Logistics & Fleet APIs for vehicle compliance & driver verification
From daily fleet compliance monitoring to delivery partner onboarding — Eko gives logistics operators, fleet managers, and motor insurers real-time vehicle and driver verification APIs backed by the national VAHAN database.
The challenge for Logistics & Fleet
India has 12+ million registered commercial vehicles and 5+ million active delivery partners — yet most fleet operators still track RC expiries, DL validity, and insurance renewals in spreadsheets, discovering compliance gaps only when a vehicle is stopped on road. The Motor Vehicles (Amendment) Act 2019 raised penalties significantly — an expired insurance or suspended driver licence now carries fines of ₹2,000–25,000 per incident.
For delivery and logistics platforms, the onboarding challenge compounds the compliance problem: each new driver must be verified for identity, licence validity, and vehicle insurance before they can start earning — a process that takes 2–3 days manually. Eko's Fleet Compliance Pack + Gig Worker Onboarding Pack close both gaps from a single API integration.

Real-world use cases
Daily fleet compliance batch for 10,000 vehicles
Situation: A logistics company with 10,000 commercial vehicles needs to ensure every RC and DL is valid before dispatching vehicles each morning.
Integration: They run a daily batch job via Eko's Vehicle RC + DL Verification APIs — all 10,000 vehicles checked overnight, non-compliant vehicles flagged before dispatch. 30-day expiry alerts configured.
Result: Zero regulatory incidents in 18 months. Insurance renewal costs reduced 12% by proactive renewal vs. lapse-and-reinstate cycle.
3-minute delivery partner onboarding
Situation: A quick-commerce platform needs to onboard 5,000 new delivery partners before a city expansion launch.
Integration: Each partner completes a mobile flow: Aadhaar OTP → PAN verify → DL validation → Vehicle RC + insurance check → bank account penny-drop. Eko runs all steps in parallel.
Result: 4,800 partners onboarded in 48 hours — 6x faster than the previous manual process. DL fraud rate dropped to zero.
Commercial vehicle insurance in 30 seconds
Situation: A motor insurer wants to offer instant commercial vehicle insurance renewal via a B2B API to fleet operators.
Integration: Fleet operator enters registration number → Vehicle & RC Verification auto-fills make/model/engine and confirms owner and previous insurer → DL check → instant renewal quote generated.
Result: Policy issuance time cut from 24 hours to 8 minutes. Drop-off rate on the renewal flow fell 55%.
Permit-zone geofencing for 3-wheelers
Situation: A 3-wheeler logistics operator must ensure vehicles only operate in permit-authorised zones across city boundaries.
Integration: Reverse Geocoding API converts live GPS data to administrative zone codes, checked against each vehicle's permit at every trip start.
Result: Permit violations eliminated — compliance cost from traffic fines reduced 80%.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which database does Eko use for RC and vehicle verification?+
Eko's RC and Vehicle Verification APIs connect to VAHAN 4.0 — the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways' national vehicle registration database with 99%+ coverage for all registered vehicles.
Can I check vehicles registered across multiple states?+
Yes. VAHAN is a national database covering all 36 state RTOs. A single API call fetches data for any registration number regardless of the issuing state.
How fast are real-time vehicle lookups?+
Typically under 2 seconds for RC and vehicle verification. DL verification via Sarathi is usually under 3 seconds. Both are fast enough for trip-start compliance gates.
Does the Gig Worker Onboarding Pack also verify vehicle ownership?+
Yes. RC Verification confirms that the vehicle registration is valid, insured, and that the registered owner matches the gig worker — preventing workers from using unregistered or borrowed vehicles.
