Cigo Tracker vs Tarva

Cigo Tracker is a cloud system for coordinating delivery and service work, including dispatch, route planning, vehicle and stop tracking, and customer communication. Its route optimization uses real-time data, traffic insights, and delivery priorities. Dispatchers and drivers can exchange texts with customers through 2-Way Customer SMS, with conversations linked to delivery jobs. The platform provides live ETAs and tracking, plus proof-of-delivery notifications; proof can include a photo and signature. Its REST API handles delivery job creation and management, data retrieval, webhooks, and event-based notifications. Listed integrations include Oracle NetSuite, STORIS, PioneerRx, Alice POS, TSquared, Informat, Farmigo, PROFITsystems, WooCommerce, BarTender, and Zapier. Cigo says it is SOC 2 Type II compliant and encrypts data in transit and at rest. It serves industries including retail, furniture, logistics, construction, food and beverage, and medical delivery. The service runs on Android, iOS, and web, with API access; the maker describes mobile and desktop access. Pricing is on request, and a 14-day trial is offered without a credit card.

Tarva combines recruitment, scheduling, dispatch, vehicles, pay, and compliance for courier and fleet operations. Managers use its web app on desktop, laptop, or tablet, while team members use the app for schedules, messages, and pay. Published schedules appear in the app, and dispatch shows live team status and operational exceptions. Recruitment follows applicants through screening and onboarding; records hold team details, documents, licences, and right-to-work information. Tarva monitors licences, right to work, MOT, and road tax, with automatic DVLA vehicle checks. Payments include deductions and adjustments and can be exported. Geotab integration supports vehicle tracking, odometer, and fuel or charge-state information. Access can be set by user and module, with logs showing who acted and when. Tarva says it backs up data and monitors uptime. Its privacy policy says data is hosted in the European Union, encrypted in transit, not sold or used for advertising, and not used to track location. Starter is free for up to 15 active team members, one location, and 30 days of activity history. Foundation costs £249/mo, billed plus VAT where applicable.
