What Convey Technology does

Convey Technology Limited is a UK-based software company that provides compliance management solutions for commercial transport operators. Founded in 2016 by Steve Fisher, who previously founded Exentra (developer of the Smartanalysis tachograph platform acquired by Descartes Systems in 2012), the company is headquartered in Swindon with a second office being established in Coventry. The platform serves operators of HGVs, PSV/PCV buses and coaches, and LCVs above 3.5 tonnes who must comply with UK DVSA regulations. Convey is one of a small number of DVSA Earned Recognition Approved IT Suppliers able to deliver both the driver and vehicle maintenance systems on a single platform, and counts Turners of Soham (2,000+ HGVs), Bibby Distribution (500+ vehicles across 50+ sites), Bishopsgate Logistics, SSO Logistics and Grange Travel among its named customers.

The product is a modular, web-based compliance platform built on Microsoft Azure, with a single shared database and single sign-on architecture enabling real-time data synchronisation across modules. The Tachograph module serves as the core product, bundled with the Performance module; add-on modules cover Fleet Management, Walkaround checks, Workshop management, DVLA Licence Check, Training, electronic Handbook distribution, GPS Tracking, Remote Tachograph Download, and DVSA Earned Recognition reporting. Mobile applications serve drivers and managers in the field, replacing paper-based defect reports, driver handbooks, and daily vehicle checks. The company also sells a hardware and consumables line including digital tachograph printer rolls, LGV/PCV/Van defect report pads, drug and alcohol saliva testing kits, driver record books, and vehicle height indicators.

Convey generates revenue through annual SaaS subscriptions priced on a per-driver-day basis, supplemented by professional services for enterprise implementations and direct hardware/consumables sales. The go-to-market is sales-led: direct enterprise field sales for large fleets, inside sales for mid-market accounts, and a reseller channel (including Hummingbird Logistic Services and TMS Analysis) for smaller operators. Distribution is supported by content marketing, industry events (notably the CILT Transport & Logistics Safety Forum), webinars, and partnerships with The Driver Handbook and Flagship Partners. In November 2025, Convey secured a strategic minority investment of up to £25 million from Tresmares Capital to fund platform development and explore selective acquisitions in the UK fleet compliance software sector.
