Engagement 5 · Live demo

Driver Incident Packet

Crews across the touring industry already improvise this over text — a quick photo, a pin dropped in a group chat. This makes it one tap — and this page is the working system, not a mockup: scan the QR with your phone, file a report, and watch it land in the inbox below.

Investment

$6,500initial+$450/ month

Retainer is month to month — no term, cancel anytime.

Why this pays back

One incident that arrives as a packet instead of a game of telephone pays for the month.

Today an incident is a phone call: driver describes it, dispatcher relays it, the mechanic asks the questions the dispatcher can't answer. Crews across the touring industry already text photos to the shop when needed — this formalizes that instinct into a sixty-second report with GPS, photos, and severity, so the right call gets made once.

Setup timeline

deliberately conservative

2 to 3 weeks from kickoff to stickers on every coach — the simplest build on this page.

The initial buys

  • The report page itself — a web app that opens in one tap from a link, no app store, no login; QR sticker artwork for the driver area included
  • Auto-capture of location and time; prompts for coach ID / VIN last-4
  • Photo and video upload — the shop sees exactly what the driver is seeing
  • Issue type, severity, and short-notes flow tuned to your fleet's vocabulary
  • Instant email summary, a webhook into your existing workflow, and an optional PDF incident packet

The monthly covers

  • Hosting and delivery infrastructure
  • Delivery assurance: automated retries, de-dupe, and delivery logs for spotty cell coverage
  • Form and routing changes the same week you ask
  • Direct support line to Matt

The ROI math

Year-one investment

$11,900

Break-even

About one incident a month arriving as a clean packet instead of a 45-minute phone relay.

Expected year-one return

2–5×

Estimate, not a promise: Assumes ~30 minutes saved per incident across driver, dispatch, and shop, plus one right-first-time dispatch per year instead of a wrong tow.

Speculative scope based on public materials and common patterns across touring coach operations. Real engagement is shaped together — see the note on the Overview tab.

Try the real thing

1 · Scan with your phone

In production this QR lives as a sticker in the driver area of every coach — and each coach's sticker carries its own ID, so the form opens with the coach already filled in. This one is coach 4817's. No app store, no login — the sticker is the training.

2 · Or run it right here

Same page the QR opens — embedded live.

3 · Watch it land — the shop's inbox

Waiting for the first packet…

This inbox refreshes every few seconds and is the demo stand-in for your real one — in production the same packet arrives as an email, a webhook into your workflow, and an optional PDF.

How it fits the other engagements

  • · Not the Roadside Copilot: the copilot is a conversation for the 1 a.m. breakdown. This is a sixty-second structured report for everything that doesn't need a conversation — the noise, the drip, the light that came on and went off.
  • · Not the pre-trip: inspections are scheduled; incidents aren't. This is the "anything that doesn't look right" button, available at rest stops and 2 a.m. truck stops alike.
  • · Feeds the early-warning queue: every packet becomes labeled fleet history — the maintenance engine learns from what drivers actually report.
  • · Standalone-friendly: this is the cheapest engagement on the page and needs nothing else to work. If you want a low-risk first move, it's this one — and you just watched it work.
