Onfleet vs Tarva

Onfleet manages deliveries across in-house fleets and third-party partners. Its tools optimize routes, assign work dynamically, and can dispatch tasks automatically. Teams get real-time GPS visibility of drivers and can record proof of delivery with photos, signatures, and timestamps. Customer-facing features include branded automated notifications, live tracking pages, and two-way driver chat. The Onfleet Driver app provides task details, navigation, communication with dispatchers or customers, and proof-of-delivery capture; it is listed for iPhone, iPad, and Android. The platform also offers API and webhook access, ready-to-use integrations, and a partner marketplace. Onfleet Connect gives shippers and retailers access to courier and delivery providers. Launch costs $619 a month and covers 2,500 pickup or delivery tasks with unlimited users, basic route optimization, and API and webhook access. Scale is $1,349 a month, Enterprise is $3,099 a month, and Courier Suite is $299 a month. A 14-day trial is available; there is no free plan.

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.
