14 March 2026 – Jaama, the UK’s leading fleet management software specialist, has published its Fleet Compliance and Cost Benchmark Report, offering valuable insights into the current state of the UK fleet industry.
The report provides a detailed analysis of compliance maturity, operational resilience, and cost efficiency across the sector. The findings point to significant challenges, including tighter regulations around sustainability and safety, as well as the increasing cost of keeping up with reporting.
Key findings from the industry survey:
The report highlights the growing importance of compliance as the backbone of effective fleet management, with fleet leaders given the impossible task of doing more with less, while maintaining compliance, controlling costs, and managing risks.
While 72% of fleets have integrated fuel card data and HR/driver records, only 34% use automated alerts for missing or incorrect data. This gap represents a hidden cost for the industry: fleets relying on manual oversight are not only exposing themselves to compliance risks but also experiencing unnecessary administrative expenses.
The research indicates a widening gap between operators who view compliance as a strategic advantage and those treating it as a regulatory burden. Fleets that have invested in automation and integrated systems are reporting measurably better cost control and operational resilience.
To help operators assess their current position, Jaama has developed a digital Fleet Compliance Scorecard, a 10-question self-assessment tool that benchmarks compliance maturity and provides tailored recommendations for improvement.
Richard Evans, Sales Director at Jaama, said: “Compliance is no longer a nice-to-have; it’s a commercial strategy. Our research clearly shows that fleets investing in automation, integration and proactive risk management are gaining a measurable advantage in cost control and resilience.
“As regulatory pressure intensifies and margins tighten, operators that continue to rely on manual processes risk falling behind. The opportunity for 2026 and beyond is to treat compliance as a performance driver, not just an obligation.”
