Tarva

Tarva combines recruitment, scheduling, dispatch, vehicle information, pay, and compliance for courier and fleet operations. Managers use its web app on desktop, laptop, or tablet, while team members use the Tarva app for schedules, messages, and pay. Published schedules appear in the app, and dispatch shows live team status and operational exceptions. Recruitment tools track applicants through screening and onboarding, while records hold team details, documents, licences, and right-to-work information. Tarva monitors licences, right to work, MOT, and road tax, with automatic DVLA checks on vehicles. Payments are built from the plan, including deductions and adjustments, and can be exported. Geotab integration supports vehicle tracking, odometer, and fuel or charge-state information. Access is set by user and module, and action logs record who did what and when. Spreadsheet imports use a template and wizard; customers can request an export when leaving. The free Starter plan covers up to 15 active team members, one location, and 30 days of activity history. Foundation costs $249 a month, plus VAT where applicable.

Tarva brings workforce, vehicle, pay, and compliance workflows together for courier and fleet operations, with web access for managers and an app for team members. Compare the plan's active team, location, and history limits with your operation's needs.

Tarva is aimed at courier businesses and fleet operators, including independent operators and 24/7 operations. Its web app serves managers, while team members use the app for schedules, messages, and pay.

Overview

Tarva is an operations platform for courier and fleet businesses that want to coordinate people, vehicles, dispatch and pay in one system. It is strongest for operators who need workforce and compliance workflows alongside dispatch; businesses that require live customer delivery tracking should look elsewhere.

Key features

People and daily operations

Recruitment follows applicants through screening and onboarding, while team records hold documents, licences and right-to-work information. Managers publish schedules to the Tarva app and can see live team status and operational exceptions in dispatch. Keeping these workflows together can reduce administrative handoffs for courier teams, but Tarva is not a customer-facing tracking tool.

Vehicles, compliance and pay

Tarva monitors licences, right to work, MOT and road tax, with automatic DVLA checks on vehicles. Geotab integration adds vehicle tracking, odometer readings and fuel or charge-state data, which is useful for fleets already using that system. Payments are built from the plan, including deductions and adjustments, and can be exported.

Controls and data handling

Access can be assigned by user and module, and an action log records who did what and when. Tarva says it backs up data automatically 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. Spreadsheet imports use a template and wizard, and customers can request an export when leaving.

Pricing

Tarva has a free Starter plan and paid monthly plans, with no minimum contract term or notice period; customers can cancel at any time. Paid prices are billed plus VAT where applicable. Only fully onboarded Active team members count toward a plan limit, and Tarva says it does not charge per driver.

Starter gives small operations a way to begin without a subscription, but its 15-person, single-location cap and 30-day history may constrain a growing team. Foundation raises capacity to 40 while retaining one location; Scale doubles that team limit, adds a second location and extends history. Enterprise is the fit for larger or multi-location operators, though its price is custom.

Platforms

Tarva supports Android, iOS and web. Managers use the web app on desktop, laptop or tablet, while team members use the app for schedules, messages and pay. That division suits teams with office-based managers and mobile staff.

Who it's for

Tarva describes its audience as supplier-neutral courier businesses, including independent operators, and supports 24/7 operations. It is a sensible fit when one system for recruitment, scheduling, dispatch, vehicles, pay and compliance matters more than customer-facing tracking.

Pros and cons

Pros

• Broad operational coverage: recruitment, scheduling, dispatch, vehicles, pay and compliance sit in the same product.
• Flexible paid terms: monthly plans have no minimum commitment or notice period and can be cancelled at any time.
• Driver-cost clarity: only fully onboarded Active team members count toward limits, with no per-driver charge.
• Useful data controls: role-level access, action logs, spreadsheet import and export requests support administration and transition.

Cons

• No live customer tracking: operators who need customers to follow deliveries will need another product or workflow.
• History and location caps: lower plans limit retained activity history and locations, which may not suit larger or distributed operations.
• Enterprise pricing requires a quote: larger fleets cannot assess that tier against a fixed published monthly price.

Alternatives

• nuVizz is another paid option supporting Android, iOS, web and API platforms.

Verdict

Choose Tarva if your courier operation needs workforce, vehicle, pay and compliance workflows tied to scheduling and dispatch, with managers on the web and team members on an app. Its monthly cancellation terms and no-per-driver-charge approach make scaling easier to evaluate, but the plan caps matter and the absence of live customer tracking is a clear reason to choose another solution.
