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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
