- Earned Recognition–ready
Paper checks fail when it matters most
A missed defect or a lost sheet isn't an admin slip — it's a prohibition, a fine, and a dent in your OCRS score, judged against the DVSA Guide to Maintaining Roadworthiness.
Sheets go missing
Paper walkaround books get lost, soaked or binned long before a DVSA auditor asks to see 15 months of them.
Defects slip through
An unreported defect becomes a roadside prohibition (PG9), a fine, and points against your O-licence.
Your OCRS suffers
Every prohibition and missed check feeds your Operator Compliance Risk Score — and more roadside stops.
No audit trail
Reconstructing who checked what, when, with what evidence is near-impossible from paper.
From paper to paperless in an afternoon
Three roles, one closed loop — driver to mechanic to manager, with the evidence captured at every step.
- 1
Driver checks on their phone
A guided DVSA walkaround with photo, GPS and signature evidence — works offline at the depot or roadside and syncs when back online.
- 2
Defects route to the mechanic
Failed items become defects with photos, pushed straight to the mechanic portal for repair and sign-off — a closed-loop record.
- 3
Managers see live compliance
A real-time dashboard of who's checked in, what's outstanding and every overdue compliance date — with alerts before they bite.

Everything UK fleet compliance software should cover
Daily walkaround checks, defect management, compliance dates and audit-ready records — built for UK DVSA from the ground up, not a US inspection app retrofitted for British rules.
Never lose a record
Every check, defect and signature stored securely for the full 15-month retention window — no lost paper sheets.
Catch defects before DVSA does
Severity-rated defect reporting and a mechanic portal close the loop from fault to fix to sign-off.
Prove compliance instantly
One-click PDF and CSV evidence packs for audits, roadside checks and public inquiries.
Works where your drivers do
An offline-first mobile PWA that runs in the cab, at the depot or at the roadside — no signal required.
Photo, GPS & signature evidence
Tamper-evident proof on every check and defect, timestamped and location-stamped.
Compliance dates that chase themselves
MOT, tax, service and insurance expiries tracked, with daily digests so nothing slips.
What a DVSA auditor actually wants to see
The same daily check — but evidenced, timestamped and instantly retrievable.
