Build Any Inspection Checklist Without Coding — HEMM, Vehicles & Plant

Every fleet has that one operator or workshop head who has been asking for a specific check to be added to the pre-shift form for 6 months — a monsoon-specific undercarriage check, an extra brake test for hilly sections, a chemical exposure step on the plant floor — and every time the answer is that IT will look at it. HVI's checklist builder deletes that entire conversation. Your safety officer, workshop head or fleet manager drags together any inspection checklist for any asset class in under 15 minutes, publishes it to the mobile app instantly and rolls it out fleet-wide with zero code, zero IT ticket and zero waiting. Templates for excavators, dumpers, cranes, DG sets, tippers and light vehicles ship with the platform, and every one is fully editable, and you can start a free trial and build your first custom checklist in the first hour.

Why A Real Builder Matters

Most inspection tools sell you a fixed template and charge for every edit. Six reasons that model is broken for Indian mining and construction fleets.

01

Every Site Is Different

Monsoon fault modes in Odisha are nothing like dust ingress in Rajasthan. A rigid template forces you to inspect for the wrong things at the wrong sites.

02

OEM Manuals Vary

A CAT 793F pre-shift check is not a Komatsu 730E pre-shift check. Your inspection needs to mirror the manufacturer manual for each specific asset, not a generic form.

03

Standards Keep Evolving

A new DGMS circular or client HSE update means the checklist must be updated tomorrow. Waiting for a vendor change request is not an option.

04

Fault Modes Emerge From Data

After 3 months of data, you see the same starter motor fault repeating. You need to add a specific check for it immediately, not next quarter.

05

Clients Demand Custom Formats

NHAI, NTPC, Coal India and private EPC contracts each have their own inspection formats. You need to publish client specific checklists per contract, not one generic version.

06

Local Language Matters

A checklist that reads in English only will not be actioned properly by operators who think and speak in Hindi. The builder ships with dual language support out of the box.

The 8 Block Types You Get

Every checklist is built from these 8 reusable question blocks. Mix them freely, add sections, set rules — no coding, no IT ticket.

Block 01

Yes / No

Simple binary questions. "Any visible oil leaks under engine?" Yes on this can auto-fire a corrective work order to the workshop.

Block 02

Pass / Fail

Structured pass or fail check with mandatory photo on fail. Ideal for safety-critical items like brakes, reverse alarms and seat belts.

Block 03

Numeric Value

Operator enters a number — tyre pressure, engine hours, oil dipstick reading. Range limits trigger alerts when values fall outside spec.

Block 04

Photo Capture

Camera opens directly in app. Photo stamped with GPS and timestamp. Ideal for fire extinguisher tags, insurance stickers and defect evidence.

Block 05

Dropdown / Choice

Pre-set list of options. "Undercarriage wear level: Good / Fair / Replace." Standardises language and eliminates typing errors on gloved hands.

Block 06

Signature

Operator, mechanic or supervisor signs directly on the screen with a finger or stylus. Signature is timestamped and permanently attached to the record.

Block 07

Text Or Voice Note

Free text or voice recording for context. Operators who struggle to type long descriptions can speak in Hindi or a local language and attach as audio.

Block 08

Section Divider

Group blocks into logical sections — Engine, Brakes, Tyres, Safety. Keeps the operator experience clean on a mobile screen and speeds completion.

From Blank Canvas To Live Checklist In 15 Minutes

Five plain-English steps that anyone in your safety, workshop or fleet team can follow. No IT ticket. No vendor call.

01

Pick An Asset Or Start From Blank

Choose a pre-built template for excavator, dumper, crane or DG set, or start with a blank canvas. Templates load with typical DGMS aligned sections already populated.

02

Drag Blocks Into Sections

Drag Yes/No, Pass/Fail, Numeric, Photo, Dropdown, Signature or Text blocks into named sections. Reorder freely, rename anything, delete what you do not need.

03

Set Rules And Severity

Mark critical items that lock the asset from dispatch on fail. Set numeric range limits. Configure which items auto-fire corrective work orders to the workshop.

04

Preview On Mobile

Scan a QR to preview the exact operator experience on your phone. Make edits live and re-preview until the flow feels right for your specific asset.

05

Publish To The Fleet

Click Publish. The checklist is live on every operator device in seconds. Assign to specific asset classes, sites or client contracts as needed.

The Template Library You Start With

Drill Rig Pre-Shift Blast hole and exploration drills Every shift Drill string, compressor, stabilisers, dust suppression
Crane Pre-Lift Mobile and crawler cranes Every lift plan Outriggers, wire rope, LMI, hydraulic system
DG Set Weekly Check Diesel gensets 25 to 2000 kVA Weekly Engine, alternator, fuel, cooling, control panel
Tipper Daily Check Highway tippers and mixers Daily Brakes, tyres, tipping cylinder, safety devices
Highway Site Vehicle Utility, staff transport, water tankers Daily Fluid levels, lights, brakes, first aid, PUC

Who Builds Checklists In Your Team

The builder is designed for the people who actually know the asset — not IT. Here is who typically owns different checklists in HVI-enabled fleets.

Safety Officer

Safety & Compliance Forms

Owns statutory formats — DGMS pre-shift, Factories Act inspection registers, client HSE audit checklists. Updates as circulars change.

Workshop Head

Maintenance Inspections

Owns pre-shift, weekly and monthly inspection templates per asset class. Updates when new failure modes emerge from asset history data.

Site Engineer

Site Specific Overrides

Adds site-specific checks — monsoon undercarriage, dust ingress, hilly section brake tests. Publishes to the site fleet without affecting other projects.

Fleet Head

Enterprise Standards

Locks certain critical checks fleet-wide, allows site-level additions on top, and pushes new templates when clients demand contract-specific formats.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need any coding or technical skill to build a checklist?
No. Everything is drag and drop. A safety officer or workshop head with no technical background typically builds a first working checklist in under 15 minutes, and a polished production-ready checklist in under an hour. You can start a free trial and build your first checklist without any support intervention.
Can I copy a checklist and modify it for a different site?
Yes. Every checklist can be cloned in one click, then edited independently. This is exactly how most fleets manage site-specific variants — start from a corporate master, clone per site, add local checks like monsoon undercarriage or dust ingress, and publish.
Does the builder support Hindi language checklists?
Yes. Every question, section title, dropdown option and instruction can be entered in both Hindi and English. Operators toggle language on their app with a single tap. Regional variants and other Indian languages can be configured for specific site workforces on request.
Can we build checklists that auto-fire work orders?
Yes. Any failed item can be configured to auto-generate a corrective work order the moment the operator submits the inspection. Severity level is set per item, and safety-critical failures can also lock the asset from dispatch until a mechanic signs off the repair.
How fast do changes go live to operator phones?
Instantly. The moment you click Publish, the updated checklist is available on every assigned operator device the next time they open the app. There is no app store update, no IT rollout and no waiting period. You can book a demo to see a live publish and mobile refresh happen in real time.
