Easier for the driver
- Nothing to install. Scan the QR code in the cab and the check opens in the phone browser.
- No password. Drivers sign in with a six digit PIN. No email, no reset links, no forgotten logins at 6am.
- The right check, automatically. The QR code opens the check for that exact vehicle, so there is no list to scroll and no wrong vehicle.
- One tap per section. "Yes, all checked and OK", or "Something is not right". A clean vehicle takes about a minute.
- Reporting is quick. Describe the fault, add an optional photo from the camera or gallery and carry on.
- Works with no signal. The check saves on the phone and sends when it reconnects.
- Drivers see their own last seven days. No chasing the office for what they did.
Easier for the office
- Five minute setup. Add vehicles, add drivers, print QR stickers. No training course.
- One screen for today. Who has checked, who has not, and what is broken.
- Defects come to you. Email alert with the photo, then assign, fix and close.
- Find any record. Search by vehicle, driver and date, open the full check and download a PDF.
- Your checklists. Different checks for different vehicles, with tick, number and photo items.
- Reminders built in. MOT, tax and service dates, emailed before they run out.
Easier on the budget
- £1 per vehicle per week. One price, every feature.
- Unlimited drivers and office users. Nobody is charged for logging in.
- No contract and no set-up fee.
- 30 days free, with no card to enter.
- Export or delete all your data yourself.

The right column is a general description of what buyers often report, not a claim about any one company. Always compare current prices and terms yourself.
Honest limits
Kovi does one job: daily checks and defects. It is not a full fleet management suite with tracking, fuel cards or tachograph analysis. If you need that, Kovi sits alongside it happily, and many small fleets do not need it at all.
Questions
Is Kovi really simpler?
Try it for 30 days with no card and judge for yourself. Set up one vehicle and one driver and do a check. It takes a few minutes.
Why a PIN instead of a password?
Drivers forget passwords and share phones. A PIN set by the office is quick, and the office can switch it off the moment a driver leaves.
