The biggest fleet risks aren't the ones you know about

They're the ones hiding in paper forms, missed checks and forgotten defects

Guardian gives you visibility
before problems become incidents.

Digital Prestarts and compliance management built for vehicle and fleet operators.

Built to simplify fleet safety and compliance.

  • Digital Prestart Checks

    Drivers can complete Prestart vehicle safety checks directly from their mobile device before heading out.

  • Customisable Checklists

    Tailor Prestart questions to suit different vehicle types, assets, and operational requirements.

  • Multi-Asset Support

    Assign multiple assets to a single
    user and track checks across your
    fleet in one place.

  • Failed Prestart Prevention

    Vehicles marked with failed Prestarts
    can be restricted from use until issues are resolved.

  • Operator & Vehicle Tracking

    See who completed checks,
    where they were completed, and which vehicle was involved.

  • Defect and Incident Reporting

    Drivers can instantly report defects, issues
    and incidents using photo evidence as part of the Prestart process.

  • Maintenance & Servicing Visibility

    Keep track of servicing requirements
    and maintenance records without relying on spreadsheets or paperwork.

  • Notification-Based Rechecks

    Once maintenance is completed, drivers can be notified to complete a new Prestart before the vehicle returns to service.

That's why we built Guardian, for operators just like you.

Less paperwork. Less risk. More control.

Built for operators and managers who don't have time for paperwork

If it gets driven or needs a safety check before it's used, Guardian covers it. Tailor the checks to each vehicle type and manage trucks, trailers, plant, machinery and light vehicles through the same simple workflow, so your whole operation sits on one system, not a drawer full of forms. And you don't have to be a fleet to need it. If your team drives company vehicles to get the job done, the same safety and compliance duty applies, paperwork and all.

Paper vs Guardian

Same checks, same compliance, none of the chaos. Here's what changes when you move off paper.
On Paper
Checks get skipped or rushed
Defects reported late, or not at all
Unsafe vehicles go out anyway
Records scattered across gloveboxes
A scramble to find proof at audit
No idea who checked what
With Guardian
Done on a phone in minutes, every time
Logged on the spot, with photos
Failed checks allow stand-down until fixed
One time-stamped digital record
Audit proof on demand
See who checked what, where and when

"When we looked at the real risk of not having complete maintenance records if there was an incident, we knew we needed to change."

Backed by our M5 platform

Guardian isn't a standalone app you'll outgrow. It's the in-field operator's layer of Symtech's M5 platform, the system operators already run their vehicle maintenance, RUC and compliance on. What your team captures in the field flows straight into M5, including current odometer readings, where the office handles servicing, reminders, reporting and records. One connected system, from the cab to the back office.

When paired with the Guardian Tracking Module, it also gives managers a full fleet view: live vehicle and asset location, historical trip activity including accessory use, and driver behaviour like overspeed and idling. All from the palm of your hand.
