What does every one of your drivers possess? (And not just a vehicle that you have supplied them, just before you say it…)
A smartphone.
And if loaded with our Driver App you can easily manage your driver, providing them with touch to dial telephone contact services relevant for their particular car:
- Accident Management
- Breakdown Assistance
- Glass replacement
- Service and Maintenance
- 24/7 Driver Helpline
And in doing so, say goodbye to drivers calling you and asking “Who do I call for…?”
The Driver App allows you to benefit from the CBVC Vehicle Management multi-funder approach which enables us to provide you with the best leasing rate on the day from a basket of funders, yet still deliver a consistently excellent service level. On average it can save up to £20 per month per vehicle.

The Driver App pulls all the relevant information into a simply designed dashboard ensuring that each driver has the relevant information particular to their vehicle and the chosen funder of that vehicle.
Look after duty of care, too
In addition, the Driver App also provides a fully digital duty of care Vehicle Inspection function assisting your drivers in spotting faults with their vehicle before they drive off. It provides peace of mind to your drivers and a safety audit trail for your business conforming to Health & Safety Executive (HSE) guidelines that requires an employer, with five or more employees, to record potential hazards that may cause harm when driving on public roads.
We recommend that car drivers complete an audit on a weekly basis, while commercial vehicle drivers should complete a driver audit on a daily basis with vehicle walkarounds.
Once the audit is complete it can be uploaded, along with any photographs highlighting areas of concern while immediately alerting our Fleet team of possible issues.
The app is fully customisable and can be tailored to your fleet, or you can simply use the default settings. Points of issue are raised with you on an exception basis so you will not be overwhelmed by data that requires sorting: the app does that.
James Riordan, Head of Fleet Sales at CBVC Vehicle Management, explains:
“Our Driver App really is fleet management in the driver’s pocket. A considerable amount of the administration associated with that vehicle is on the app’s dashboard along with the relevant emergency contact numbers.
“But in addition it has the valuable Duty of Care function that provides a fully date and time stamped audit trail displaying proper management and care of your driver and vehicle. It’s an invaluable tool.”
What’s even better is that the cost for such management and duty of care is a minimal monthly payment – working out at under 7p per day for customers taking CBVC Fleet Management, which is a lot of added value, all wrapped up in a smartphone app.
