Best fleet compliance software for small UK hauliers (2026)

There's no single "best" — the right tool depends on your fleet size, whether you want compliance only or the whole operation, and how much you'll pay. Here's an honest look at three of the options UK operators shortlist, and who each suits.

1. CheckedSafe — best for low-cost compliance

An award-winning, low-cost DVSA walkaround and defect app (around £1 per vehicle per week) with a management portal, GPS at each check and a tamper-proof audit trail. If all you need is compliance done well and cheaply, it's hard to beat on price. It doesn't handle dispatch, invoicing or driver pay.

Best for: operators who want the cheapest way to run DVSA walkaround and defect compliance.

2. FleetCheck — best for deep compliance on larger fleets

A mature, feature-rich UK platform: maintenance planning, live MOT/RFL, 70+ alert types, driver licence checking, incident management and hundreds of reports, with O-licence tools on higher tiers. Plans are tiered (roughly £3–8 per vehicle per month) and generally aimed at fleets of 10+ vehicles on 36-month contracts.

Best for: fleets of 10+ vehicles wanting the deepest compliance and maintenance admin, where a longer contract is fine.

3. Raahi — best all-in-one for small & tipper operators

Raahi covers DVSA walkarounds, defects and 15-month records like the others — then goes further, adding daily dispatch with routes, Tarmac ticket reconciliation, delivery-ticket capture, driver pay and invoicing, in English, Urdu, Polish and Punjabi. It's £4.99 per truck per week, all-in, with unlimited drivers, no minimum fleet size and no long contract.

Best for: small hauliers, owner-drivers and tipper/tarmac operators who want compliance and the operation in one app, without a minimum or lock-in.
