Offline electronic checklist: how it works without internet

An offline checklist platform can make your fleet management and maintenance so much easier that you will regret not adopting it sooner.

Vehicles are often on a route, on a long trip, and end up stopping in places with weak internet access or no connection of any kind to complete the checklist.

This means you have no data and cannot keep track of fleet performance during trips. But with Prolog App's electronic checklist, things are different!

In addition to all the advantages of being a fully digital solution, it can be used even without internet, in offline mode. That way, no data is lost and all of it is recorded normally as soon as the device reconnects.

What is the offline checklist platform?

Our platform actually works with internet access, but it has an offline feature that lets you complete a checklist without being connected. In general, it is straightforward: the platform contains questionnaires about fleet vehicles for inspections at the departure and/or return of each trip.

The system therefore helps manage mechanical faults, opening work orders and repairs for each license plate in the fleet.

The electronic checklist is also a way to create a database about your fleet's vehicles. All information entered is saved and used to generate reports later.

What features does it have?

Features may vary depending on the system you choose to use. With Prolog, you get:

• creation of customized models;
• editing of existing models;
• adding images to the gallery and work orders;
• completing checklists online and offline;
• offline checklist configuration;
• offline checklist synchronization;
• changing KM (offline checklist);
• deleting checklists;
• checklist traffic light;
• opening WOs from a checklist;
• closing checklist WOs;
• checklist reports.

How does the offline system work?

A very common question is whether you can use all the features of the offline checklist platform. You cannot create or edit a checklist without an internet connection, but you can configure the checklist and complete it in full.

As soon as the device used to complete the offline checklist establishes a new internet connection, it will synchronize all information and update the system.

If this does not happen automatically, there is a function to sync the offline checklist platform. It should be used once you have an active connection. Simply access the system on the smartphone used for the inspection, open the offline checklist tab and tap the “sync now” button.

The other functions are more relevant to the fleet manager than to the truck driver completing the checklists. They therefore work only with a connection and, in some cases, only through Prolog's web version.
