Paperless defect and service records

Paper records in a workshop environment are prone to several issues:

  • Handwriting varies in quality and readability
  • Time consuming to distribute and collect
  • Easy to damage or destroy
  • Easy to lose
  • A risk to your business

While CMS can print serial numbered defect sheets for your drivers to complete, manual handling in addition to the points above pose a risk to your business when monitoring the efficiency of your workshop and critically, when auditors appear on your doorstep.

One of our customers moved from paper based defects and service records in CMS to 100% electronic records, mitigating the risks outlined above. Staff are able to submit vehicle defects via the employee kiosk (CMS Kiosk) situated at the depot offices or on the road via their tablet (CMS Mobile). Incoming defects appear in CMS within seconds, which are then be prioritised and allocated to mechanics for review. Mechanics in the workshop log into CMS directly and enter data about the resolution of defects or completion of services.

Time saved, records correct, efficiency increased.
