Before and After Inspectly360
What changes once ground support equipment (gse) inspection software runs on one mobile-first platform with photo proof and live dashboards.
Before Inspectly360
- The driver signs a paper card that confirms nothing and is filed in a folder nobody reads.
- A spongy brake or a hydraulic leak is mentioned verbally and forgotten before the next shift.
- A failed beacon or proximity alarm is noticed only when a safety officer challenges the unit airside.
- The maintenance manager calls each shift to learn which units are unserviceable or grounded.
- Walkaround cards are searched by hand when an ISAGO auditor asks for GSE inspection records.
After Inspectly360
- Each pre-use walkaround is logged on mobile against the GSE unit with photo evidence and a named driver.
- A brake or hydraulic defect routes to GSE maintenance instantly with severity, photo, and location.
- Beacon, horn, and anti-collision checks are recorded each shift with the result against the asset.
- A live dashboard shows pre-use status, open defects, and grounded units across the GSE fleet.
- A scoped, timestamped evidence pack exports per unit for the auditor in minutes.
What Is GSE Inspection Software, and How Do Ramp and Maintenance Teams Use It Across a Fleet?
Ground support equipment (GSE) inspection software is the platform GSE maintenance managers, ramp operations supervisors, and technicians use to run daily pre-use walkarounds and keep defensible records across the fleet. Inspectly360 digitises pre-use checks on brakes, hydraulics, fluid leaks, tyres, lights, seatbelts, horn, beacon, and proximity and anti-collision systems in one record aligned to IATA AHM and IATA IGOM. Ground support equipment (GSE) inspection software for ramp operations and GSE maintenance teams running daily pre-use walkarounds on brakes, hydraulics, lights, and anti-collision systems across the fleet.
Today the pre-use walkaround is a paper card the driver signs at the start of shift, the brake check is a verbal nod, and the proof a unit was inspected is a folder in the GSE workshop. When a tug rolls out with a hydraulic leak, a belt loader has a dead beacon, or a tow tractor brake is soft, nobody sees it until a near-miss or an airside challenge. Across a busy ramp every driver completes the card a little differently, so the maintenance manager cannot compare serviceability across units.
Inspectly360 replaces that with mobile capture on iOS and Android: drivers complete the pre-use walkaround against the QR-tagged unit, record brake, hydraulic, light, and anti-collision results, and capture a photo of any leak or damage. Findings route to a tracked defect with owner and deadline, planned-maintenance clocks raise alerts before service intervals fall due, and a branded evidence pack exports per unit when ISAGO or a safety auditor asks.
How Does a GSE Daily Pre-Use Walkaround Run from the Stand to the Defect Record?
GSE maintenance and ramp teams follow this loop for daily pre-use walkarounds, defect routing, and serviceability review.
- 1
Tag Every GSE Unit by Fleet Number
Assign QR identity to tugs, belt loaders, GPUs, and steps so each unit carries its own walkaround history, defects, and service intervals.
- 2
Run the Daily Pre-Use Walkaround
Drivers confirm brakes, hydraulics, tyres, lights, seatbelts, horn, beacon, and anti-collision on mobile, capturing a photo of any leak or damage.
- 3
Raise Defects on the Spot
A soft brake, a hydraulic leak, or a failed beacon becomes a tracked defect routed to GSE maintenance with severity and location.
- 4
Track Service Intervals
Scheduled servicing and component intervals raise staged alerts so units are planned in, not discovered overdue at a pre-use check.
- 5
Close Defects and Export Evidence
Findings close with verified sign-off, and a branded evidence pack exports per unit for ISAGO or a safety auditor.
How Should Ground Handlers Pilot Digital GSE Inspections Before Fleet Rollout?
Answers to common long-tail questions, kept on one canonical page to avoid thin duplicate URLs.
Pilot on One GSE Type
Start with a single unit type such as tow tractors so the walkaround template, defect routing, and service clocks are validated against real fleet numbers before rollout to belt loaders, GPUs, and other bases.
Access and Roles
Drivers get pre-use capture only, GSE technicians get defect and service sign-off, and the maintenance manager gets read access to the full evidence trail per unit through role-based access.
Which Capabilities Help Teams Track GSE Brakes, Hydraulics, and Anti-Collision Checks Consistently?
The platform capabilities that power ground support equipment (gse) inspection software across every site.
