DeliveryLinx vs Tarva

DeliveryLinx is a transportation management system for final-mile and freight contractors that subcontract routes. It parses stop or route files, maps ZIP codes to zones, applies customer and subcontractor rate cards, and produces invoices and vendor bills. An operations board tracks delivery and pickup completion, pending work, and exceptions across territories. Dispatchers can view drivers on a live map, see GPS trails, and spot route diversions. Drivers can capture GPS, photos, and signatures by phone, generating branded proof-of-delivery and pickup documents. A vendor portal tracks subcontractor documents and expiry dates, sends renewal reminders, and can hold payments if required paperwork lapses. Freight tools cover LTL, FTL, linehaul, and heavy-haul loads. The Scale plan includes NetSuite integration for invoice and bill push and AR/AP sync. Web, iOS, and Android platforms are listed, though native driver apps are in beta. Starter costs $269 a month billed annually ($3228/yr); Pro is $479 a month billed annually ($5748/yr); Scale is $779 a month billed annually ($9348/yr). A free trial is available, with no duration stated.

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.
