Vehicle & Fleet Management
The Vehicle Management module keeps a register of your fleet vehicles, their compliance documents, and service status, and raises alerts as documents or services come due.

Vehicles​
Each vehicle record stores:
- Registration number (unique per vehicle) and vehicle type.
- Compliance documents — insurance, PUCC (pollution certificate), road tax, and fitness certificate. Each holds its own identifier, expiry/validity date, and an uploaded document URL.
- Service tracking — current run (km), last service date, and the run reading at the last service, used to work out how far the vehicle is from its next service.
- Contacts — a primary contact (name and number) and the operators the vehicle is operated by.
- Authority scope — a vehicle can be tied to a specific assigning authority/site, or marked as available for all authorities.
Vehicles can be disabled rather than deleted when they leave the fleet.
Vehicle Types​
Vehicles are grouped under configurable vehicle types, which can themselves be enabled or disabled.
Alerts & Resolution​
The module raises alerts as a vehicle approaches a service interval or as a compliance document nears expiry. Alerts carry a priority and a "days before expiry" value, and a corresponding WhatsApp message is sent to the vehicle's primary contact (see Surgery, Operational Snapshot & Vehicle Alerts).
Open alerts can be resolved or dismissed from the alert log. When a vehicle is updated — for example a renewed document is uploaded — its related open alerts are resolved automatically.
Update Logs​
Every change to a vehicle is captured in vehicle update logs, with a diff viewer so you can see exactly what changed and when.
tip
Keep the run-km reading current so service alerts fire at the right time, and upload renewed documents promptly — doing so clears the related expiry alerts automatically.
