The operational challenge

A clearer record from receipt to release.

Being in the yard is not the same as being ready. Receiving, inspection and preparation can sit with different teams—and a stock list rarely explains what each team completed.

  • Vehicle receiving and condition records linked to VIN identity
  • Configured preparation checklists and recorded operation steps
  • Inspection PDFs to support the next handover

How it works

A repeatable process.
A record you can return to.

  1. Record the arrival

    Confirm VIN identity against the consignment and capture the receiving inspection, photographs and damage observations.

  2. Follow your preparation sequence

    Configure operation steps and checklists for the work your site needs to record, with required evidence where appropriate.

  3. Review before handover

    Review completed work and inspection PDFs. Assess recorded location and bay planning separately through Virtual Yard beta.

What your office receives

The vehicle, the checks, the evidence

Configured steps show the work recorded. Inspection evidence gives supervisors the context for their readiness decision.

Review the record, generate the inspection PDF and share through the available access controls. Keep the evidence useful after the vehicle has moved on.

Fit for your operation

Clear answers before you roll out.

Virtual Yard is beta: layouts, bay reservations and recorded movements—not automatic GPS or RFID tracking.

Preparation checklists do not replace workshop, parts, labour or warranty management.

Can we use our own preparation checklist?

Configured operation steps and inspection templates define the work and evidence required. Bring your checklist so we can demonstrate the sequence that matters to your team.

Will the app automatically find a parked vehicle?

No. Virtual Yard beta reflects recorded positions and movements. Its setup, mobile availability and suitability need to be checked for your operation.
