About This Automation
Compliance and certification records track vehicle inspection dates, findings, and renewal deadlines across a fleet. Manual entry, duplicate checking, and spreadsheet monitoring consume hours weekly and create audit delays.
Automation extracts inspection data directly from incoming reports, validates it against vehicle records, and monitors renewal dates daily. Alerts are sent automatically, and audit reports compile in minutes instead of hours.

How The Automation Works
The full workflow, from trigger to completion.
An inspection report arrives via email or is submitted through a form. The automation platform monitors the inbox and extracts the vehicle ID, inspection date, findings, and technician name.
The automation reads the inspection report, extracts key fields, and validates the vehicle ID against the master record. If the vehicle is not found, the automation flags it for manual review.
The automation queries the master vehicle database to retrieve the vehicle's history, current certifications, and renewal schedule.
The automation compares the incoming inspection date and vehicle ID against recent entries in the database to prevent duplicate logging.
The automation applies regulatory rules and the inspection interval to calculate the next due date and stores it in the record.
The automation appends the new inspection entry to the vehicle record, including date, findings, technician, and next due date.
The original inspection report is converted to PDF and stored in a centralized document repository with a standardized naming convention for easy retrieval.
The automation monitors all vehicles daily and sends notifications to the compliance officer when a certification is due within 30 days.
