Every readiness check you perform with the G2G app creates a live record in the G2G console. That means crews know immediately that gear is on board, and admin users have clear, time-stamped insight into what’s happening on the ground.
Follow this process before shift change, after gear restocking, or as part of daily routines:
1. Start Inventory Scan
- Fire up the G2G app.
- Select the Check Inventory menu item.
2. Scan the Location Tag on the Vehicle
- Find your ID Tag (Location Tag), this should be located inside the drivers door.
- To start the readiness check scan the Location Tag, this tells G2G where you are (e.g. “Truck 25 Bravo”).
- Upon scanning the ID Tag the G2G app will display the Manifest linked to this location.
3. Sweep Through the Compartments
- Hold down the scanner gun trigger to being scanning.
- Walk slowly, moving the Scanner Gun in a sweeping motion across the gear bays.
- You’ll hear beeps as the RFID tags are picked up.
- You will also see the number of assets seen increase as you continue to scan.
4. Watch the App Screen
- As the scanner picks up assets in your manifest you will see them turn from red to green.
- Green = equipment has been seen by the scanner.
- Red = equipment has NOT been seen by the scanner.
5. Manually Confirm Any Unread Items
- If an item is present but didn’t scan (e.g., tag is blocked), swipe on it in the app:
- Swipe right to mark it as manually sighted — shown in green with a 👁️ icon.
- If multiple quantities exist, you’ll be prompted to enter how many you’ve sighted.
- Swipe left to confirm an item is missing — shown in yellow.
6. Save Manifest Check
- Once the check is complete, you can add a note if needed.
- Tap Save Snapshot to finish.
- A time-stamped record is created, showing what was found, what was missing, and any operator notes.
Use Cases in Action
- Shift change → Give the next crew confidence everything is there
- Returning from a job → Make sure nothing gets left behind
- Pre-callout → A 3-second scan = one less thing to worry about
- After resupply → Confirm new stock is where it should be
Because when the call comes in, the crew needs to know: “It’s on board.”
Tips from Experienced Crews
- Sweep slow and steady — accuracy beats speed
- Keep the trigger held down while moving through bays
- Always scan the truck tag first so checks are logged correctly
- If the scanner misses an item, trust your eyes and swipe it in
- Regularly review manifests to match updated gear lists
The Payoff
By scanning onsite with the G2G app, you’re doing more than just ticking boxes:
- For crews → you guarantee readiness and build trust.
- For admin users → every check leaves a digital trail in the G2G console, giving full visibility into equipment status across the fleet.
That’s accountability and transparency from the truck bay to the console — ensuring nothing gets overlooked when it matters most.

Truck Readiness Using Asset-Level Manifests
In this system, a truck is treated as an asset — not a location.
Because a truck is:
- Mobile
- Self-contained
- Dispatched as a unit
- Expected to be operationally complete before deployment
It should use an asset-level manifest.
What the Truck Manifest Represents
A truck manifest defines what should be present on that truck.
It does not mean the truck is ready.
It defines the expected configuration.
For example, a truck manifest may include:
- Safety equipment
- Tools
- Spare parts
- Documentation
- Site-specific gear
The manifest represents the standard the truck is expected to meet.
How Readiness Is Actually Determined
Readiness is not created by applying a manifest.
Readiness is determined by performing an Inventory Check against that manifest.
The sequence is:
- The manifest defines expectations
- An Inventory Check is performed
- The system compares expected vs actual
- The result determines readiness status
If all required items are present and compliant, the truck can be marked as ready.
If items are missing, expired, or incorrect, the truck is not ready.
Multiple Readiness Contexts for a Single Truck
A truck may operate in different contexts.
For example:
- Daily Operations
- Emergency Response
- Training Deployment
Each context may require a different manifest.
The truck can have multiple manifests applied.
During an inventory check, the user selects the relevant manifest for that operational context.
Each check produces its own readiness result.
Nested Assets Within the Truck
If the truck carries structured sub-assets (e.g. a toolbox, medical kit, or equipment case):
- Those items should be created as assets
- Each can have its own manifest
- They can be checked independently
This preserves accountability and audit history at the correct level.
The truck manifest should only define items expected directly on the truck itself.
Important Clarifications
- A truck is an asset, not a location
- A manifest defines expectations, not readiness
- An Inventory Check produces readiness
- Readiness is a status derived from comparison
- Applying a manifest does not imply compliance