Daily Pre-use Walkaround Capture
Drivers complete the GSE walkaround against the unit in under two minutes on mobile. Why it matters: a pre-use defect found before the unit moves prevents a ramp incident and an unserviceable unit reaching the aircraft.
Brake and Hydraulic Defect Routing
A soft brake or a hydraulic leak becomes a tracked defect with photo, severity, and owner. Why it matters: a brake or steering fault on a moving GSE unit near an aircraft is a serious ramp risk.
Beacon and Anti-collision Checks
Horn, beacon, seatbelt, and proximity and anti-collision results are recorded each shift. Why it matters: a dark beacon or dead proximity alarm removes the warning ramp staff rely on around live aircraft.
Service Interval Clocks
Scheduled servicing and component intervals raise staged alerts per unit. Why it matters: a unit running past its service interval is the gap an ISAGO audit exposes.
Fleet Serviceability Dashboard
Pre-use status, open defects, and grounded units roll up across fleet numbers. Why it matters: the maintenance manager sees serviceability without calling each shift.
Per-unit Evidence Export
A branded GSE records pack exports per fleet number for the auditor. Why it matters: an ISAGO request becomes a minutes-long export, not a folder search.

Frequently Asked Questions About Ground Support Equipment (GSE) Inspection Software
How does GSE inspection software handle the daily pre-use walkaround?
Each GSE unit is tagged by fleet number, and the driver scans it at the start of shift to open the correct pre-use walkaround. They confirm brakes, hydraulics, fluid leaks, tyres, lights, seatbelts, horn, beacon, and the proximity and anti-collision system, capturing a photo of any leak or damage. The walkaround takes minutes and records the named driver, the time, and the unit. Any failed item becomes a tracked defect routed to GSE maintenance before the unit moves. This replaces the paper card that confirms nothing and gives the maintenance manager proof, per unit, that the pre-use check actually happened on the ramp.
Can drivers and technicians use the same system with different access?
Yes. Drivers get a pre-use capture role: they complete the walkaround, log defects, and submit on iOS or Android in minutes. GSE technicians get defect and service sign-off, so a fault raised at the stand routes to the workshop with photo, severity, and location. The maintenance manager gets read access to the full evidence trail per unit. Because the walkaround is scoped to the unit and the driver, the record shows exactly who inspected what and when. A defect logged on the apron is visible to maintenance immediately, rather than mentioned verbally and forgotten before the next shift.
Does the platform work offline on the apron and in the workshop?
Yes. Capture works fully offline on iOS and Android, which matters on the apron, in the GSE workshop, and at remote stands where signal is weak. Drivers complete pre-use walkarounds and technicians close defects with photos while offline, and records sync automatically once the device reconnects. Nothing is lost if a check is done in a dead spot, and the timestamp reflects when the work was done, not when it synced. This keeps the GSE evidence trail accurate for the maintenance manager and for an ISAGO auditor reviewing serviceability across the fleet.
How does it track brake, hydraulic, and anti-collision faults?
Brakes, hydraulics, and the proximity and anti-collision system are explicit items on the pre-use walkaround. When a driver records a soft brake, a hydraulic leak, or a dead beacon, it becomes a tracked defect against the unit with a photo, severity, and the failed item named. The defect carries an owner and a deadline, and it stays open until a technician verifies the fix and signs it off. Because these are the faults most likely to cause a ramp collision or an aircraft strike, routing them immediately rather than verbally closes the gap where a known fault quietly stays in service across several shifts.
What evidence can we produce for an ISAGO audit?
Every walkaround, defect, service task, and closure is stored with a timestamp, the named person, and photo evidence against the specific fleet number. When an ISAGO auditor asks for GSE inspection records, you export a scoped, branded evidence pack per unit covering the audit window in minutes. The trail shows daily pre-use checks, brake and hydraulic results, beacon and anti-collision status, and the closure of any defect with verified sign-off. This replaces the search-the-folder routine that walkaround cards force, and the evidence is consistent across every shift and base in the operation.
Can we scope access so a contracted handler only sees its own GSE?
Yes. Role-based access scopes each user to the units and tasks they are responsible for. A contracted ground handler sees only the fleet numbers assigned to it, while the airport or airline keeps combined visibility across the whole GSE pool. Drivers see pre-use capture only. This prevents a contractor receiving fleet-wide record access beyond its remit, while still giving the operator a single consolidated view of serviceability. Access changes are logged, so the audit trail shows who could see and sign off on what, and when, which matters when several handlers share one apron.
