Vehicle telematics and tracking (Bridgestone)

Looking for a Webfleet alternative in the UK?

Webfleet, Bridgestone's telematics platform (formerly TomTom Telematics), is about live vehicle data: tracking hardware fitted to each vehicle, real-time location, routing, driver behaviour scoring and tachograph-related integrations. Pricing is per-vehicle subscription, quoted, with hardware supplied and terms typically tied to it.

FleetCompliance is a different category. It doesn't track where vehicles are — it tracks what's legally due on them: MOT, insurance, PMI intervals, LOLER examinations, tacho calibration, driver CPC, medicals. No hardware, nothing fitted, reminders before every deadline and a document trail for DVSA or HSE. Some fleets legitimately run a telematics product and FleetCompliance side by side, because neither does the other's job.

When Webfleet is the better choice

Webfleet is genuinely the better choice if:

  • You need live vehicle location, dispatch and routing.
  • You want driver behaviour and fuel/driving-style data from the vehicle itself.
  • You need tachograph remote download and drive-time data integrated with tracking.
  • Proof-of-attendance, mileage and job workflows matter more to you than compliance deadlines.

When FleetCompliance is the better choice

  • The thing that keeps you up at night is a missed MOT, LOLER or CPC date — a tracker doesn't chase those.
  • You run machinery (forklifts, cranes, MEWPs) with LOLER obligations trackers don't model.
  • You don't want hardware fitted, installation visits or a term tied to devices.
  • You want a published price and a free tier to start on, today.

How switching actually works

Fitted tracking hardware is governed by your Webfleet agreement — check whether units must be returned or deactivated. FleetCompliance adds no hardware, so nothing needs fitting on the way in.

  1. 01

    Check your notice period first

    Before anything else, read your current agreement for the notice period and any auto-renewal date. That date — not ours — sets your switching timeline.

  2. 02

    Sign up free and add your vehicles

    No card needed. Type each registration and the DVLA lookup pulls MOT expiry and tax status automatically. Non-road plant (forklifts, cranes, MEWPs) is added by serial number with its LOLER dates.

  3. 03

    Add drivers and upload documents

    Licence, CPC, DQC and medical dates per driver. Photograph certificates as you go — the scanner reads expiry dates on your own device, so documents never leave your browser.

  4. 04

    Set who gets reminded

    Email reminders go out at 30, 14, 7 and 1 days before each expiry (WhatsApp and SMS on Fleet Pro). Point them at whoever actually books the work.

  5. 05

    Run both systems in parallel until you trust it

    There is no downtime and nothing to install, so nothing forces a hard cut-over. Most operators in our 1–50 vehicle range should budget an afternoon to enter a full fleet, then let the old contract lapse at its renewal date.

Frequently asked questions

Is Webfleet good for small fleets?

For tracking, yes — Webfleet serves plenty of small UK fleets. But be clear about what you're buying: telematics tells you where vehicles are and how they're driven. It is not a compliance register and won't manage LOLER examinations, driver medicals or CPC hours. If compliance is the actual gap, a tracker leaves it open.

How much does Webfleet cost?

Webfleet pricing is quoted per fleet — typically a per-vehicle monthly subscription plus hardware, depending on the package. There's no standard published UK price list, so you'll need a quote. FleetCompliance's pricing is public: free for 1 vehicle, £19/month up to 9, £49/month up to 30 — with no hardware component at all.

How do I switch from Webfleet to FleetCompliance?

They're different categories, so 'switching' usually means adding the compliance layer rather than replacing tracking. Sign up free and enter vehicles by reg — DVLA lookup fills MOT and tax. If you are ending a Webfleet agreement, check the notice period and what your contract says about fitted hardware; tracking units may need deactivating or returning. FleetCompliance itself has nothing to uninstall or install.
