Continuum for drivers

It’s never been easier to share your licence details securely thanks to Continuum’s built-in digital Licence Scan software. It’s secure, simple, fast and accurate and all you need is a smartphone, tablet or a webcam. The technology captures and stores all key data for automatic verification with the DVLA (DVA in Northern Ireland) and also identifies non-UK driving licences. Continuum also makes it easy to upload, share and store key compliance documentation such as insurance documents, MOT certificates and road fund licence details. With complete data security.

Once you’ve done your risk assessment, Continuum will send you short online training modules and videos linked to your personal profile. You can do these on your mobile, a tablet or a desktop so there’s no need to go into an office or take unnecessary time out of your busy day. Drivers can access a new eLearning module every three months with each module taking no more than 15 minutes. Additionally, drivers can get up to one mini video module a month, taking on average two minutes to view. There’s a learning assessment for each eLearning module, which can help improve your risk profile.

Around 85% of roadworthiness fines could have been avoided with a walkaround check. Make sure you don’t drive an illegal vehicle by using the app to carry out walk around checks and instantly submit images of any defects. You can also use it to record damage after a collision. The law can change, so the app also provides handy up-to-date information on the rules in case you’re not sure exactly what to look for, for example the right tyre tread depth. All the data is stored in Continuum.

You can easily prove you’ve met the company policy with a Continuum Permit to Drive. View the criteria in your Continuum dashboard, upload the right documents for verification and carry out any necessary training to keep it up to date. As soon as the conditions are met, Continuum is pre-authorised to grant your permission instantly. There’s no need to wait. The system will remind you if an essential document is coming up for renewal, or you need to carry out some more CPC training. It pays to act on the reminders as Continuum will automatically revoke your permit if something’s overdue.

The Continuum app reduces the admin burden of managing business travel expenses for both drivers and managers. It can track journeys as either work-related or personal making it easier to verify and approve expenses, letting drivers easily submit accurate daily, weekly and monthly expense reports at the press of a button in the app or their web-based dashboard. For managers, this provides enhanced big picture and individual journey and expense management information which improves the robustness of expenses, and the information can also be used to inform vehicle maintenance intervals
