3. Automating escalation of overdue maintenance, tracking completed and pending inspections, and centralizing documentation for audits.

4. Automation ensures minimized downtime, reduces liability, supports regulatory requirements, and bolsters staff accountability in whitewater rafting operations.

Trigger Conditions

2. Automated triggers based on time-based recurrence (monthly, quarterly), mileage logs, or manually flagged wear incidents.
