Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between Silver and Bronze?
Bronze stores and structures your evidence — Silver actively manages it. With Silver, your compliance evidence is managed against best practice standards, gaps are identified and flagged, you get a forward maintenance planner, automated alerts, monthly summaries, and enhanced quarterly reports. Bronze signposts TC letters — Silver handles them. Bronze covers 5 risks — Silver covers 7.
How many vehicles are included in £325/mo?
Up to 4 vehicles are included in the base price. Additional vehicles are £30/month each. All prices are exclusive of VAT. There's no lock-in — it's a monthly agreement you can cancel anytime.
What does "active compliance management" actually mean?
It means your evidence isn't just stored — it's continuously managed against the standards the Traffic Commissioner applies at hearing. We proactively identify compliance gaps, flag missing or expiring evidence, send automated alerts, and provide monthly management summaries so you always know your compliance position. Bronze gives you the evidence vault — Silver gives you the management layer on top.
What happens if I get a letter from the Traffic Commissioner?
At Silver level, TC correspondence is handled — not just signposted. Your letter is triaged, assessed, and you receive professional compliance guidance on how to respond. This is a significant upgrade from Bronze where TC letters are signposted only. For full PI defence and representation, Gold tier includes PI-readiness and one-click PI packs.
What is the forward maintenance planner?
The forward maintenance planner structures and tracks your fleet's PMI schedule, inspections, and maintenance events. You get planned maintenance windows, upcoming deadline alerts, and a clear forward view of what's due and when. It's one of the key reasons operators choose Silver — missed maintenance is one of the fastest routes to prohibition and enforcement action.
What's included in the monthly compliance summary?
Your monthly summary covers: your current compliance position across all areas (vehicles, drivers, operator records), outstanding items requiring attention, upcoming deadlines and renewals, risk areas and compliance health indicators, and recommended actions. It's designed to give you — and your Transport Manager — a clear, actionable overview every month.
Is the helpline support different from Bronze?
Yes. Bronze includes a compliance helpline with 2 queries per month (10 minutes each). Silver provides extended helpline access with priority response — you get more access, faster responses, and direct access to qualified Transport Managers when you need guidance.
Can I upgrade to Gold later?
Yes. You can upgrade from Silver to Gold at any time — your existing evidence, compliance history, and vault structure carry forward. Gold adds DVSA response support, licence amendments, External TM oversight, PI-readiness, PMI & brake test analysis, branded toolbox talks, and a dedicated client manager. At 8 vehicles, the step from Silver to Gold is £270/month extra.
Why is Silver the most popular tier?
Because most operators need more than evidence storage but don't yet need the full Gold suite. Silver covers 7 of 10 compliance risks, provides active management that keeps your operation audit-ready, and includes the forward maintenance planner and automated alerts that prevent problems before they start. For 5–20 vehicle operators, it's the sweet spot between cost and protection.
What's the PI preparation rate for Silver clients?
Silver clients benefit from a reduced PI preparation rate of £2,500 — compared to £4,500 for non-clients. That's a £2,000 saving, which alone is more than 6 months of Audit Guardian. Your compliance management pays for itself if you ever face a Public Inquiry. Gold clients receive an even lower rate of £1,500.
