Derek Beevor, former Army paratrooper and road haulier, set up his company Road Tech Computer Systems in 1984 after becoming frustrated with the lack of software available to help run his 20 vehicle transport company.
Derek solved the problem by combining his first-hand knowledge of the transport industry with the expert programming and design skills of a software developer. Consequently, they created a Transport Management System which they called "Roadrunner". Today, Roadrunner is used by some of the most successful companies in the industry and Road Tech has built a reputation for supplying innovative and reliable market leading software solutions.
Our Mission
To provide commercial vehicle operators with innovative software solutions that ensure compliance, improve operational efficiency and enhance road safety. Through continuous research and development, and by listening to our customers, we understand the evolving needs of the transport industry. As an employee-owned business, we are committed to delivering advanced, integrated solutions backed by the expertise and support our customers need to run their fleets with confidence.
… wealth of knowledge of the transport industry …
Road Tech has grown considerably since 1984, with a dedicated team who between them have a wealth of knowledge of the transport industry, which is one of the many reasons why the company is so successful. With a combination of ongoing investment, innovative and integrated software systems and a drive to exceed customer expectations, the company has attracted thousands of customers across the industry.
In 2004, two years prior to the arrival of the digital tachograph, Derek saw the opportunity for Road Tech to develop a tachograph analysis solution. Tachomaster was launched in 2006 without having a single customer. It quickly took the market by storm being the first tachograph analysis system that offered not just compliance, but internet-based, real-time analysis and reporting. Tachomaster has grown to become the undisputed market leader, having analysed over 300 million card, chart and vehicle downloads by 2025.
In 2018, Road Tech became an Employee Ownership Trust, giving every employee a stake in the company's success and ensuring our commitment to long-term excellence. In 2025, we achieved ISO 27001 certification, the international standard for information security management systems, demonstrating our dedication to protecting customer data and maintaining the highest security standards.
Today, we have five integrated market-leading systems: Tachomaster, Roadrunner, DOT Tracking, Checkmaster, and PreDrive. We are not a company to sit back on our laurels and whilst you are reading this we continue to develop new and innovative software solutions that will save your company both time and money.
Road Tech has its head office based at Shenley Hall in Hertfordshire.
