational and productive.

AssetGo provides a single, unified list where all vehicle defects are recorded and managed. This centralised approach ensures that all defect reports are easily accessible, preventing any issues from being overlooked.
Detailed defect information
Each defect report includes critical information such as the severity of the defect, who reported it and which vehicle it relates to. This detailed information helps fleet managers prioritise repairs and allocate resources efficiently.
Date and time stamped records
All defect reports are date and time stamped, ensuring a precise audit trail. This feature is particularly useful for compliance purposes, as it provides a clear record of when each defect was reported and the actions taken.
