The inspection starts the repair process.
Drivers complete guided pre-trip and post-trip Driver Vehicle Inspection Reports (DVIRs) in the app. AI checks required photos for likely defects, and flagged issues remain connected to the vehicle as maintenance work begins.

Visible crack extends from the lower passenger-side edge. AI flagged for manager review, not auto-actioned.
Accountability: pre-trip submission, so the condition responsibility rests with the previous shift.

AI proposes the attribution. A manager confirms before anything is assigned to a driver.
AI checks the inspection, not just the checkbox
Drivers follow a guided checklist and capture required photos. AI checks that each photo is usable, looks for visible defects, and flags anything needing human review.
One defect. One work order. One compliance trail.
Every reported defect creates a work order. If later DVIRs identify the same issue, they connect to that work order. Complete the repair once, and every linked defect closes with it.
Stay ahead of service before it becomes downtime
Schedule maintenance by date or mileage, see what is due or overdue, and manage preventive service beside open repair orders.
Know when the vehicle's condition changed
AI compares photos across inspections and driver handoffs. Existing damage stays documented, while a new dent, mess, or other change is flagged to the shift when it appeared. This protects drivers from old damage and gives managers clear accountability for new issues.
Questions about DVIR.
What does the AI check?
AI checks that each required photo from the guided pre-trip and post-trip inspection is usable and looks for visible defects, flagging anything that needs human review.
What happens when a defect is found?
Every reported defect creates a work order. If a later DVIR identifies the same issue, it connects to that same work order, so completing the repair once closes every linked defect.
How does InstaRoute identify new damage?
AI compares photos across inspections and driver handoffs. Existing damage stays documented, while a new dent, mess, or other change is flagged to the shift when it appeared.
Can a manager review or correct an AI finding?
AI flags anything it finds for human review rather than deciding on its own, and condition-change findings give managers clear accountability for what changed and when it appeared.
