In short
For UK operators, the deciding factor is often how native a tool is to DVSA compliance — walkaround duties, the 15-month record window, OCRS and Earned Recognition — rather than a general inspection workflow. Here's how HaulGuard approaches that, plus criteria to compare any alternative on.
How to compare the options
UK-DVSA native, not adapted
Confirm the templates, terminology and record-keeping are built around DVSA's roadworthiness guidance and the 15-month window, not a generic global inspection app.
O-licence and OCRS aware
Look for framing around O-licence undertakings, OCRS and Earned Recognition — the outcomes UK operators are actually measured on.
Offline in the cab
UK depots and roadsides often have no signal; confirm full offline capture and automatic sync.
Predictable UK pricing
Per-active-vehicle pricing in pounds, with off-road vehicles unbilled, avoids currency and per-seat surprises.
