Vigillo Innovates Again with Release of Inspection Management System
Portland, Oregon – August 16, 2011— Vigillo LLC, creators of data mining software products designed to aggregate, organize and deliver complex fleet safety information in an easy-to-read scorecard format, today announced the release of its new Inspection Management System (IMS). The web-based application represents an entirely new category of product designed to automatically track and manage all aspects of roadside inspections. Schneider National is the first carrier to utilize this innovative one-of-a-kind product.
“The Vigillo Inspection Management System (IMS) is an expansion of already important services that Vigillo provides to Schneider National, Inc,” said Don Osterberg, senior vice president of safety, security and driver training at Schneider National. “It will enable efficiencies in our current Roadside Inspection process and provide more granular visibility to violations and data discrepancies that occur at Roadside Inspections, enabling us to correct issues in a more timely and effective manner. The robust analytics provided by IMS will allow us to focus on effecting driver behavioral change where needed and actively manage our CSA scores. In short, we are excited to use Vigillo’s IMS solution.”
For the very first time, the Vigillo IMS allows carriers to enter or upload their master lists of drivers and vehicles and to enter or upload inspections and violations as drivers report them from the field. These master lists are then compared to inspection reports automatically captured daily from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA).
The Vigillo IMS identifies all mismatches coming from the FMCSA. Missing and erroneous data on inspections, violations, drivers and vehicles is highlighted and available for immediate correction in all Vigillo Scorecard Reports and for optional submission to FMCSA’s DataQ’s system. Any FMCSA inspection assigned to a carrier with incorrect DOT, VIN, Driver CDL, violations, dates and more will be instantly highlighted, recognizable, and actionable. In addition to identifying incorrect data coming from the FMCSA the IMS can also tag these problems for follow-up and reporting as internal workflow rules dictate.
Key benefits of the Vigillo IMS include:
