Transport Manager is an easy to use tool that keeps track of commercial vehicle Mots, road tax (VED), inspections and tachograph calibrations, as well as driver card and vehicle unit downloads. See at a glance what the next event is, whether you have one vehicle or a larger fleet, there is no limit to the number of vehicles. Once a vehicle is added, inspections can be scheduled based on your inspection intervals. You then have a visual reminder of Mot date, the next inspection and tachograph calibration date. The top display shows all upcoming events, in order, for all vehicles. These are colour highlighted as they approach, this is configurable in the settings. These can also be viewed in full in the events list. When an Mot, inspection or calibration is booked into the workshop, change its status to 'booked' to remind you of the workshop date rather than the expiry date. Choose to get a notification to remind you about all events at a time of day that suits you. Also choose how far from the event that you would like to be reminded. The next display shows a list of all vehicles and their next event. These can also be viewed in the vehicles list with each vehicle listed with its relevant dates. At the bottom is a reminder for driver card downloads and vehicle unit downloads, the periods can be changed in settings. All data is synced across devices using iCloud. I developed this app after a compliance check by the DVSA, I was using a simple version that I had made for myself and they suggested that I should market it!

About

Subby App

Read full description

The Subby App is a compact app to allow any HGV or delivery driver to accept jobs from the Roadrunner Transport Management System without the contractor necessarily using the Roadrunner TMS. The app will allow you to receive jobs via email, sms or other messaging apps and supply you with the details you need to get the job done. To get started you only need to provide your name and email address. While jobs are active (not new, booked or completed) the Subby App is able to track your location while you are moving to provide real-time ETAs of shipments and evidence of delivery. This feature can be disabled within the app, however may be a contractor requirement. Privacy Policy: https://roadtech.co.uk/privacypolicy/subbyapp/
