If you can’t see it, you can’t manage it: Navigating Fleet Risk

In fleet management, the biggest headache isn't usually the problem you’re currently fixing, it’s the one you don't know exists yet. Whether it’s a driver’s expired licence or uninsured grey fleet vehicle, a lack of visibility is almost always the root cause of non-compliance. The reality of "I didn't know" doesn't stand up in court. If you aren't seeing the data, you aren't managing the risk.

More than just the UK’s Number 1 Licence Checking Service

Most people know DAVIS as the UK’s leading service for driving licence verification. While we’re proud of that reputation, licence checking is only one piece of the puzzle. Checking a licence tells you a driver is qualified, but it doesn’t tell you if they are safe or if the vehicle they’re using is legal.

To help you get a handle on the “invisible” side of your fleet, we’ve put together a comprehensive set of checklists. These aren’t just generic guides; they’re practical tools that let you scroll through every area of your operation, from Licence Verification to Grey Fleet and Driver Coaching, to make sure nothing is slipping through the cracks.

Closing the Gaps with DAVIS

We’ve built our platform to act as a single point of truth. Our goal is to make sure that no part of your fleet stays in the dark.

  • Licence Checking: We automate the process with the DVLA, running checks based on the specific risk levels you set.

  • Grey Fleet: We take the pain out of managing employee-owned cars by automatically verifying insurance, MOT, and tax status.

  • Driver Audit & Coaching: We help you identify high-risk drivers and, more importantly, provide the app-based coaching needed to fix the issue before it leads to an accident.

  • Fleet & Pool Vehicles: Centralise everything from document uploading to daily walkaround checks so your paperwork is always audit-ready.

Visibility is the Goal

The reason we’ve built these checklists for 2026 is simple: we want Fleet Managers to move away from reactive “firefighting” and toward total oversight. When your data is centralised and your checks are automated, the “what-ifs” disappear.
