Case Study: Belknap Landscape achieves DOT compliance and 20% time savings with Whip Around

Belknap Landscape Stays DOT Compliant With Whip Around

Belknap Landscape, a 30‑year full‑service landscaping firm with about 85 vehicles and seasonal staff that nearly doubles, was struggling with an inefficient paper DVIR process. Operating out of four facilities made transferring inspection paperwork cumbersome, led to lost or missed inspections, poor visibility into repairs and driver accountability, and made DOT compliance difficult — so the company adopted Whip Around’s driver inspection app and web dashboard to replace paper DVIRs.

Using Whip Around’s mobile apps and dashboard, Belknap Landscape gained real‑time fault notifications, photographic evidence of defects, manager alerts and clearer work assignment, which made mechanics proactive and reduced missed inspections. Whip Around delivered measurable benefits: a 20% time savings for the fleet manager, tens of thousands of dollars saved annually by eliminating paper transfers, faster DOT roadside checks, and freed admin time for AR/AP and job tracking — improvements the team credits to Whip Around’s product and support.
