Tachograph data: The key tool to manage your fleet

Tachograph data is essential for efficient fleet management and can save your company time and money.

Most fleet managers recognize that tachograph data is at the heart of their fleet management. Moreover, they know that having access to this type of data is critical to avoid penalties and to facilitate daily procedures.

The tachograph collects drivers' driving and rest times, allowing fleet managers to closely monitor their drivers' activities and identify any action that could lead to non-compliance. It also provides reports informing of infractions committed before sanctions are imposed, allowing fleet managers or drivers to correct them rapidly.

Take a look at some types of tachograph data that can represent a valuable tool for managing your fleet:
 

Driving and training reports

Tachograph software generates reports for each operator and details the infractions made, allowing you to avoid driver infractions due to a lack of legal knowledge or mistakes in manual entries. Therefore, these reports are valuable because they enable you to promptly communicate infractions to drivers and find faster ways to solve them. 
 

Driving times recording /Time recording

The tachograph allows you to collect data from drivers' workdays, such as driving, working, and rest times. It then generates a driver activity report with all the collected data, so there is no need to purchase external time tracking software. 
 

Administrative and legal fleet procedures

Ultimately, tachograph data can also be a valuable resource in managing administrative and legal fleet procedures. With Frotcom, data is collected and processed automatically, saving companies time and money.
