Lytx is adding a DVIR Service to help fleets manage Driver Vehicle Inspection Reports.
Lytx DVIR Service will join Lytx’s all-in-one suite of fleet management solutions, which also include video safety, compliance, maintenance, fuel management, asset tracking, and fleet tracking tools. It can be bundled with Lytx’s ELD service or added separately. It will be available starting early in the third quarter.
DVIR is the formal record that confirms a driver has thoroughly inspected their commercial vehicle before and after taking it out on the road.
For fleet managers currently using Lytx’s platform and tools, adding DVIR Service will provide them with a simplified electronic option that includes a customizable checklist that can be accessed through the Lytx Driver App and Lytx Web Account. Areas of concern within a custom checklist, such as service brakes for a vehicle or trailer, can be tracked closely and issues can be reported directly to a mechanic or fleet manager.
Drivers using Lytx DVIR Service can also upload photos and videos (up to 3 seconds) to enhance their reports and help mechanics better understand issues with a vehicle or trailer. Without time-consuming paper reports or having to log into a separate app to access DVIR functionality, drivers can save time by completing their inspections digitally with single sign-on capability within their existing Lytx account.
DVIR reports and other records can be accessed electronically (for three months) via a single sign-on to the Lytx Driver App or Lytx Web Account. Easy-to-use checklists can be customized to account for different vehicle types and used to focus on specific areas of concern on a vehicle or trailer.
For fleets that do not require DOT compliance, Lytx DVIR Service can be used to enhance maintenance programs and scheduling.
