Tarva review
A workforce-first courier platform with compliance, dispatch and fleet controls.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Tarva is workforce and fleet management software for courier businesses, with a particular focus on UK operations and compliance. Managers use a web app on desktop, laptop or tablet, while drivers and other team members use the Tarva app for schedules, messages and pay. The platform brings recruitment and onboarding, team records, dispatch, payments, vehicle information, compliance checks, incident records and audit trails into one operating environment. It suits delivery companies that need structured workforce administration alongside day-to-day fleet coordination.
Pricing follows a freemium model, with a free option and published paid plans beginning at £249 per month on monthly billing. The Starter plan supports an active team of up to 15 at 1 location with 30 days of activity history. Foundation is listed at £249 per month and supports up to 40 active team members at 1 location with 60 days of history. Scale extends the published allowances to up to 80 active team members, 2 locations and 90 days of history, while Enterprise offers bespoke team capacity, multiple locations and 365 days of activity history. The plan structure is therefore tied to workforce size, locations and record retention.
Tarva’s strongest fit is operational control rather than the complete customer delivery journey. Scheduling and dispatch include live team status, and in-app two-way messaging supports coordination. Payments, deductions and adjustments add workforce administration, while vehicle telematics and Geotab integration connect fleet activity with compliance workflows. Automatic MOT and road-tax checks, evidence-backed incident recording, role-based access and audit trails support controlled operations. Companies prioritising customer-facing live tracking or proof of delivery should choose a platform built around those capabilities instead; Tarva is better suited to courier operators whose main need is workforce, fleet and compliance management.
