Vehicle Photo Log: Your How-to Guide
ehicle damage is one of the most expensive, costly items for a DSP. Taking photos of your vans every single day will document every square inch of what that van looked like so you have a daily record and can hold drivers accountable.
Here are detailed instructions with screenshots on how to find, view, edit, and delete Daily Photo Logs.
You will notice that some of the screenshots are from the mobile view of Hera (and shown in landscape view to see more). We recommend using a mobile device or a tablet to complete your Daily Photo Logs, as you can take the photos directly in Hera. This makes it much easier than taking the photos, then uploading them to Hera. If you are using this feature on a desktop, you will need the photo(s) already saved on your computer to upload them to the Photo Log.
You don't need an "app" to use Hera on your phone. Hera is already mobile-friendly and will work the same way an app would. The best way to easily access Hera on your mobile device is to add our website to your home screen. Below is an under 2-minute video explaining how-to, one for iOS and one for Android.

Additionally, under each daily photo log for each vehicle, it will show you the most recent photos for that vehicle. This makes it easier to spot any differences/damage between the current and previous photos.
