Minimum approach distance is not just about where the lineworker stands - it governs every inch of the machine too, from the tip of the boom to the load line, the auger hanging off the digger derrick, and whatever is hanging on the hook. If you ru
When a storm hits, every bucket truck and digger derrick has to roll. HVI gives crews a 5-minute mobile pre-trip, turns flagged defects into work orders in one tap, and tracks mileage so PM never slips — built for electric, water, and gas utility fleets running bucket trucks, digger derricks, service vans, and crew vehicles.
Inspection, maintenance, fuel & fleet reporting — one app
Inspection, maintenance, fuel, parts, and daily crew logs unified in one system. Fleet managers and line superintendents get a complete picture of every vehicle — from bucket trucks and digger derricks to service vans and crew trucks across every yard and district.
Crews complete a guided checklist on their phone before rolling out. Mark Repair or Replace, attach photos and voice notes, submit a signed PDF — OSHA-compliant and stored digitally.
Flagged defect becomes a work order in one click. Assign a technician, pull parts, track every repair step with labour and material cost logged automatically.
Set PM by odometer, PTO hours, or calendar. HVI monitors every vehicle and creates the work order when service is due — including annual boom and dielectric inspections.
Every crew member logs inspections, fuel, and usage from the app. Weekly PDF delivered to fleet management and safety automatically.
Fuel logged per vehicle with receipt photo. Parts inventory with min/max levels, bulk upload, and auto-deduction when consumed against a work order.
Maintenance cost per vehicle, per district, per fiscal year. Weekly summaries delivered to your inbox for budget planning and rate case support.
Before a crew takes a bucket truck out of the yard, the HVI app walks them through every checkpoint — boom, outriggers, PTO, hydraulics, lights, dielectric integrity. Flag a problem, snap a photo, record a voice note. The fleet shop gets an alert the moment a defect is submitted.
Lineman flags a hydraulic leak on the boom or a cracked outrigger pad during pre-trip. HVI creates the work order, notifies the fleet shop, parts are pulled from stock — truck is back in service before the next crew rotation. No clipboard getting lost between the yard and the shop.
Configurable inspection templates and PM schedules for the full range of utility fleet vehicles. Import your fleet from an Excel file or add vehicles one-by-one through the Web Portal.

Utility fleets have hundreds of vehicles across a wide service territory. HVI tracks mileage, PTO hours, and calendar intervals on every vehicle and fires a work order the moment service is due. The technician gets an App notification — annual dielectric tests, boom inspections, and routine PM all scheduled and tracked in one place.
Utility fleet fuel is ratepayer money. HVI logs fuel per vehicle with receipt photo, tracks parts across the fleet shop, and rolls labour and material cost into reports ready for budget planning and rate case documentation.
From paper logbooks and shop whiteboards to digital workflows that keep crews, the fleet shop, and operations leadership in sync — across every yard, every district, every storm.

Defect to repair in one tap. Assign, track, close — full cost log.
HVI watches odometers and PTO hours and creates WOs when due.
Inspections, fuel, usage — weekly PDF to fleet management.
Consumption per vehicle with receipt photo — across all districts.

Less Fleet Downtime

Every truck inspected, PM current
All yards, one view
A bucket truck in the shop during an outage means slower restoration and angry ratepayers. Disciplined PM, digital inspections, and real cost tracking per vehicle mean more trucks ready when the call comes and fewer surprises at budget time.
Utilities using HVI report less fleet downtime, faster storm response readiness, OSHA-ready digital records, and full maintenance visibility from the yard to the regional office.
Fleet managers, line superintendents, and operations directors on what changed after deploying HVI.
We manage 110 vehicles across three districts — bucket trucks, digger derricks, service vans, crew trucks. HVI gives me one dashboard for the whole fleet. Crews do pre-trips on their phone, defects go straight to the shop, and I walk into budget meetings with cost-per-vehicle data I trust.
One-click work order from the inspection changed everything. Lineman flags a boom leak, WO is created, shop tech gets notified, parts pulled from stock — truck is back in service before the next shift. Last storm season we had every bucket truck on the road for every event.
Mileage and calendar PM scheduling means we never miss an oil change or an annual dielectric test. The app notifies the tech with exactly what is due. Our fleet availability went up and our emergency repair spend went down — simple as that.
Pre-built connectors for the telematics, fuel card, and ERP systems utilities already run. Pull GPS and odometer data from Geotab, capture every WEX fuel transaction, and feed maintenance cost into SAP — your existing software stays in place while HVI adds inspection, maintenance, and reporting on top.
See All IntegrationsCommon questions from fleet managers and line superintendents before deploying HVI.
Crew member opens the HVI app, selects the vehicle, and follows a guided checklist built for that vehicle type — boom, outriggers, PTO, hydraulics, lights, cab safety. Each item can be marked Repair or Replace with a photo and voice note. On completion a signed PDF is generated and the fleet shop is notified of any defects.
Yes — one click turns any flagged defect into a work order. Print the WO, pull parts, assign a technician, and track progress. Labour and material costs are captured automatically against that vehicle.
Yes. Calendar-based PM schedules handle annual boom inspections, dielectric tests, and any other periodic certification. HVI creates the work order when the interval is reached and the technician gets an App notification with full details.
Disciplined PM and digital inspections mean more vehicles are service-ready when a storm hits. The fleet dashboard shows the status of every vehicle in real time — what is operational, what is in repair, and what has PM due. You know exactly how many trucks can roll before the first outage call comes in.
Yes. One dashboard shows every vehicle across all yards and districts. Crews use the mobile app in the field; fleet managers and planners use the Web Portal. Cost reporting rolls up per vehicle, per district, or across the whole utility.
Under 90 days on average. Savings come from fewer emergency repairs, better fleet availability (especially during storm season), less admin from going paperless, and OSHA-ready records without dedicated compliance staff.
Yes. Maintenance cost is tracked per vehicle, per district, and per fiscal year with full detail on labour, parts, and fuel. Excel export is available for finance, regulatory filings, and rate case documentation.
