And it doesn’t flag the job. It books it.
Walkarounds, defects, inspections, tachograph and licence checks in one place. When an inspection falls due, Balloonn emails your garage, reads the reply and books the slot.
Not a separate to-do list. Every line is drawn from your own walkarounds, inspections and licence checks.
Each item names the vehicle, the date and the obligation behind it, so you can check it yourself.
Nothing is signed off or declared roadworthy without a transport manager saying so.
Five logins, five invoices, five places to look. When DVSA asks for fifteen months of records, none of it joins up.
Induction, manual handling, load security, drivers’ hours and yard banksman come as templates written for UK operators. Clone one, put your own SOP and video in it, and assign it.
Your own toolbox talks go in the same place. Set who has to take it and how often it repeats, and the evidence of who has been trained on what sits with the driver’s record.
One record per vehicle and per driver, from the daily check to the annual test.

Every other system tells you an inspection is due, then waits for you to pick up the phone.
Balloonn emails your garage, reads the reply and updates the booking. If nobody answers, it chases. You get a booked slot, not a reminder.
Across twenty vehicles that is the difference between a morning’s work and a notification.
No app store, no passwords to forget. Big buttons and high contrast, because it gets used in the dark wearing gloves.
A defect reaches the workshop the moment it is reported, with the photograph, vehicle, driver and time attached. Nil-defect checks are logged too, because DVSA expects to see them.
Drivers see their own hours, licence status and training in the same place.
The reason fleet software does not get used is that nobody has time to set it up. So we set it up for you, before you log in for the first time. Most operators are running properly inside a week.
