Digitize Your Commercial Vehicle Upfitting Workflows

Why Upfitters are Ditching Paper

Many commercial vehicle upfitters still rely on clipboards and paper forms for work orders, safety inspections, compliance tracking, and billing. These outdated methods slow down operations, cause costly errors, and make it harder to stay compliant with DOT and FMVSS standards.

Common problems include:

• Longer project cycles
• Lack of real-time job visibility
• Risk of errors and compliance issues

Improve Data Accuracy

Employees gather more thorough and accurate data.
Data collection is automated. Inspections identify errors immediately.

Data analysis is playing a crucial role in understanding end-use applications and informing upfitting decisions. 

• Use intelligent forms to automatically capture digital data, saving time and minimizing errors.
• Take pictures, scan barcodes, and record audio to document equipment problems.
• Capture real-time data from external systems and Internet of Things devices (such as weather, temperature, humidity sensors, and more).
• Based on form submissions, give workers video and PDF guides to help them with any tasks or repairs.
  
• Assign forms to additional employees automatically, forward them to management, or start a task or workflow to initiate new work or repairs.
• Ensure workers are always productive with offline functionality that operates in locations without WiFi or cell connectivity.
