What It Is

Compliance Control is a fleet compliance management SaaS for UK HGV and PSV operators. Its core purpose is to bring daily walkaround checks, defect tracking, driver compliance, audit records, and cost-per-mile analysis into a single system. The product is clearly designed around DVSA audits, Operator Licence compliance, and FORS documentation preparation, rather than being a general-purpose project management tool.

Core Features and Security

Features include daily walkaround checks, defect lifecycle management, accident records, MOT/PMI/tachograph/service reminders, driver licence and CPC 35-hour training monitoring, workshop rectification tracking, fleet health dashboards, real-time multi-site syncing, exportable compliance reports, and cost analysis. Drivers can complete checks and submit reports from their own phones via the iOS/Android app, with no dedicated hardware required. On security, the website highlights UK data residency, UK-hosted infrastructure, GDPR compliance, SHA256 hashing, a tamper-evident chain, immutable records, database-level prevention of updates/deletions, and event sourcing. Overall, its audit-evidence design appears fairly complete.

Pricing and Service Model

Pricing is relatively transparent: the self-service software costs a £49/month base fee plus £6/vehicle/month, with an example of 25 vehicles priced at £199/month. A 14-day free trial is available with no credit card required. The fully managed service costs £25/vehicle/month, with a £250/month minimum, and includes monitoring, defect escalation, MOT/PMI tracking, CPC reminders, audit preparation, SMS/WhatsApp alerts, weekly reports, and a dedicated compliance manager. Payments are processed by Stripe, billed monthly, and can be cancelled.

Pros and Cons

Its strengths are its strong industry focus, low onboarding barrier, driver-friendly mobile workflow, clear audit trail, clear UK data-hosting information, and the option to choose either self-service software or outsourced managed compliance. Limitations include the lack of visible information on open APIs, webhooks, enterprise system integrations, or SLAs. Its terms also state that it does not provide legal or regulatory advice, so ultimate compliance responsibility remains with the Operator Licence holder. The minimum spend for the fully managed service may be a burden for smaller fleets.

Who It’s For and Access from China

Compliance Control is best suited to transport companies operating HGVs/PSVs in the UK that need to replace paper check sheets and prepare for DVSA/FORS audits, especially multi-depot fleets or operators without dedicated compliance staff. There is no textual evidence regarding access from China, so this is unknown. Payments mainly rely on Stripe, so companies in China should confirm network accessibility, invoicing, GBP payment support, and fit with local regulations before adoption. For China-focused fleet management, local TMS, fleet maintenance, electronic logbook, or compliance management alternatives should be evaluated first.
