Straight answers, no fluff.

Sentinel Fleet is a UK-built fleet compliance and risk-management platform. It captures walkaround checks, defect reports, driver risk scores, and audit evidence — and presents it back to you in a way that DVSA examiners and insurance underwriters actually want to see.

UK fleet operators running anywhere from 5 to 500+ vehicles. Vans, HGVs, mixed fleets, last-mile delivery, plant, and trade fleets. If your insurer or the DVSA cares whether you do walkaround checks properly, this is for you.

Sentinel Fleet was built by a working logistics manager who got tired of paper checklists and undated WhatsApp photos failing audits. It is owned and operated by Sentury Developments Ltd, registered in England and Wales.

That's the whole point. Every walkaround check is timestamped, geotagged, and tied to a named driver and vehicle. Defects are tracked from raise to resolution. Audit evidence is exportable as a tidy PDF a DVSA examiner can read in minutes. For the long version, see our DVSA audit checklist.

Sentinel Fleet provides the daily-walkaround-check evidence and defect-rectification trail required under your O-licence undertakings. Final responsibility sits with your transport manager, but the system gives them everything they need to demonstrate competent control.

Many of our customers have used the audit evidence and risk-scoring exports as part of their renewal pack and seen reduced or held premiums in a market where most fleets are taking 10–20% hikes. We don't promise a number — we give you the data your underwriter wants to see.

Around 90 seconds for a standard van check on the driver's phone. Photos for any flagged defects, automatic timestamps, GPS location, and a digital signature — done.

Yes. The check runs in any modern mobile browser — no app store install required — and there's a Progressive Web App option for drivers who want it on their home screen.

Vehicle lockout (optional) prevents the driver from starting their shift in the system until the check is completed. Defects flagged as critical can require manager sign-off before the vehicle is released.

You can add temporary drivers in seconds and remove them just as fast. Agency drivers carry their risk score with them across renewals if they sign in with the same email.

Yes. We support direct integrations with the major UK telematics providers and have an open API for anything else. Compliance data and telematics together give you a much richer driver-risk picture than either alone — see this article for more.

Yes. CSV import for vehicles and drivers, or we'll do it for you during onboarding. DVLA lookups auto-fill vehicle details from the registration plate.

A read/write REST API is available on Pro and Enterprise plans, with webhooks for key events (defect raised, check completed, risk score changed).

Within the UK and EEA. Encrypted at rest and in transit. See our Privacy Policy for the full picture.

Yes. We act as a controller for your account data and a processor for the operational fleet data you upload. See our GDPR Statement.
