Aperia Technologies has developed the Halo Drive app to help drivers perform pre-trip tire inspections and receive tire health updates on their mobile device.

The company says it’s the first automated pre-trip tire inspection tool that delivers tire health insights to drivers.

The app logs the date, time, and tire health when pre-trip inspections are completed, and allows two-way communication so necessary tire service can be easily scheduled.

“Halo Drive rounds out the Halo Connect experience by engaging drivers and simplifying pre-trip tire inspections – possibly the least enjoyed but most critical aspect of downtime avoidance,” said Josh Carter, CEO of Aperia Technologies. “Halo Drive can be customized to alert drivers to critical tire issues that occur in route so service can be scheduled and downtime avoided.”

Benefits for drivers include: the ability to complete pre-trip tire inspections in less than a minute using any mobile device; real-time tire health alerts delivered straight to drivers; and notifications of hardware issues.

Fleet managers benefit from the ability to: filter information sent to drivers; review pre-trip inspection history by vehicle using the Halo Connect web portal; communicate to drivers how they’d like them to respond to alerts within the app. The app is available for download from Android and Apple app stores.
