Built for the Road Ahead

Connected software and accountancy for your delivery operation.

Connected through

5 pillars

Built around

1 driver record

A product of

Ratnam & Co

Map of the United Kingdom showing approximate DSP locations

A DSP runs several disconnected systems and loses money in the gaps between them.

Recruitment in one place, compliance in another, scheduling in a third, payroll in a fourth, and nobody can answer how a driver is actually performing.

Job boards

Spreadsheets

WhatsApp

Payroll bureau

Paper checks

Inspection app

SAM Onboarding replaces these disconnected tools with one platform for recruitment, compliance, scheduling, payments and performance. Manage every driver through one record, with less admin and a clear view of your operation.

One record. Five pillars. No exports, no re-entry.

01

Hire

Post once. Every applicant lands as a SAM record.

Post a vacancy from inside SAM and it publishes across integrated job boards while the same role goes to the SAM driver pool of already verified drivers. Applicants arrive directly into a live pipeline.

  • Job board publishing
  • SAM driver pool
  • Applicant pipeline
  • No re-keying
02

Verify

Road-ready in under 9 minutes. Audit-ready forever.

SAM Checks is the verification engine inside SAM 2.0. Right to Work, DVLA licence and VAT, automated and fully audit trailed, with re-check cadence set by you.

  • Right to Work
  • DVLA licence
  • VAT
  • Full audit trail
03

Run

One screen tells you if you are compliant, staffed and moving.

The Dashboard is the helicopter view of the whole operation. Then scheduling, ClearQuote vehicle inspection and damage capture, and vehicle reconciliation so van, driver and route always tie up.

  • Dashboard
  • Scheduling
  • ClearQuote inspections
  • Vehicle reconciliation
04

Pay

The same record that hired them and verified them pays them.

Full in-platform payroll, with payments executed through our Modulr integration. Hours flow from scheduling straight into pay with no export, no reimport and no separate payroll provider.

  • Hours from scheduling
  • Invoice generation
  • Payments via Modulr
  • In-app payslips
05

Perform

SAM does not just run your operation, it tells you how well it is running.

The Performance Tab shows driver and station level performance inside SAM: how the operation is tracking, where retention risk sits, and which drivers and routes are strongest.

  • Driver performance
  • Station performance
  • Retention risk
  • Route strength

Compliance you can produce, not just claim

Every check is timestamped and evidenced against the driver record, so the audit pack is ready before anyone asks for it.

I am writing to highly recommend the services provided by Ratnam. I have been with them for the past five years, and the accountancy and payroll service is the best I have seen by far. Now, the SAM app is making my life even easier.

Ratnam and Co and their SAM platform have really made life easier as a newly launching DSP. Ratnam helped me deal with all the pre-launch paperwork and dealt with HMRC/Companies House on my behalf. When launching, the SAM platform has been invaluable to help with onboarding - it's very intuitive to use, has many helpful features to make scheduling and invoicing very smooth for you and drivers. Imani is great in terms of support - always on hand to help, and generally the team have been super responsive to feedback and are constantly developing the platform. Drivers are also happy with the ease of app use and the offer for accountancy services beyond just invoicing offered by Ratnam and co. Thank you

As a new DSP, using Ratnam’s services has been invaluable. I love that it brings so much together in one place — from driver onboarding, compliance, scheduling, invoicing and elements of fleet management. It means I’m not juggling multiple systems or having information scattered everywhere. The SAM driver app is really user-friendly and everything is really straightforward for our drivers. The team are incredibly supportive, always on hand for questions, responsive to feedback and always open to ideas for improvement. They also go above and beyond their remit with wider DSP knowledge and support.
