In short

Digital walkaround check apps all cover the basics; the differences show up in defect handling, offline reliability, pricing and how audit-ready the records really are. This page sets out HaulGuard's approach and gives you a neutral checklist to compare any walkaround app against.

What to look for

How to compare the options

Built for UK DVSA rules

Check that templates map to DVSA's Guide to Maintaining Roadworthiness and cover HGV, PCV and van differences — not a generic inspection form.

Closed-loop defect management

Look for defects that route to a mechanic and are tracked through repair to sign-off, not just logged.

Offline-first

Drivers often have no signal at the depot or roadside. Confirm checks complete fully offline and sync later.

Transparent pricing

Per-active-vehicle pricing with off-road vehicles unbilled is easy to predict. Watch for per-seat or bundled tiers.
