Fleet Defect Management Software
Capture defects with photos and severity from the driver app, escalate automatically, and track every fix to mechanic sign-off. The audit trail DVSA, FORS and Earned Recognition look for, built in.
Included in all Zohti plans from £5.95/vehicle/month
A few taps and a photo from the driver. Then Zohti alerts the right people and tracks the fix.
Every defect carries photos, GPS, timestamp and driver ID. The exact evidence DVSA examiners ask for.
Safety-critical defects alert the office and mechanics immediately by email, and flag the vehicle unsafe until fixed.
Assign a defect to a mechanic, or send it to the vehicle’s garage in one click. No more lost paper slips or WhatsApp chains.
Resolution notes on every defect, and garage labour and parts on the job, so each fix has a paper trail.
Drivers in dead-spot yards or remote depots still capture defects. Data syncs on next connection.
Every defect on a vehicle in one place, so repeat faults stand out before they become a PG9.
Fleet defect management software is the digital replacement for paper defect books. Drivers raise defects from a mobile app with photos and severity, managers triage them, and mechanics close them with evidence of repair. Every step is timestamped to create an audit trail that satisfies DVSA, FORS and Earned Recognition requirements.
Yes. Defects flagged as S-marked or safety-critical immediately alert the office in Zohti and by email, and can be sent straight to the vehicle’s garage automatically. The vehicle can be marked as VOR (vehicle off road) to prevent further use until the defect is signed off.
Yes. Mechanics resolve defects in Zohti with repair notes, and garage work comes back with labour and parts on the job. Each defect keeps who reported it, when and where, its photos, and who resolved it and when.
Yes. Drivers in remote locations can raise defects with photos and notes offline. The records sync automatically as soon as connectivity returns.
