Vehicle inspections added to Vision

It is now possible to view your individual vehicle inspections within Vision. This service is currently available for those companies that use FTA for tachograph analysis and Vehicle inspection services (VIS) and are in the VIS super user group which allows you to see all the VIS locations which may differ from your tachograph locations.

You should also have permission to view audits and inspections. As a result, the number of locations that you can see within Vision may increase. The location will remain available for as long as there is an inspection attached to it.

(Please note, VIS locations relate to the location at which the inspection took place, not necessarily the location that the vehicle is attached to)

The service comprises the ability to view your inspections vehicle by vehicle through the profile as well as in the vehicle calendar. An icon will also be displayed on the vehicle calendar on dates where an inspection has occurred.

In summary this gives companies using both FTA tachograph analysis VIS a clear view of vehicle compliance in both tachograph regulations and maintenance.

Companies that just take tachograph analysis will see the option in Vision. In these circumstances when you click on the inspection button in either the calendar or the profile page you will see infomercial on VIS.
