AXSystem alternative
An AXSystem alternative for UK operators with a self-employed workforce
An AXSystem alternative is a system of record for UK operators with a self-employed workforce: onboarding, document expiry, a rota and self-billed pay. Zerity is from £6 per active driver per month. AXSystem states a Sunday-to-Saturday rota with wave times and publishes a price of £2.50 per driver per week, only for weeks a driver worked (minimum £99 a month), or £0 to the company with drivers paying £9.99 a week (axsystem.co.uk, checked 14 October 2026).
Zerity in one paragraph
One operating system for compliance and operations across your self-employed workforce.
UK operators running a self-employed or subcontracted workforce across one or more sites.
Zerity runs the rota and self-billed pay as well as the compliance records.
Why operators compare rota and pay tools
Operators compare rota and pay tools when the week still lives in a spreadsheet, right-to-work files sit in email, and Friday's pay run is rebuilt by hand. AXSystem's homepage presents one platform for that week: a Sunday-start rota, compliance expiry alerts, walk-around checks, scorecard upload, chat, and self-bill invoicing. The notes below are from that homepage on 14 October 2026. Confirm the current product on a demo before you treat a row as a contract term.
Where AXSystem is the closer fit
AXSystem states a Sunday-to-Saturday week per depot with wave times and service types, priced from a rate card as you build it. It also states scorecard upload with per-driver trends, in-app depot chat, and an iOS and Android driver app. AXSystem says: "Licences, right to work, DBS and insurance on one board, coloured by days left, with alerts at 30, 14 and 7 days." (axsystem.co.uk, checked 14 October 2026).
Pricing is published: £0 to the company with drivers paying £9.99 a week they work, or £2.50 per driver per week, only for weeks a driver worked, paid by the company, with a £99 monthly minimum. Setup, data import and support are included. The homepage states UK hosting. Its FAQ calls scorecard upload and the DSP document pack Amazon-specific extras, and says the rota, checks, compliance, pay runs, chat and app work for any UK delivery or courier operation.
Where Zerity is the closer fit
Zerity is from £6 per active driver per month for UK operators with a self-employed workforce across one or more sites. Drivers are tagged by depot and by network. The rota software is the people on the week. Zerity does not publish an Amazon 6-day lock.
Onboarding, document expiry and the weekly self-bill sit on the same driver file. Data is AES-256 at rest, TLS in transit, with UK/EU residency. The controls are on security and data residency. AXSystem states company-level data separation, private signed-link files, two-factor sign-in, UK hosting and nightly encrypted off-site backups.
Comparison table
| Question | AXSystem states | Zerity |
|---|---|---|
| Onboarding | Onboarding checklist on the driver's phone, documents and signed agreements on one driver profile. | Driver onboarding software for the documents and the agreement. |
| Right to work | Tracked on the compliance board, with expiry alerts. | Stores the document, the date it was checked and the expiry. |
| Licence record | AXSystem says: "Licences, right to work, DBS and insurance on one board, coloured by days left, with alerts at 30, 14 and 7 days." (axsystem.co.uk, checked 14 October 2026). | Zerity stores the licence record, the date it was checked and the expiry. Track every expiry date in one place. |
| Rota | Sunday-to-Saturday week, wave times, service types. | Depot rota for drivers on file. No published 6-day lock. |
| Amazon schedule | Not stated on the homepage. | No published WST or weekly schedule import. Driver, van and document import with the team. |
| Self-bill | Pay run from the rota, bulk self-bill invoices in the driver app, marked paid. | Self-billing agreements and invoices from completed work. |
| Scorecard and chat | Scorecard upload and in-app chat. | Not the product. Driver recognition is a separate record, not a scorecard parser. |
| Price | £2.50/driver/week, only for weeks a driver worked (min £99/month), or £0 to company with drivers paying £9.99/week. | From £6 per active driver per month, self-serve. |
| Data residency | UK-hosted, UK servers, nightly encrypted backups. | AES-256 at rest, TLS in transit, UK/EU data residency. |
Who should not switch
Do not switch if you are a single-network operation that has already built the week around AXSystem's Sunday-to-Saturday rota and wave times, and you do not need other networks on the same driver file. Stay if scorecard upload and in-app chat are the reason you bought it. Confirm any 6-day rule on their demo; it was not on the homepage on 14 October 2026.
Moving onto Zerity
A move starts by importing drivers and vans, plus the documents you already hold. Self-serve the same week when the pay run is not live. Dated Go-Live for live pay Fridays. A live pay run does not switch over in a day. We do not promise a next-day switch for a live pay run. A free-platform comparison, including live HMRC and DVLA claims, is the Verion alternative.
