Automotive & Fleet

TAAP has worked within the Automotive & Fleet sector since our inception, and has a variety of clients: these range from smaller businesses through to large enterprises and include manufacturers, dealerships, fleet managers, vehicle logistics agencies, breakdown services, insurance companies, accident repair companies and so on. Our aim is to save your organisation money, to reduce your time spent on processing information, and to improve your customer service.

Recently, it's become extremely important for organisations to take notice of legislation which affects the vehicles that employees drive on work-related business. This has thrown vehicle inspections into the spotlight as it highlights how important it is to ensure that vehicles which are driven for work purposes are fully inspected in order that they are safe to drive. For more details, read the full article here.

Our applications, which work on handheld mobile devices (PDAs or tablets), can be used for many different workflow processes:

  • Vehicle inspections and reports
  • Vehicle Disposals and Remarketing
  • Vehicle Rental
  • Vehicle Collections and Deliveries
  • Damage management
  • Smart repair
  • Maintenance & Repair
  • Accident Management - assisted by built in visual controls
  • Data capture for automotive marketing, particularly at events and proomotions

All information collected on appropriate mobile devices can be exported to pdf, csv, or excel files for ease of transfer, if you have chosen not to integrate the application with any back office systems. Data is encrypted as soon as it is submitted so data protection is high and there is minimal risk of access by unauthorised persons. If there is no network connection, data can be saved to the device until a connection returns.

Within the Automotive industry, TAAP has created a number of specialist controls which assist greatly with vehicle hire and damage reporting, vehicle disposals, and deliveries & collections. View the data sheets on the right - TAAP Vehicle Deliveries, and TAAP Vehicle Disposals - to see more detailed screenshots and explanations of how these work.
