Bonnet is a fleet compliance platform designed to tackle the challenges fleet operators face with manual vehicle compliance, often relying on outdated spreadsheets. By integrating directly with government databases like the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA), Bonnet automates compliance tasks for Warrant of Fitness (WOF), Certificate of Fitness (COF), Registration (REGO), and Road User Charges (RUCs). This reduces the risk of non-compliance, voided insurance, and unsafe vehicles, offering fleet managers a streamlined, reliable solution.

With a subscription-based revenue model, Bonnet serves various customer segments, from individual vehicle owners to large enterprises. Workshops and service centres can also leverage Bonnet as a CRM tool to manage vehicle maintenance and compliance needs.

Bonnet significantly cuts costs for fleet operators, who typically spend around $8,500 annually to manage compliance for a fleet of 20 vehicles. By reducing this expense to under $2,000, it provides exceptional value, driving rapid customer adoption.

Already trusted by major brands like Mainfreight, St John’s, Hirepool, NZ Police, and NZ Build Group, Bonnet quickly became the most downloaded app in New Zealand after its March 2023 launch. Founded by automotive industry veteran Steph Kennard, Bonnet is revolutionising fleet management by addressing critical market gaps she identified during her time at Fiat Chrysler.

Currently 100% bootstrapped, Bonnet’s pre-seed capital raise is led by FKA, funding the development of new features like GPS tracking, customisable driver checklists, and supporting expansion into the UK market.
