What TMS Analysis does

TMS Analysis Ltd (legal entity T.M.S. (ANALYSIS) LTD) is a Nottingham-headquartered, founder-owned private company that has operated in UK road transport compliance since 1989. Its core business is web-based tachograph analysis — the automated processing of digital and analogue driver card and vehicle unit data to evidence compliance with EU, AETR, and GB Domestic drivers' hours regulations and the Working Time Directive. The platform, branded Convey, is delivered through a browser-based dashboard, desktop client, and iOS/Android apps for drivers and managers, with single sign-on across modules covering driver performance management, DVLA-integrated licence checking, digital walkaround inspections, fleet maintenance scheduling, driver CPC training management, and a digital driver handbook.

The product surface has expanded materially beyond its original tachograph analysis remit. The company sells proprietary and OEM-compatible hardware devices — Digifobpro (£295), DigiDL-H (£280), Digipostpro (£625–£635), Digidown Plus (£195), DigiVU+ (£185), DigiVU Download Key (£140), and accessories — enabling remote and local download of tachograph data. In December 2025 it added Tracking/Telematics, Vehicle Cameras, Fuel Cards, and EV Charge Cards, moving into adjacencies previously served by separate specialist vendors. The DVSA has approved TMS as an Earned Recognition IT supplier, and DVLA data feeds are embedded in the licence checking module.

The business model is a hybrid of usage-based SaaS, hardware sales, and transaction fees. Tachograph analysis is pay-as-you-go per data upload with no contracts; licence checking and walkaround are similarly usage-based; Driver Performance and Training are bundled free with the core service; hardware is sold outright through an online shop with 41 SKUs; fuel and EV charge cards generate transaction-fee revenue via Shell, Esso, BP, Texaco, Tesco, Morrisons, Sainsbury's, Fuelplus, and BP Pulse. Go-to-market blends self-serve online sign-up (SMB and individual operators) with direct phone/email sales for enterprise fleet customers (DHL, Flogas, Suttons Tankers, Sunbelt, Og-Schenk Tankstransport, Breezemount, NEP UK, Enviroclear Site Services). The company is 11–50 employees, fully bootstrapped with no disclosed external funding, and majority-owned by founders Trevor and Christine White.
