OLMC actively seeks, encourages, and requests client feedback. All clients receive a feedback request, and in the rare event that an operator is not fully satisfied with the service, OLMC has a well-documented and robust complaint procedure in place.
We are often approached by operators seeking representation at Public Inquiries, where they risk regulatory action, the potential loss of their Operator’s licence, and the impact on their Directors, Sole Trader entity or Transport Manager’s repute. OLMC understands that this area requires significant legal expertise, which goes beyond the scope of Consultancy. To help prevent future issues, we provide proven systems and processes that can be integrated into and operator organisation, and we work closely with experienced Transport Law Solicitors to prepare documents, ensuring the best possible outcome for the operator at an inquiry.
The Office of the Traffic Commissioners recently announced that they will now only accept digital documents, marking a significant move towards paperless systems in the industry.
This move was envisaged several years ago when OLMC enlisted digital experts in 2020 to create a bespoke IT solution to help operators transition to a paperless compliance management system. The result, OLMC-e Compliance, was launched in 2022, tailored to meet specific requirements for effectively managing operator licence compliance for vehicles and drivers. To ensure full compliance, all records are carefully reviewed by trained OLMC staff before being uploaded to the OLMC-e platform. This system provides operators with secure access to fleet management tools while storing documents as digital records in accordance with DVSA and Traffic Commissioner standards.
