Nominated for three categories at Business Car Awards 2022 – a fantastic achievement in itself – Licence Link is proud to be awarded Highly Commended for Best Fleet Software!

Finalists were selected for their commitment to keeping fleets running smoothly, and helping businesses stay on top of what’s important. Licence Link’s fast, secure and contactless licence checking solution supports businesses in every sector to ensure driver compliance. The system features a range of digital tools to streamline the process, including:

Real-Time Checking

With Licence Link, HR and Fleet Managers can efficiently keep track of every employee, ensuring they’re fit to drive and hold a valid licence. New points or endorsements can be quickly identified and appropriate action taken, preventing the employer from facing costly consequences – from invalidated insurance to legal action.

Automated Alerts

Drivers often fail to disclose licence changes to their employers, so it’s essential that businesses are prepared. The automated alerts system in Licence Link reduces the time and responsibility involved in manually managing drivers. Employers can schedule checks – automating the frequency based on driver type. Licence Link advises their customers to check low-risk drivers (less than 6 points) bi-annually as a minimum, and higher-risk drivers more frequently. Employers can flexibly manage thousands of driver checks each year, preventing missed checks and saving hours.

Reliance Buses Ltd – Kieran McDonnell, Safety Officer explains –

“The process is automated with minimal input required. The security of knowing the system is checking licences in the background at agreed times and warning you of issues well in advance is a great relief, especially as companies have many compliance demands on them!”

Total Visibility – Reporting

With multi-branch reporting in Licence Link, Fleet Managers can monitor driver records across single sites or multiple branches. This provides complete visibility. Licence Link contains a full audit trail, significantly more effective and reliable than processing driver records manually. There’s no excuse for non-compliance.

Electronic Approvals

Licence Link has transformed business processes, supporting fleets to maintain their Duty of Care responsibility. The introduction of eDeclarations was a prime example.

Senior Driver Development Officer at The Kings Ferry (Part of National Express) explains –

“Prior to using Licence Link, we ran all licence checks by taking a photocopy of the driver’s licence and then sending it to the DVLA for the check to take place. We would get back a paper copy of the check, and manually enter all data onto a spreadsheet.

Those days are long gone, with the ease to check drivers even at the interview stage. It’s simple to complete records, all taken care of with the web-based system. Licence Link makes life so easy to stay legal, check drivers and get results. This system lets you control it and feel safe in the knowledge that you are compliant.”

Melvin Jeffers, Head of Licence Link summarises –

“By making the process as frictionless and intuitive as possible, we’ve encouraged customers to take compliance more seriously. They’ve been able to increase the frequency of checks without tripling their workload or directly impacting the safety of other road users – identifying high-risk drivers before they’re sent out on the job.

We are very proud to have received the Highly Commended award and would like to thank the team at Business Car for a fantastic evening!”
