How SAM Works
SAM streamlines every stage of the driver journey — from onboarding to training, document checks to payroll, compliance to performance tracking — all in one simple platform.
Faster Onboarding
SAM enables fast onboarding by adding a driver in less than 9 seconds and completing the process in under 9 minutes.
OCR Technology
SAM features built-in OCR technology to automatically extract and validate key details from driving licences, passports and right-to-work documents.

SAM automatically verifies driving licences (entitlements, points, disqualifications) and Right to Work status. Both checks can be scheduled weekly or monthly for full compliance.
About Us
SAM Onboarding was born from a vision to make complex business operations simpler. Founded by Gopin Ratnam, Director of Ratnam & Co., a UK accountancy firm with over 40 years of experience, SAM draws on decades of expertise in payroll, tax and financial strategy. Designed for fast-moving industries like last-mile delivery, SAM helps businesses navigate compliance, onboarding and growth with confidence and clarity.
While working with last-mile delivery companies, Gopin Ratnam experienced first-hand the challenges they faced. Instead of accepting the status quo, he set out to create something better.
Within 6 months, he founded SAM to bridge the gap between operational needs and compliance requirements. The platform launched as a game-changing solution, empowering companies to seamlessly manage drivers while staying ahead of regulatory demands.
By addressing real pain points, SAM gives managers the clarity they need and turns complex, time-consuming processes into simple, practical and manageable tasks.

Working with SAM has been nothing short of exceptional. They go above and beyond to ensure my compliance is always in line with business requirements, giving me complete peace of mind. What I value most is how personal the service feels whether it’s connecting me with a mortgage advisor, helping me manage my accounts, or simply being at the other end of the phone whenever I need them. Even if I call while they’re on holiday, they take the time to support me, which fills me with confidence that my business is in the best possible hands. Their professionalism, guidance, and genuine care make them stand out. They don’t just support me as a client, they support me as a person.
