Why operators look for a Verion alternative
Operators look for a Verion alternative after they have seen the free offer and want a number they can put in a budget. Verion's homepage describes free operations software for UK delivery operators: onboarding, a document vault, a driver app, self-billed invoices and an export to Xero. Treat the dashboard illustrations as product screens, not as published results.
Comparison
| Question | From Verion's public pages (summary) | Zerity |
|---|---|---|
| Onboarding | Paperless, from a phone, in as little as 14 minutes. Workflows can differ by contract, including Amazon, Evri and Yodel, on the onboarding page. | Driver onboarding software collects documents and the agreement onto one driver record. |
| Right to work | "Drivers upload documents, complete right-to-work checks…" (verion.co.uk, checked 14 October 2026) | Zerity records the right-to-work evidence, the date it was reviewed and the follow-up date. The prescribed check, and the decision, stay with the operator. |
| Licence and policy expiry | See "What Verion says" above. | Zerity stores the licence record, the date it was checked and the expiry. Track every expiry date in one place. |
| Self-bill | Self-billed invoices, with export to Xero. The payments section also names QuickBooks. | Courier self-billing software stores the agreement and raises the invoice from completed work. |
| Vehicle inspections | Driver app checks, plus an AI damage model on photos. | Mobile vehicle inspections and expiry dates for MOT, tax and insurance. Not a damage-detection model. |
| Price | Verion's onboarding page says: "There is no per-seat, per-driver, per-vehicle or per-contract fee for the operator side, ever." (verion.co.uk/onboarding, checked 14 October 2026) | From £6 per active driver per month. |
| Where data is held | Not stated on the homepage or onboarding page we read. | AES-256 at rest, TLS in transit, UK/EU data residency. See security. |
Zerity stores the licence record, the date it was checked and the expiry. Right-to-work evidence on file sits on the same driver record. Zerity also runs the rota and self-billed pay, and one account covers every site you run.
Who should stay with Verion

Who should choose Zerity
Choose Zerity if you want a priced system of record across more than one network, with drivers tagged by depot and network, and a dated Go-Live for the pay run. The self-serve platform is from £6 per active driver per month. UK operators with a self-employed workforce use Zerity across one or more sites. Zerity runs the rota and self-billed pay as well as the compliance records.
Subcontractor files, rather than a single-network stack, are set out on subcontractor driver management software. A rota-led comparison is the AXSystem alternative.
Moving
Driver and document import is part of a move. Self-serve the same week for a small fleet when the pay run is not already live. A live pay run does not switch over in a day. Dated Go-Live for live pay Fridays. We do not promise a next-day switch for a live pay run.
