Transpoco is a telematics-first platform built around hardware devices. If your fleet needs transparent flat-rate pricing, phone-first deployment without hardware contracts, and built-in DVSA compliance — FleetGS is worth a serious look.
FleetGS vs Transpoco: side-by-side comparison
Both platforms track vehicles and score driver behaviour. The differences emerge in pricing structure, deployment model, and compliance depth for UK operators.

| Hardware requirement | Hardware-based telematics | Phone, third-party, or FleetGS — your choice |
| Pricing transparency | Per-vehicle, quote-based | Published flat-rate pricing |
| DVSA walkaround checks | Via partner integrations | Native, with photo evidence & audit pack |
| Driver app | iOS / Android | iOS / Android, designed for high driver turnover |
| Driver behaviour scoring | Hardware-derived scoring | App-derived — no hardware needed |
| Job management | Limited dispatch features | Full job dispatch and workflow |
| Operator Licence audit | Configurable reports | One-click export |
| UK support | UK operations | UK-based, UK office hours |
Where Transpoco has an advantage
Transpoco's hardware-centric approach has genuine advantages in specific fleet types. Be honest about whether these apply to your situation before switching.
- Established telematics hardware ecosystem for fleets requiring OBD-level diagnostic data
- Fuel card integration for European cross-border fleets
- Longer track record in Irish and European markets
- Video telematics options via hardware partnerships
FleetGS is the better fit if you…
- Run 10–250 vehicles in the UK, predominantly LCVs
- Want published, transparent pricing without a per-vehicle contract
- Need DVSA walkaround compliance, MOT tracking, and Operator Licence documentation in one place
- Have sub-contractors or owner-driver vehicles that can't have hardware fitted
- Want to onboard new drivers within hours, not weeks
- Need built-in job dispatch and driver timesheet management alongside tracking
Built-in DVSA compliance — not a bolt-on
For UK operators with an Operator Licence or running vehicles over 3.5 tonnes, DVSA compliance is not optional. FleetGS was designed from the ground up around the documentation that DVSA examiners expect: daily walkaround checks with photographic evidence, defect reporting with sign-off timestamps, MOT tracking, and complete driver hours records.
Transpoco's telematics roots mean compliance documentation is typically achieved via reporting add-ons rather than native workflows. For fleets where DVSA compliance is a daily operational requirement — not just a reporting exercise — the FleetGS approach significantly reduces admin overhead and the risk of compliance gaps.
Digital walkaround checks
Drivers complete checks on the mobile app with mandatory photo evidence for defects. Records are timestamped, signed, and stored for DVSA inspection.

Frequently asked questions — FleetGS vs Transpoco
Is FleetGS a suitable replacement for Transpoco?
For most UK fleets in the 10–250 vehicle range, yes. FleetGS covers the core capabilities that mid-size fleets use daily — live GPS tracking, driver app, DVSA-compliant walkaround checks, job management, MOT tracking, driver scoring, and geofencing. If your primary Transpoco use case is telematics data and driver safety, FleetGS covers this natively through the driver mobile app without requiring dedicated hardware installation.
Can I switch from Transpoco without replacing all my hardware?
In many cases, yes. FleetGS supports phone-based tracking via the driver app with no hardware required, plus integration with Teltonika, Geotab, and RAM Tracking units. If your Transpoco hardware cannot be migrated, FleetGS phone tracking lets you switch operationally while hardware is replaced on a normal vehicle refresh cycle — minimising the upfront capital cost of switching.
Is FleetGS cheaper than Transpoco?
For most UK fleets under 100 vehicles, yes. FleetGS pricing is published and flat-rate — from £45/month for up to 10 vehicles, £129/month for up to 40, and £299/month for up to 200 vehicles. Transpoco pricing is typically per-vehicle and contract-based, which can result in significantly higher total costs as your fleet grows. FleetGS has no per-vehicle charges and no minimum seat commitments.
Does FleetGS include the same driver safety scoring as Transpoco?
Yes. FleetGS includes driver behaviour scoring covering harsh braking, harsh acceleration, harsh cornering, speeding, and idling. Scores are presented per driver and per vehicle, with league tables and trend reporting available to fleet managers. Unlike Transpoco's hardware-dependent scoring, FleetGS derives behaviour scores from the driver smartphone app — no device installation required.
How long does migrating from Transpoco to FleetGS take?
Phone-only deployments go live within 24–48 hours. Hardware migration for a 30–50 vehicle fleet typically takes 2–4 weeks depending on installer scheduling. Our UK-based onboarding team assists with data migration, vehicle setup, and driver app rollout at no additional cost.
