Looking for a CheckedSafe alternative?
CheckedSafe is a well-regarded, low-cost DVSA walkaround and defect app — if compliance is all you need, it's a solid choice. But if you're running a haulage or tipper operation and want dispatch, tarmac reconciliation, driver pay and invoicing in the same app, that's where Raahi comes in.
What CheckedSafe does well
Credit where it's due: CheckedSafe is an award-winning vehicle compliance system with digitised defect reporting, a management portal, GPS at each check, a tamper-proof audit trail, and a keen price (around £1 per vehicle per week, 30-day trial). For a fleet that just needs DVSA walkarounds and defect records done well and cheaply, it's a genuinely good tool.
Where Raahi is different
Raahi isn't just a compliance app — it runs the whole operation from the yard to the invoice:
- Daily dispatch with routes — paste your transport plan, drivers get turn-by-turn directions.
- Tarmac ticket reconciliation — match supplier invoices to real deliveries and stop overpaying.
- Driver pay — premiums, dead-mileage and wait time captured as drivers work.
- Invoicing — supplier bills and customer invoices in one place.
- Multilingual — English, Urdu, Polish and Punjabi for your drivers.
- ...plus the full DVSA walkaround, defects and 15-month records.
