Hey NEXi, start my pre-trip inspection

Fleet managers Part 1

Your 30-day trial

Our goal is simple: your drivers completing inspections by voice, and you seeing them in your dashboard within the first week. You have a dedicated Fleet Success Representative for the whole trial. No hardware and no credit card needed to start.

Before Day 0

Welcome

You receive this guide and a kickoff invite. Gather your vehicle list (unit number, VIN or plate) and 3-5 drivers to start with.

Day 0-2

Kickoff call

30-45 minutes. We set up your account together, add vehicles, run the recall check, tour the dashboard and agree the rollout plan.

Day 2-5

Pilot drivers

3-5 drivers install HeyNEXi and complete their first voice inspection. We send you a link to the first one.

Day 5-14

Full rollout

You forward our announcement and the driver section of this page to everyone. We track activation and help with stragglers. Check-in on Day 7.

Day 14-30

Value & decision

Check-in on Day 14, a Day-21 Value Review (inspections done, defects caught, hours saved), decision call by Day 30.

What we need from you

  • Your vehicle list - unit number, VIN or plate
  • Names and mobile numbers of your pilot drivers
  • A backup contact person
  • Ten minutes to forward our driver announcement
  • Your top three trial goals, in your own words

Three tips from fleets who succeed

  1. Pick volunteers for the pilot. Enthusiasm spreads.
  2. Open your dashboard once a day in week one. It is where the value shows up.
  3. Tell drivers why. A timestamped, photographed inspection protects them too.
Fleet managers Part 2

The fleet dashboard

Your web view of everything drivers do in HeyNEXi. Open it in any browser - nothing to install. Your Fleet Success Representative sets up your account with you at kickoff and sends the login link. The menu on the left is organised into Fleet, People, Safety, Operations and Engagement; the bar at the top has search, the Assistant and your notifications.

NEXi fleet dashboard overview

Getting in

  1. Go to fleet.heynexi.com and sign in with your work email (or open the link in your welcome email).
  2. Set your password and time zone when prompted.
  3. Bookmark the page - you will use it daily in week one.

Where to find things

Dashboard home

Your day at a glance: alerts to mark as read (incidents, recalls), quick links to Fleet, People, Safety, Operations and Engagement, and today's Schedule - how many vehicles are available, reserved, in use, overdue or blocked.

Safety → Inspections

Every pre- and post-trip DVIR as drivers submit it, with driver, vehicle, odometer, time and result - marked Safe or Issues Noted. Open one to see each item and the defect photos.

Safety → Open Defects

Everything a driver flagged, across the whole fleet, until it is resolved. Your maintenance to-do list.

People → Users

Every driver and manager. A driver's record shows total inspections, current streak, badges and points, assigned vehicles and last sign-in - so you can see who is active and who still needs a nudge.

Fleet → Vehicles

Each vehicle's page shows inspections, open defects, active engine codes (DTCs) and unresolved recalls in one row, plus details, the assigned driver and its Scan2Drive QR code. Put a vehicle in maintenance or disable it from here.

Fleet → Schedule & Reservation Trips

Who has which vehicle and when. Drivers can reserve a vehicle for a trip; you see availability, reservations and overdue returns.

Set the fleet up the way you work

Scan2Drive

Every vehicle has a unique QR code. A driver scans it in HeyNEXi to take custody of the vehicle, so inspections and trips land on the right unit. Print each code and stick it in the cab.

Safety → DVIR Config

Choose which items appear in the inspection checklist for your fleet - so drivers are asked about what matters for your vehicles, no more, no less. Set this before your pilot drivers start.

Engagement → Incentives

Drivers earn points, streaks and badges for completed inspections. Use it to recognise consistent drivers - it is one of the fastest ways to get adoption.

Engagement → Conversations

Message drivers from the dashboard, individually or as a group - handy for rollout reminders.

People → Departments & Safety → Tags

Group drivers by department and label vehicles with tags so larger fleets stay easy to filter.

Operations

Map, alerts and reminders for the fleet. Engagement → Reports gives you the numbers for your Day-21 review.

