One platform. Five stakeholders. Zero gaps.

Compliance Transport closes the communication loop between councils, transport operators, and drivers — automatically. No chasing. No missed renewals. No excuses.

The Council

Full Oversight. Instant Audit Readiness.

Councils gain a single dashboard showing the compliance status of every operator, vehicle, driver, and route in real time. When something is about to expire — or already has — the platform flags it automatically.

  • Live RAG compliance status across all providers
  • One-click compliance reports for Ofsted & DfE audits
  • Instant incident alerts and defect escalations
  • SEND passenger profile management & route oversight
The Driver

Simple Check-ins. Zero Paperwork.

Drivers complete digital daily walkaround checks, log attendance, and report incidents directly from their phone — feeding data straight into the operator's and council's dashboard in real time.

  • Mobile-first daily vehicle defect checks
  • Digital passenger boarding & attendance logs
  • One-tap incident reporting straight to the council
  • Credential reminders — DBS, badges, licences
  • Submit digital vehicle cleaning & sanitation logs
The Parent

Peace of Mind. Instant Absence Reporting.

Parents gain a dedicated portal to log upcoming student absences directly into the system. The driver's manifest and route are updated instantly, eliminating wasted journeys and angry phone calls.

  • Log child absences instantly via the Parent Portal
  • Automatic manifest updates for the assigned driver
  • Clear visibility of transport provider details
  • Securely submit and track pupil address change requests
The Workshop

Digital Job Cards. Faster Defect Resolution.

When a driver logs a defect during their walkaround check, it instantly appears in the Mechanic Portal. Workshop staff can track, repair, and sign off defects digitally, immediately updating the vehicle's compliance status.

  • Receive daily defect reports from drivers in real time
  • Digital defect sign-off directly on the platform
  • Automatically clears RAG restrictions once repaired
The Inspector

On-Street Spot Checks. Zero Evasion.

Council enforcement officers conduct on-the-spot field checks to verify vehicle compliance, driver credentials, and passenger capacity instantly from their mobile device.

  • Instantly fetch vehicle compliance status via mobile
  • Verify driver credentials in the field
  • Live capacity checking and vehicle type matching

Every feature exists to prevent a failure.

Compliance Transport is built around one principle: a safeguarding lapse, an expired document, or an unsafe vehicle should be impossible to miss.

Contract Protection

Contract-Protecting Compliance Automation

One expired O-Licence or lapsed insurance policy can suspend an operator's entire council contract. Compliance Transport eliminates that risk by tracking every critical document across your supply chain and escalating issues before they become crises.

  • Automated Document Register: O-Licences, MOTs, and vehicle insurance tracked live — with encrypted document uploads direct to the vault.
  • 30-Day Expiry Alerts: The system notifies both the operator and the council 30 days before any critical document expires — so no one can claim they didn't know.
  • RAG Risk Scoring: Each operator is scored Red, Amber, or Green in real time. Your council sees who's at risk before the contract is jeopardised.

Safeguarding

Automated Safeguarding Alerts — Never Let an Expiry Slip Through

A driver with an expired DBS or an unvetted passenger assistant should never be dispatched on a SEND route. Compliance Transport makes that scenario impossible by locking out unqualified personnel before they reach the vehicle.

  • Centralised DBS & Badge Tracking: Enhanced DBS checks, council badges, safeguarding training, and right-to-work documents — all in one place, with expiry alerts sent at 30 days.
  • Blocked Dispatch for Unvetted Staff: The system prevents the assignment of drivers or passenger assistants whose credentials are expired or incomplete — no override, no exceptions.
  • Passenger-Specific Profiles: Medical and behavioural needs are securely attached to designated trained staff — so every SEND pupil travels with someone qualified to support them.

Live Operations

Live Visibility. Zero Blind Spots.

When a pupil doesn't board, or a driver reports an incident on route, every second counts. Compliance Transport gives councils and operators a live operational picture — so the right people are notified instantly and response times are measured in minutes, not hours.

  • Live Run Tracking: Monitor active school routes in real time via the dashboard — see progress, delays, and exceptions as they happen.
  • Digital Passenger Attendance: Passenger assistants log every pupil at boarding with real-time sync — creating a timestamped safeguarding record for every journey.
  • Instant Incident Escalation: Driver-to-council incident reporting for delays, behaviour events, and vehicle defects — logged, timestamped, and audit-ready from the moment it's submitted.

Fleet Safety

Unsafe Vehicles Never Leave the Yard

A vehicle with an unresolved defect or expired MOT being dispatched on a school run is both a safeguarding failure and a legal liability. Compliance Transport removes that possibility entirely by connecting your drivers, workshop, and council in a single, automated enforcement loop.

  • RAG Fleet Status Board: MOTs, tachograph calibrations, and service intervals tracked with a colour-coded live dashboard — Red means grounded.
  • Automatic Vehicle Restriction: Any vehicle with an expired critical test or an unresolved safety defect is automatically blocked from dispatch. No manual override.
  • Digital Daily Defect Reports: Drivers submit DVSA-standard walkaround checks from their phone — defects escalate instantly to the workshop queue and are visible to the council.

Telematics & Safety

Data-Driven Passenger Safety

Passenger safety isn't just about documents; it's about how the vehicle is driven. Compliance Transport integrates directly with Quartix telematics to monitor driving style in real time, scoring drivers based on acceleration, braking, and speed limits.

  • Live Driver Scoring: 7-day rolling telematics scores automatically flag unsafe driving behaviors before an accident happens.
  • Quartix Integration: Seamlessly pulls harsh braking, rapid acceleration, and speeding data directly from installed Quartix trackers.

AI OCR Verification

AI-Powered Document Verification

Manual data entry leads to fatal safeguarding errors. Our AI OCR (Optical Character Recognition) engine automatically reads and extracts data from uploaded compliance documents, ensuring absolute accuracy.

  • Automated Data Extraction: Instantly reads expiry dates and credential numbers from uploaded DBS certificates, MOTs, and driving licences.
  • Fraud Prevention: Reduces the risk of doctored documents or human error bypassing your compliance checks.

Finance & Invoicing

End-to-End Run Invoicing

Stop disputing transport invoices. Because Compliance Transport tracks every run, passenger boarding, and route completion in real time, billing becomes entirely automated and indisputable.

  • Automated Council Billing: Generate accurate invoices for completed runs instantly. No manual calculations required.
  • Outstanding Balance Tracking: Operators can track lifetime revenue, pending payments, and overdue invoices directly from the dashboard.

Hygiene & Sanitation

Verifiable Vehicle Cleaning Logs

For SEND transport, vehicle hygiene is critical. Compliance Transport includes a dedicated sanitation tracking module, requiring drivers to log interior and exterior cleaning with time durations and checklists.

  • Digital Cleaning Checklists: Drivers log specific interior and exterior cleaning tasks directly from their mobile app.
  • Time & Duration Tracking: Track exactly how long was spent cleaning each vehicle to ensure deep cleans meet council standards.

Field Enforcement

Mobile Inspector Spot Checks

Compliance doesn't just live on a dashboard. Council inspectors can verify vehicle legality, driver credentials, and passenger limits instantly from the roadside using the Inspector Mobile App.

  • Roadside Verification: Instantly cross-reference physical vehicles and drivers against their live compliance status.
  • Capacity Management: Ensure vehicles are strictly matching their licensed passenger capacity limits.
