Fleet accident management specialists sopp+sopp have unveiled FleetScout, an intelligent vehicle inspection platform designed to help commercial fleet operators reduce unreported damage, improve compliance, and cut unplanned maintenance – saving up to £5,000 per vehicle annually.
FleetScout was developed in response to the growing fleet focus on proactive maintenance and safer vehicle operations. It brings together a smart mobile inspection app, centralised compliance management platform, and fully automated drive-through inspection towers that deliver a real-time view of fleet condition. The mobile app is also accredited under the DVSA Earned Recognition scheme, supporting fleets in meeting the highest standards of compliance and safety assurance.
AI-Powered Damage Detection
FleetScout uses computer vision AI to detect damage automatically, consistently assessing vehicle condition without relying solely on manual input. The technology can be deployed in a variety of ways depending on operational needs, from driver-led walkarounds to automated vehicle inspections (AVI) at depot entrance and exit.
“As market leaders in Corporate Fleet Accident Management, we have a clear view of what operators are dealing with day-to-day,” said. “Proactive maintenance is high on their agenda, not just to control costs, but to stay compliant, protect uptime, and manage risk more effectively.
FleetScout was built in direct response to those needs. It gives fleet teams a smarter, more consistent way to monitor vehicle condition and take action early, whether through daily walkarounds or fully automated inspections.”

Built on Fleet Management Expertise
The platform has been developed by a team of fleet compliance and vehicle repair experts, backed by over two decades of experience in delivering end-to-end accident management for some of the UK’s largest and most complex fleets. It integrates directly with third-party systems via API and is fully compatible with existing repair, leasing, and compliance frameworks. FleetScout also enables seamless incident reporting, linking with electronic Notification of Loss (eNOL) platforms—including sopp+sopp’s own market-leading solution—to accelerate claims handling and improve repair cost recovery.
“FleetScout is one of the most robust and scalable platforms we’ve ever developed, bringing together advanced AI, automation, and seamless integration.
“It’s not just about automating inspections, but delivering meaningful, real-time data directly into fleet systems. Operators can use our powerful FleetScout Central platform or receive insights via API, helping unify the supply chain, improve visibility, and enable faster, more informed decision-making.”
Dan Woods, IT Director, sopp+sopp
Feedback collated from sopp+sopp with early users of FleetScout have reported improvements in inspection completion rates, better driver accountability, faster repairs, and stronger audit outcomes. For temperature-controlled fleets, the ability to detect damage to refrigeration units early has helped avoid stock loss and maintain delivery integrity.
Deployments are now planned across logistics, retail, utilities, and last-mile sectors, with flexible commercial models tailored to fleet size and operational requirements.
FleetScout is available now, with full implementation support, API integration, and options for both managed and self-build installation of AVI infrastructure.
