Fleet Compliance App

The most DVSA-compliant fleet management app on the market

DDIR puts your entire compliance operation in one place — bespoke driver walkarounds, defect and incident reporting, Work Time, Driver CPC, OCRS and recall monitoring — backed by Andre, your AI virtual transport manager who checks everything every day. One simple price: £1 per vehicle, per week.

Most fleet apps do one thing — a walkaround, a tacho report, a tracker — and then sell you the rest piece by piece. DDIR does the lot. It is a complete, DVSA-grade fleet management platform that captures every daily driver inspection, defect, incident and document in one auditable system, then has an AI transport manager watch over all of it for you.

As a piece of fleet compliance software, DDIR replaces a paper daily driver inspection report (hence "DDIR") with a proper digital walkaround app and driver defect reporting software — so if you're comparing DVSA compliance software options, this is built specifically to satisfy an Earned Recognition or full DVSA standard, not a generic checklist tool.

Built by Fleet Transport Consultants — the people who run DVSA-style compliance audits, provide outsourced transport consultancy, and defend operators at Public Inquiry after a DVSA investigation — DDIR is engineered around one question: will this stand up at audit? Every check is GPS-locked and time-stamped, every defect is tracked to closure, and every record feeds the bundle that protects your Operator Licence. Paper sheets get lost and prove nothing; DDIR turns your routine compliance into a permanent, presentable defence.

And it is genuinely affordable. The entire core platform — every feature on this page — is included for a flat £1 per vehicle, per week. No setup fees. No per-driver charges. No essential features hidden behind a higher tier. Whether you run three vans or three hundred trucks, you get the whole compliance toolkit for the price of a coffee per vehicle per month.

Everything in £1 per vehicle, per week

This is not a stripped-back starter plan. The £1 core gives you the full DDIR platform across both the driver app and the fleet management dashboard. Nothing below is a bolt-on or an upsell — it is all included as standard.

What your drivers carry in their pocket

The driver app is the front line of your compliance. It is fast, guided and works the way drivers actually work — no training required, roadside-ready from the first shift.

  • Fully bespoke vehicle walkaround checklists — we build your checks around your fleet, not a generic template. HGV, PSV, van and car checks, each step guided, with photos and notes captured in a tap and every inspection GPS-locked and time-stamped.
  • Solo-trailer checklists — dedicated trailer checks for operators who shift multiple trailers behind the same unit, so each trailer gets its own recorded, evidenced inspection rather than being lost inside the tractor's check.
  • Defect reporting — drivers raise defects on the spot with high-resolution photos and a clear description, instantly routed to the right manager and tracked through to rectification — the recording, reporting and repair the DVSA expects to see.
  • Incident reporting — purpose-built workflows for a Bump Card (capturing third-party and witness details and scene photos at the moment of an accident), a Health & Safety incident, and a Near Miss, so nothing goes unrecorded and your safety culture is provable.
  • Driver Work Time logging — drivers log their working time directly in the app, ideal for tachograph-exempt operations and light-vehicle fleets that still have a duty to manage hours and fatigue without a tachograph in the cab.
  • Driver CPC management — track every driver's Certificate of Professional Competence, periodic-training hours and renewal dates, with the evidence held against the driver's record.
  • Driver training-evidence logging — record toolbox talks, inductions and competency sign-offs against each driver, building the training history that proves due diligence to an examiner.

What your managers control from the dashboard

The fleet management side turns all that front-line activity into oversight, trends and an audit-defence pack that is ready in seconds.

  • Defect alerts — managers are notified the moment a defect is raised, with the photo, the driver's explanation and the vehicle's history, so safety-critical faults never sit unseen.
  • Fines, penalties and complaints logging — record fixed penalties, prosecutions, infringements and public complaints against the individual driver, building a complete conduct and risk picture per person.
  • OCRS trend management and a plan to go green — monitor your Operator Compliance Risk Score over time, see what is driving it red or amber, and work a structured plan to move and stay green.
  • Manager email notifications — automatic emails for completed walkarounds, raised defects and reported events, so the right people always know what is happening across the fleet.
  • Vehicle recall checks — automatic, fleet-wide manufacturer recall monitoring, flagging any vehicle affected by a safety recall before it becomes a roadside problem.
  • DVSA-grade audit evidence — every check, defect, incident and document is retained, searchable and exportable as an audit-ready bundle for a DVSA visit, Public Inquiry or Traffic Commissioner.

All of the above is the £1 core. There is nothing to add, nothing to unlock and nothing essential held back for a premium plan.

★ The differentiator

Meet Andre — your AI virtual transport manager

A good transport manager checks everything, every day, and tells you what needs your attention before it becomes a problem. Andre does exactly that — built into DDIR, working around the clock, included in your £1 core. It is the single biggest reason operators move to DDIR and never look back.

What Andre does for you

  • Checks everything, every day — Andre reviews your whole operation each morning: walkarounds, outstanding defects, reported incidents, expiring licences and CPC, calibration and PMI dates, OCRS movement and overdue actions.
  • Sends you a daily compliance update — instead of digging through screens, you get a clear daily briefing that surfaces exactly what needs attention and what is on track, so nothing slips between the cracks.
  • Answers "how do I…" on demand — ask Andre a transport-management question in plain English and get plain-English guidance back, whenever you need it — a compliance expert on call without the cost of hiring one.
  • Catches risk before the DVSA does — by watching trends and deadlines continuously, Andre flags the small problems early, so they never grow into the kind that cost you your Operator Licence.

For smaller operators, Andre is like having a transport manager you couldn't otherwise afford. For larger fleets, he is the extra pair of eyes that never has a day off.

What your drivers get — self-service compliance

DDIR is not just a tool for managers; it gives drivers genuine ownership of their own compliance. When you switch on the relevant add-ons, your drivers get powerful self-service features straight on their phone:

  • Infringement briefings and in-app sign-off — when Tacho Analytics is enabled, drivers see their own drivers'-hours infringements explained in plain English on their phone, and can sign infringements in-app. That closes the loop the DVSA looks for — the driver has been told, understands, and has acknowledged — with the signature held as evidence against the record.
  • Their driving-licence details, with renewal and endorsement alerts — when Driver Licence Check is enabled, each driver can see their own licence details and is alerted to upcoming renewals and any new endorsements, so categories never lapse and points never go unnoticed.

Putting compliance in the driver's hand cuts the manager's chase work, speeds up infringement sign-off, and demonstrates to an examiner that your drivers are actively engaged in keeping the fleet legal.

Defend your Operator Licence with evidence, not promises

When the DVSA visits or a case reaches the Traffic Commissioner, what protects you is not what you say you do — it is what you can prove you do. DDIR exists to make that proof effortless. Every walkaround carries a GPS lock and a time-stamp. Every defect has a recorded report, a rectification and a closing sign-off — the recording, reporting and repair an examiner wants to see. Every driver carries the full 15-month inspection history DVSA requires, and every infringement, training record and licence check is held against the person it belongs to.

When you need it, that all collapses into a single audit-ready bundle — your defence pack, generated in seconds rather than reconstructed over frantic weeks. Combined with Andre catching risk before it grows, DDIR moves you from reactive fire-fighting to a genuinely defensible operation. That is what we mean by the most DVSA-compliant fleet management app on the market — and it is why operators who have faced a Public Inquiry trust it most.

Do my drivers need training to use it?+

Managers get a clean dashboard and Andre's daily summaries, so the system is easy for the whole team to adopt from day one.
