Fleetbase vs Tarva

Fleetbase is a modular, open-source logistics operating system covering fleet management, commerce, warehousing, finance and driver apps. Fleet-Ops handles dispatch, live fleet tracking, configurable workflows and route optimization. Other modules include Storefront, Pallet, Ledger, Navigator, identity and access management, developer tools and extensions. Fleetbase says the modules share data, allowing a Storefront order to feed into a dispatch and a Ledger journal entry. Developers can use API keys, webhooks, socket events, request logs, and sandbox and live environments. Listed integrations include Twilio, SendGrid, Slack, SAP, QuickBooks, Oracle, Tableau, Power BI, Stripe, AWS, Google Cloud and Azure. Navigator is an open-source driver app with turn-by-turn navigation, proof of delivery, fault reporting and live order communication. Fleetbase Cloud costs $29 a month, plus $5.00 per month for each driver and vehicle and for each storefront beyond the first; some usage is metered. The software is available on Android, iOS, web, API and self-hosted deployments.

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.
