Which cars are off road and which inspections are due?

Lanterne

Seven cars are off road: five in for repair at Current Works, one awaiting a shipped part (CV‑118, three weeks), one flagged for a low battery. Six annual inspections are due this month, two are already overdue. All of it read straight from Vulog and the service log, no scrolling the sheet.

Lanterne

Filed to CV‑089's log with the photo and opened the case: quote requested from Current Works, tonight's booking unaffected. Works the same from WhatsApp, so your techs send photos where they already talk and nothing new gets installed.

Battery watch

A 12V battery drifting low becomes an alert and a task, so nobody has to sit on the Vulog dashboard. The same watch covers cars parked but not charging, and every return that needs a clean. Autonomous

Caught earlyPlaybook · 12V

CV‑207's 12V battery is dropping and no one was alerted.

CV‑207 is on a long-term rental at Hamilton. Its 12V battery has drifted to 12.1 volts, the point where it can fail to start. The data has been in Vulog the whole time, but there is no alert, so today someone would only catch it by scrolling the dashboard. Lanterne caught it and prepared the task.

How it runs
Watches every car's 12V level in Vulog against a threshold you set, especially cars sitting on long rentals.
Raises a task, notifies the nearest tech, and flags a repeat offender for a proper battery check.
Never touches the car itself. It alerts and tasks; a tech does the boost.

Deploy & rebalance

When a location runs low against its target supply, Lanterne raises a deploy task to move cars to the demand. Autonomous

How it runs
Watches each location's supply against a target you set, with the cruise-ship schedule and hotel demand in view.
Raises a deploy task with how many cars to move, from where, and by when, and assigns the driver.
Never drives a car itself. It sizes the move and tasks it; a driver relocates the cars.

Accountability playbook
Every task carries who it was assigned to, when it was done, and a photo at completion, straight from a WhatsApp link, so a tech barely changes how they work.
Every task carries its how-to (steps, photos, the reference video), so a new hire works like a veteran from day one.
Rolls the day up per person, so you never have to ask who did what across five locations.
Never grades a person on its own. It shows the work; the conversation is yours.
