Compliance Made Simple: Smarter Solutions for Transport Operators

Compliance management might seem challenging, but it doesn’t have to be. With the right tools and approach, it can become an opportunity to enhance your business and build a solid foundation for success. While compliance is a legal requirement in our sector, it can also be a strategic advantage when managed effectively. At Convey, we simplify daily processes, helping operators save time, increase productivity, and reduce costs, ensuring their businesses are audit-ready.

Transport operators face evolving rules and requirements, with updates such as tachograph changes, new compliance standards, and testing regulations expected in 2025 and beyond. These changes highlight the importance of staying prepared with efficient systems and processes to navigate shifting standards. The UK Traffic Commissioners’ 2023-24 Annual Report revealed over 1,283 public enquiries last year due to compliance failures, emphasising the need for effective processes to meet regulatory demands confidently.

These developments provide an opportunity for operators to move away from outdated, fragmented systems that are both time-consuming and prone to error. By adopting smarter, integrated solutions, businesses can reduce manual effort, enhance compliance processes, and simplify day-to-day operations—enabling managers to focus on growth and strategic priorities.

Convey’s software platform is designed to make compliance simple and effective. With a range of user-friendly modules on a single platform, operators can tailor Convey’s system to suit their business needs, choosing as many or as few modules as required. Key areas of support include:

• Tachograph Analysis: Monitors drivers’ hours to prevent breaches and ensure adherence to UK and EU regulations.
• Fleet Management: Tracks vehicle maintenance and scheduling, ensuring fleets remain roadworthy and aligned with current and future standards.

• Walkaround: A paperless solution for managing vehicle inspection checklists, ensuring accurate defect reporting in line with DVSA requirements.

• Earned Recognition (ER): Supports operators in aligning with DVSA’s compliance standards, whether seeking accreditation or improving internal processes.

As one of the few DVSA-approved IT system providers offering both Driver System and Vehicle Maintenance System capabilities for the Earned Recognition Scheme, Convey acts as a single supplier contact point. This ensures seamless integration with the scheme’s standards, helping operators stay audit-ready and operate more efficiently.

Our customers regularly share positive feedback about how Convey has supported their businesses.

Nick Thomson, Transport Manager at Bishopsgate Logistics, shared his experience:

“We recently had both a FORS audit and a DVSA audit, and on both occasions, using Convey to demonstrate our fleet and driver management has been superb. The platform allowed us to present all the necessary information quickly and efficiently, significantly easing the audit process. So, thank you.”

This feedback demonstrates how Convey’s platform simplifies compliance while delivering real results in critical audit scenarios.

The transition to digital systems doesn’t need to be disruptive or expensive. With Convey, operators have a flexible, cost-effective solution tailored to their needs, paying only for the modules that support their business.