Ask the AssistantThe Assistant button in the top bar answers questions from your live fleet data: “Which vehicles have open defects?”, “Who hasn't done a pre-trip today?”, “Any recalls this week?”. The bell next to it collects your notifications.
Your trial, inside the dashboardThe banner at the top counts down the days left in your trial. To keep everything running after Day 30, add a payment method from that banner - nothing changes for your drivers. Your Fleet Success Representative will walk you through the options at the Day-21 review.
Fleet managers Part 3

Adding vehicles and inviting drivers

Vehicles

  1. Go to Fleet → Vehicles and choose Add vehicle.
  2. Enter the VIN (or plate) and your unit number.
  3. Save. The NHTSA recall check runs automatically and appears under Unresolved recalls on the vehicle's page.
  4. Open the vehicle, print its Scan2Drive QR code and stick it in the cab.

Drivers

  1. Go to People → Users and choose Add user.
  2. Enter the driver's name and email or mobile number and give them the Driver role.
  3. They receive an invite that links their HeyNEXi app to your fleet. Until they accept it, their inspections will not reach your dashboard. Check who has activated under People → Users.
Send drivers the right thingForward drivers the link to this page with “Drivers” selected, or print the two-page Driver Setup Card for the cab. Both say the same thing.
Drivers Part 4

Drivers Part 5

Pre-trip and post-trip inspections

A Driver Vehicle Inspection Report (DVIR) is your record that the vehicle was checked before and after your shift. NEXi walks you through it item by item and builds the report for you. It is timestamped, GPS-stamped and sent to your fleet dashboard instantly.

By voice

  1. Say Hey NEXi, start my pre-trip inspection (or “post-trip inspection”).
  2. NEXi confirms the vehicle you scanned. Say “yes”, or name a different unit.
  3. NEXi reads each item - brakes, lights, tires, mirrors, fluids and so on. Answer “OK” or “defect”.
  4. For a defect, describe it and say take photo with the camera pointed at the problem.
  5. NEXi reads a summary. Say submit, or “go back” to change an answer.

On screen

  1. Tap Inspections, then New inspection.
  2. Choose Pre-trip or Post-trip and confirm the vehicle.
  3. Tap OK or Defect on each item; add photos and notes where needed.
  4. Review the summary and tap Submit.

Past reports are under Inspections → History. Your history is your record too.

Drivers Part 6

Reporting an incident on the road

A collision, a near miss, road damage, a breakdown - NEXi captures the evidence while you stay focused on staying safe. If you need emergency services, call them first. NEXi can wait.

Stop safely, then speak

Say Hey NEXi, report an incident

Describe what happened

In your own words. NEXi records your description.

Add pictures

Say take photo for each - damage, the scene, the other vehicle's plate, road conditions.

Submit

Time, GPS location and vehicle are attached automatically. Say submit - your fleet manager is notified immediately.

The Fleet Assistant and safety recalls

Just ask

NEXi answers out loud and shows the details on screen. You can also type in the Assistant tab.

  • Hey NEXi, is there anything wrong with my truck?
  • Hey NEXi, are there any recalls on this vehicle?
  • Hey NEXi, when was my last inspection?
  • Hey NEXi, how many miles did I drive today?

Recall checks run themselves

NEXi checks every vehicle against the NHTSA recall database automatically. If a recall applies, NEXi tells you when you open the app and lists it under Vehicle → Recalls. Your fleet manager sees the same alert, so you do not need to report it separately.

Questions people ask

I can't find HeyNEXi in the App Store.

On iPhone the app is not searchable yet. Use the “Download on the App Store” badge in the driver setup section of this page, or the direct link your manager sends you. On Android, search “HeyNEXi” in Google Play or use the badge on this page.

Do drivers need any hardware?

No. A phone is all it takes. DriveLink is optional and adds engine diagnostics.

Will the app drain the battery or use a lot of data?

It is designed for all-day use; keep the phone on a charger as you would with navigation. Voice and photos use modest data.

What does the manager see?

Inspections, incident reports and trip records for fleet vehicles. A timestamped, photographed DVIR protects the driver as much as the fleet.

Can we keep doing paper DVIRs during the trial?

Yes. Most fleets run both for a few days, then switch to NEXi only.

A driver's inspections don't show in the dashboard.

Their app is not linked to your fleet yet. Re-send the invite from People → Users and have them accept it in the app.

NEXi doesn't respond to “Hey NEXi”.

Check the microphone permission, turn the media volume up, and try in a quieter spot. Wait for the tone before you continue speaking.

What happens at the end of the trial?

Your Fleet Success Representative walks you through the results on Day 21 and the options on your decision call. If you continue, nothing changes for drivers. If not, you can export your inspection records before access ends.
