03 - How It Works

How Certick Works

The Certick platform is an automated due diligence assistant that assists drivers in performing proper pre-trip inspections to ensure the safety of every trip.

The initial corporate account setup entails the creation of driver accounts, the addition of vehicles into the system, and the synchronization with your logistics or transportation management system.

Straightforward mounting instructions are provided

Pre-start Check

The driver accesses the pre-trip safety
inspection plan and navigation instructions
in the Certick application

Truck

Equipped with NFC tags in key inspection areas that must be checked by the driver during a pre-trip safety inspection.

Driver

The driver puts the Certick bracelet on their wrist, their flashlight, or a piece of clothing, and the driver inspects their vehicle before departure.

NFC

The number and location of key inspection areas are determined in advance and NFC tags are installed there to be used as proof that the driver physically inspected them

Bracelet

The bracelet features offline operation and smart synchronization. At the end of every inspection, the bracelet syncs with the smartphone application and uploads the information it collected from NFC tags to the Certick Web Platform

Off-line operation and Smart sync

Certick
Web Platform

Detailed
Inspection Logging

Certick saves every inspection’s progress and results and uploads them to a cloud-based web application for review by the driver’s manager

Warnings
and Alerts

Our system keeps track of inspection progress and issues warnings when the inspection order has been changed if there are any missed steps, and when inaccuracies are detected.

Certick Bracelet

Our proprietary NFC-scanning bracelet makes hands-free smart inspections possible. The Certick bracelet connects to the driver’s phone and automatically logs inspection progress. This allows drivers to focus on each step of the pre-trip safety inspection without unnecessary interactions with their smartphones and allows drivers to have both hands available to perform each step properly.

Preorder

The bracelet guides the driver through each step of the inspection by showing where to go and what to inspect. This ensures that no step is missed. Each tag is scanned by the bracelet automatically when within 5 cm of the bracelet. The bracelet determines the best time to sync with the mobile application when it has an optimal connection to the smartphone via Bluetooth.

How close should the bracelet be to scan an NFC inspection tag?

Approximately 5–15 cm for about 2–3 seconds. This improves accountability by making sure that each scan is intentional. When the tag is successfully read, the bracelet will blink green and make a confirmation sound. This confirmation facilitates the identification of tags and speeds up the inspection process.
Is the bracelet waterproof and dustproof?

Yes, our bracelet is IP67 rated to withstand submersion up to 1 meter underwater and is fully protected against dust.
How long does the Certick bracelet’s battery last?

The Certick bracelet has a battery life of approximately 20 days. We recommend charging every 15 days to ensure continuous operation.
Is there a possibility that the bracelet will scan the wrong tag?

No, the bracelet needs to be close to the correct tag for 5 seconds to scan it and there will be a prompt on the bracelet to confirm that the inspection was complete.
