Centralized Policy Library

One Source of Truth for All Company Policies

Upload your safety policies and operational procedures into a single digital library accessible from web portal and mobile app. Hubfleet gives your fleet a purpose-built document management system for transport compliance.
The Problem We Solve:
Safety procedures live in SharePoint, shared drives, email attachments, and filing cabinets. Nobody knows which version is current. Staff acknowledge policies on paper forms that get lost. Auditors ask for evidence of reviews and you're scrambling to prove policies are up to date.
With Hubfleet:
Every policy has one current version with a clear owner, review schedule, and approval status. Old versions are archived but accessible. Staff acknowledge digitally with timestamps. Auditors can see your entire policy management process in minutes.
Key Benefits:
  • Upload policy PDFs into a centralized digital library
  • Organize by configurable categories (Safety, Maintenance, HR, Operations)
  • Search and filter by policy type, status, or category
  • Access from web portal or mobile app
  • Complete version history preserved forever
HVNL reforms Compliance:
Policy management demonstrates systematic leadership and governance required under SMS Standard 1 (Leadership & Commitment) and provides documented safety systems required under Standard 5.
Approval Workflows

Digital Approval Chain with Full Accountability

Route new and updated policies through designated approvers before they go live. Every approval and denial is recorded with timestamps and comments.
The Problem We Solve:
Policies get written but never formally reviewed. You don't know who approved what or when. Changes happen without sign-off. There's no record of who was responsible for policy decisions. During audits, you can't prove policies were properly authorized.
With Hubfleet:
Create a policy in draft, assign an approver, and submit for review. The approver receives a notification and can approve or deny with comments. Approved policies become active automatically. Denied policies return to draft for revision. Every decision is timestamped and recorded.
Clear Accountability:
Designate specific staff members as approvers. Track who approved what and when. Document reasons for denials. Complete approval history stored with every policy.
Flexible Workflow:
Self-approve for simple updates or route through management for critical policies. Approvers can provide feedback before formal approval. Revision history tracks all changes from draft to active.
Scheduled Reviews & Currency

Never Let Policies Go Stale

Set review frequencies (annually, semi-annually, quarterly) and receive automatic reminders when policies are due for review.
The Problem We Solve:
Policies haven't been reviewed in years. Auditors find outdated information. You have no systematic process to keep policies current. Staff are working from procedures that no longer reflect reality.
With Hubfleet:
Assign a review frequency to each policy (12 months, 6 months, 3 months, or as needed). The system calculates the next review date and reminds the policy owner when it's due. Complete a review in seconds to confirm the policy is still current, or replace it with an updated version.
Smart Review Process:
Confirm a policy is current without requiring staff to re-acknowledge it. Add review comments to document what was checked. Override automatic review dates when circumstances change.
Version Control & Replacement

Replace Policies While Preserving History

When policies need updating, replace them with new versions. The old version is automatically archived with its complete history, and acknowledgements reset for the new version.
The Problem We Solve:
Updated policies overwrite old files. You lose track of what changed and when. Staff don't know a policy has been updated. You can't prove what the policy said at a specific point in time. Warranty or legal disputes require showing historical policies.
With Hubfleet:
Click replace, upload the new policy PDF, and the system archives the current version while creating the new one. All metadata (category, approver, review frequency) carries forward. Acknowledgements reset so staff are prompted to review the updated policy.
Complete History:
Access all archived versions of a policy with their effective dates. View who replaced what and when. Track changes over time. Demonstrate policy evolution during audits.
Acknowledgement Tracking

Prove Everyone Has Read and Acknowledged Critical Policies

Track who has acknowledged each policy with role-based targeting and automated mobile prompts.
The Problem We Solve:
Paper acknowledgement forms get lost or never completed. You can't prove staff have read updated policies. Chasing signatures wastes time. Auditors ask for evidence of acknowledgements and you have nothing.
With Hubfleet:
Assign policies to specific roles (all drivers, all managers, mechanics only). Staff receive notifications on mobile and web. They acknowledge with a tap and timestamp. You see real-time acknowledgement status for every person and policy.
Role-Based Targeting:
Assign policies to roles instead of individuals. When new staff join that role, they're automatically prompted to acknowledge relevant policies. No manual lists to maintain.
Automated Reminders:
Staff receive notifications for unacknowledged policies. Track acknowledgement progress by person, role, or policy.
Filter by acknowledgement status (pending, acknowledged, overdue) to view compliance at a glance.
Categories & Organization

Organize Policies the Way Your Business Works

Create custom categories to organize policies (Safety, Maintenance, HR, Operations, Environmental). Filter and search by category to find relevant policies quickly.
Configurable Structure:
Set default categories or create your own. Assign multiple categories to a single policy if needed. Change category names and updates flow throughout the system.
Easy Discovery:
Staff can filter policies by category to find what they need. Search by policy name or type. Mobile app shows policies organized by category for quick access.
Complete Audit Trail

Every Action Logged for Compliance Evidence

Hubfleet automatically records every policy action: creation, approval, denial, review, replacement, archival, acknowledgement. Nothing can be deleted or edited after the fact.
What's Included:
  • Who created, approved, or denied the policy
  • When reviews were completed and by whom
  • Review comments and frequency changes
  • Replacement history with effective dates
  • Archive events with reasons
  • All acknowledgements by person and timestamp
Immutable Record:
History entries cannot be edited or deleted. Provides reliable evidence for audits, investigations, and legal proceedings.
Audit-Ready Reports:
View policy compliance status including current policies, review status, acknowledgement rates, and approval history. Demonstrate systematic policy management process.

Mobile & Web Access

Staff use mobile app:
View policies assigned to their role, acknowledge new or updated policies, access archived versions, receive push notifications for pending acknowledgements.
Managers use web portal:
Create and upload policies, manage approval workflows, track acknowledgement progress, conduct scheduled reviews, view compliance status.
Seamless Sync:
Policy updates on web trigger notifications to mobile. Acknowledgements from mobile update instantly on web. One system, real-time tracking.

Integration with Safety Management

Fleet policy management isn't standalone—it's integrated with your complete Safety Management System.

Policies
Blue refresh icon with two circular arrows forming a loop.
Risk Controls
Blue refresh icon with two circular arrows forming a loop.
Everything Else
Policies link directly to risk controls, and those controls connect to incidents, hazards, NCRs, and other safety events. This creates a traceable chain from your documented policies through to implementation and real-world outcomes.
How It Works:
  • Policy to Control: Link a Speed Management Policy to a "GPS speed monitoring" control
  • Control to Events: That control then links to speeding incidents, hazards, or NCRs where speed was a factor
  • Evidence Chain: Auditors can see policy → control → implementation → outcomes in one connected system
  • Setup Playbook: See How to Build Your SMS in Hubfleet for the step-by-step build path — policies and procedures are Steps 5 and 6

Frequently asked questions

Can we import existing policies from SharePoint or shared drives?
Yes. We'll help you migrate existing policy PDFs into Hubfleet with proper categorization and metadata.
What happens to acknowledgements when we replace a policy?  
Acknowledgements for the old version are preserved in history. The new policy resets acknowledgements to zero, prompting staff to review the updated version.
Can we have different approval workflows for different policy types?  
Yes. You assign a designated approver to each policy individually, allowing different approval chains for different policy types or departments.
How do drivers acknowledge policies on mobile?  
Drivers receive push notifications for unacknowledged policies. They tap the notification, view the policy PDF, and acknowledge with a single tap. All recorded with timestamp.
What if a policy doesn't need formal approval?  
You can assign yourself as the approver and self-approve immediately. The approval workflow is flexible to match your business needs.
