Blumac Digital developed a custom Vehicle Management System integrated with the DVLA Vehicle Enquiry Service API for our client. The solution retrieves real-time vehicle data including MOT status, road tax status, CO2 emissions and classification details directly from DVLA records, streamlining fleet compliance and enabling accurate company car tax calculations.
The Challenge
Our client required a comprehensive fleet management solution that could automatically access official DVLA data for each vehicle in their fleet. They needed accurate, up-to-date information on MOT status, road tax, CO2 emissions and vehicle classification to ensure compliance with UK regulations and support company car tax calculations.
