Morson Vital<\/a> fills over 100,000 shifts per year for the UK rail industry through its expert network of rail contractors. Fleet Manager Keith Woodcock, a trained vehicle technician, has been in post for 17 years and oversees more than 650 vehicles across 23 offices nationwide. These vehicles provide transport for the thousands of operatives the business deploys each year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith has seen the fleet grow from around 200 vehicles to the multi-service operation it is today. This expansion has accelerated over the past ten years, adding both underground and overground rail contracts to the portfolio. In this environment, reliability and safety are paramount, and effective fleet management is essential to delivering on both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Morson Vital operates a large and diverse LCV fleet, ranging from 2-seater vans to tippers and welfare vehicles. All drivers use Quartix Check daily to inspect their vehicles<\/a> before going out on shift, and vehicles are fitted with driver-facing and forward-facing dashcams<\/a>. With operations running day and night on some of the UK\u2019s most safety-critical rail infrastructure, the business relies on Quartix to help keep its vehicles roadworthy, its drivers protected and its customers\u2019 projects running safely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Long-Standing Partnership Evolving With New Safety Tools<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Morson Vital first introduced Quartix fleet tracking<\/a> in 2014, selecting the system to gain clearer visibility of fleet operations, improve safety and reduce operating costs. Over the years, vehicle tracking became a key part of daily fleet management, even helping the team identify incidents of number plate cloning, when fines arrived for vehicles supposedly in London that data showed were actually in Scotland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After nearly a decade of successful use of the tracking system<\/a>, the business expanded its adoption to include the Quartix Check inspections and incident reporting app, and live connected dashcams with crash detection. These additions allow Keith and his team to manage safety, compliance and risk far more proactively, with live reporting and a complete digital audit trail.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Why Morson Vital added Quartix Check Vehicle Inspections<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before using Quartix Check<\/a>, the company relied on emailed or faxed copies of paper reports. This slow process that made it hard to demonstrate maintenance compliance or respond quickly to issues. Moving to the app has given them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
