QV Systems integrates DAVIS API to offer online licence checking

QV Systems has integrated the DAVIS API (Application Programming Interface) from Licence Check into its Accelerate SaaS platform to provide its clients with the ability to carry out driver licence checking.

The first client to benefit from the integration is EV charging infrastructure, leasing and Electric Forecourt developer, Gridserve, which is using the application to check the licences of drivers who apply for a test drive experience in one of the electric cars it has available for testing though its leasing arm.

QV Systems operates primarily in the automotive and asset finance arenas and counts several well-known names in fleet, leasing and asset finance, including Zenith Leasing, MotoNovo Finance and Synergy Car Leasing, amongst its 56-strong corporate client base.

Its Accelerate Enterprise cloud-native platform is designed to streamline the lending and leasing process, manage the value chain from start to finish and improve innovation and speed to market for businesses of all size.

The business has grown from a single employee in 2015 to a team of 21 developers, support staff and management today.

Founder and CEO of QV Systems, Daniel Layne, said: “We had been aware of Licence Check for a number of years and its leading position in the licence checking arena. When Gridserve approached us to provide a digital, real-time way of checking driving licences for those drivers who wanted to experience a test drive in an EV, it seemed an obvious solution and the perfect fit for us.

“The DAVIS API offers a comprehensive and impressive array of functionality and the team at Derby were very quick, supportive and helpful, which made the integration very straightforward and a great experience all round.”

He continued: “We have now integrated the DAVIS API within Accelerate to allow all our clients to access the same licence checking service through DAVIS, although the nature of their businesses means that not all will want to take up the option.”

Managing director of Licence Check, Keith Allen, added: “We are delighted that QV Systems has been able to provide access to real-time, digital licence checking for its clients through the DAVIS API, which allows them to access the full licence-checking functionality that DAVIS provides and which is intended to empower businesses to manage occupational road risk from a single platform.

“Those drivers wishing to take part in the Gridserve EV test driving experience will now be able to check the status of their licences through DAVIS and feed them back to Gridserve via the Accelerate platform.”
