Substantial advancements in the management of DVIRs have occurred in recent years, with the potential for significant cost savings and efficiency improvements. eDVIRs eliminate the need to store and maintain paper-based records of driver-reported vehicle condition, and the emergence of storage offerings in the cloud can also generate even more reporting accuracy and benefits. In this session, panelists will share lessons learned from actual implementations and provide guidance on how to effectively integrate eDVIR software and hardware into maintenance workflow processes.
