NORTHERNHAULCOMPLIANCE
Compliance software for UK haulage operators

Audit-ready, every day.

NHC brings walkaround checks, defects, maintenance and driver records into one system — and tells you, in one number, how you'd stand up to a DVSA audit today.

Built for operations of 4–50 vehicles

The driver app

Done in the yard, not the office.

Drivers get a bespoke app on Android and iPhone — not a website squeezed onto a phone. Checks and defects are recorded where the vehicle stands, and they're in your dashboard before the driver is out of the gate.

  • Walkaround checks

    Guided, DVSA-aligned checks with photo evidence, timestamped item by item.

  • Defects

    Raised on the spot, photographed, and routed to whoever fixes them.

  • Wheel torques

    Torque and tread depth recorded per wheel position, with photo proof.

  • Policies and signatures

    Drivers read and e-sign policies on the device. You see who hasn't.

The compliance score

One number for the whole operation.

Calculated from your live records — checks completed, defects closed, maintenance done on time, documents in date. Not a questionnaire. A measurement, recalculated daily.

The score falls when work slips and recovers when the work is done. There's no way to game it — which is the point.

The rest of the system

Everything your licence depends on.

Planning & maintenance scheduling

Design the day's rigs, assign work, and keep PMIs, MOTs and services on a forward planner.

Driver management

Licences, infringements and training records — per driver, always current.

Fleet management

Every vehicle and trailer — history, status and paperwork in one record.

Walkaround checks

Daily checks with photo evidence and a full audit trail.

Wheel torques

Torque and tread depth per wheel position, with photos.

Defects

Raised, prioritised and closed — nothing lost between yard and workshop.

Documents

Version-controlled and issued from one place. Nothing expires quietly.

Policies with e-signing

Issue a policy, see who's signed, chase who hasn't.

Two-factor authentication

Two-step sign-in on every account, office and yard alike.

Control

As tight as you choose to run it.

Compliance intensity is yours to set — how often checks run, how fast defects must close, what escalates and to whom. Start where you are. Tighten as you mature.

Each dial moves independently, whenever you're ready. The score reflects the standard you set — and whether you're meeting it.

Proof

When the examiner asked for six months of maintenance records, we had them on screen before he finished the sentence. That's what we're paying for.
