The Protekt Prestart App

Paper prestart books are a compliance nightmare. Lost pages, illegible handwriting, and no way to prove checks actually happened.

We built the Protekt Prestart App to solve this. Your drivers scan a QR code, tap through a checklist on their phone, snap photos of any issues, and you have instant digital records that actually stand up to an audit.

QR code scan-and-go for any vehicle or equipment
Custom checklists per vehicle type
Photo evidence with timestamps
Instant alerts when faults are reported
Complete audit trail for OH&S compliance

Included FREE with Pro Fleet plans ($11/vehicle/month value)
