A logistics fleet operating across multiple corridors had no way to check road penalties for all its vehicles at once — only slow, manual, one-by-one lookups on a government portal with inconsistent result formats and no record-keeping.
Fleet Watch is a private dashboard that checks every vehicle in a fleet against a government portal automatically, daily or on demand — interacting with the site the way a person would, since it offers no other way in. It handles both result formats the portal returns, retries automatically on transient errors, and skips vehicles already confirmed clean or fined within a set window while always retrying failures. Multiple vehicles are checked concurrently through reused sessions with deliberate pacing to avoid overloading the source. Built around real fleet management — bulk CSV onboarding with duplicate protection, manual add/remove, a sortable access-controlled view — and deployed on the client's own infrastructure at no added cost.
A fleet that previously required manual, one-by-one lookups now checks itself daily without anyone visiting the government site at all. Every vehicle's fine status, last-checked time, and full offence breakdown is visible in one place, refreshable on demand or left to run overnight. The reliability logic was built and tuned against the real, sometimes-flaky behavior of a live government system — including a server that returns errors under load and occasionally blocks automated traffic outright — so the system degrades gracefully instead of failing silently when the source itself is having a bad day.
