Transport management technology specialist Mandata’s Tacho Now digital tachograph downloading service now works with TruTac’s TruAnalysis software and compliance products.
That enables tachograph data to be downloaded by Mandata and automatically sent on regular schedules to third-party vendors for analysis and compliance reporting.
Doing so provides efficiencies and savings for operators because the process is fully automatic, removing the need for manual downloading and exporting of driver and vehicle data.
The new capability will be an integral part of Tacho Now. It enables driver data to be collected automatically from tachograph units on a daily basis, and weekly from vehicle units.
As a result, the burden of having to continually arrange manual data downloading when drivers and vehicles are away from base is reduced, saving considerable administration time and cost. Additionally, the risk of information being lost and of gaps in records developing is removed.
Furthermore, one-off or ad-hoc downloads can be performed by the operator via a secure web portal when required.
An automated warning is flashed if a vehicle’s 90-day or a driver’s 28-day limit for downloading is approaching.
