What the subscription buys

Vehicle records, collection tools and the screens around them

Whip Around packages inspection and maintenance work into subscriptions. Its plan guide describes Standard for inspections and defects, Pro for maintenance, and paid feature additions. The free version starts with the fleet office records; we scope driver capture and connections into your version.

A bill tied to your assets

The plan guide describes billing by asset count, with special arrangements for trailers and equipment. The tailored unlimited offer uses a quoted fixed rate.

fact_check

The daily inspection round

Standard includes inspection forms, defect management and driver and manager apps. Your version can follow your own checklist and escalation rules.

Reports across the fleet

Whip Around offers dashboards and reporting. Your own database lets us combine depot priorities, recurring faults and the evidence your workshop needs in reports you define.

The fleet office you own

Find the missed check, the repeat fault and the next repair

Daily checks

See which vehicles still need evidence

The fleet review separates complete checks from imported summaries, and keeps held vehicles visible.

  • check Daily checks use each vehicle’s local date
  • check Every recorded check retains its item answers and signer
  • check Failed checklist items become defects
  • check Critical failures place the vehicle on hold

Workshop

Put the oldest unresolved faults in front of the team

Review fault age, ownership and repeated component problems with the vehicle history beside them.

  • check Overdue defects and missing owners
  • check Repeated component faults within ninety days
  • check Service work due by date or distance
  • check Repair evidence with technician and recorded cost

Evidence

Keep the record behind the decision

A repair entry and a vehicle release are separate actions, each with evidence to review.

  • check Repairing a fault does not release a held vehicle
  • check Open critical faults block an administrative release
  • check A reviewer’s name and evidence are retained
  • check Certificate and driver expiry records remain visible

Your reports

Ask for the handover your depot actually uses

The database supports reports across inspections, faults and repairs. The free version already answers the questions below.

  • check Depot totals for holds and critical defects
  • check Recorded repair costs kept separate by currency
  • check Printable vehicle, inspection and repair records
  • check Business name, colours and logo set once

Switching

How to switch from Whip Around

This move centers on mapping your Whip Around export headings once, previewing the import before it counts, and running the two systems side by side until you trust the numbers match.

  1. 1

    Export your records from Whip Around

    Whip Around documents CSV exports for assets, inspection history and defects. Pull all three. If your account offers a different export format, use whatever it allows and check with Whip Around support first. Keep the raw files, since you will map their exact column headings in the next step rather than guessing at them.

  2. 2

    Map your columns to the new system

    Whip Around's export headings vary by account, so match each column to the matching field in the new system before loading anything. This is a one-time job done properly rather than repeated. Enterprise DNA does this mapping for you when they install and run the system, so you hand over the export files and they handle the rest.

  3. 3

    Load with a preview run first

    Once your columns are mapped, run the import as a preview before committing it for real. The preview lets you see what will load and catch mistakes early. Exact repeats are skipped automatically, and rows that do not match are set aside rather than loaded incorrectly. If anything fails partway through, the whole batch rolls back, so you never end up with half your records loaded.

  4. 4

    Review what the import flags

    Check every row the preview sets aside for review before you load it for real. Open defects move straight into your working queue. Closed defects, photos, signatures and historic repair sign-offs need a separate check against the original Whip Around files, since these need their own evidence review rather than a simple field match.

  5. 5

    Run in parallel, then switch off

    Keep entering checks in Whip Around while you also enter them in the new system for a short stretch, so drivers and the office stay on familiar footing and you can compare results directly. Once you trust the new records match, stop using Whip Around and cancel the subscription.

construction

Where the real effort goes

The real work is in mapping your own column headings and checklist rules to match the new system, and deciding how far back your history needs to go. Open defects load in cleanly, but closed defects, photos, signatures and repair sign-offs need a separate check against the originals. If Enterprise DNA runs it for you, they handle this mapping and review as part of the setup.

Questions

Instead of Whip Around, answered

Can our drivers still use a phone? expand_more

We can build a phone inspection flow, photo capture and the connections your drivers need into your custom version. The free version serves the fleet office with entered check answers, imported history and printable reports. Keep your current collection process until the driver workflow has been tested.

Can you bring our Whip Around history across? expand_more

Whip Around documents exports for assets, inspection history and defects. We map the actual headings, run a preview and reconcile the records. The free version accepts mapped inspection summaries and open defects. Photos, signatures and historic repair sign-offs need their original files and a separate evidence review.

Does a clear report mean a vehicle is safe to drive? expand_more

No. The report checks recorded dates, completed check evidence, service thresholds and open defects. A competent person still assesses the vehicle and applicable requirements. Closing a repair does not release a hold; a named reviewer must record a separate release.

How does the cost compare with our Whip Around plan? expand_more

Compare your current asset count, plan, additions and contract with the scope you need us to build. Whip Around’s published plan guide describes asset-based billing and it also offers tailored unlimited pricing. Its pricing link redirected during this check, so we do not quote an unverified current rate. Our work has one setup fee, then a retainer.

Do we have to manage the system ourselves? expand_more

No. Choose the managed option and Enterprise DNA installs, connects and operates your agreed version through Omni. Choose the free version if your team wants to maintain it. In both cases your records stay in a database you control.
