Getting connected

A setup built
around your vehicles.

  1. Check the tachograph.We confirm the vehicle, tachograph and tracking equipment requirements with you.
  2. Connect the download workflow.We help establish the compatible remote-download and company-card authentication setup.
  3. Manage the files.Use the platform to follow incoming files and processing results alongside your fleet activity.

Collection is the start of the process

Download. Check.
Review. Follow up.

A received file is useful evidence of collection. Your operation still needs a dependable process for analysis and action.

  1. Plan the collection.Confirm compatible tachographs and equipment, company-card authentication and intervals with time to retry.
  2. Check the records arrived.Review driver and vehicle-unit files, processing results and gaps. A scheduled task is not proof of receipt.
  3. Complete the review.Keep accessible records, analyse the data and document follow-up. Confirm any transfer to a separate analysis provider.

For the relevant goods-vehicle operations, DVSA specifies driver-card downloads at least every 28 calendar days and vehicle-unit downloads at least every 90 calendar days, with earlier downloads in some circumstances. Read the full operator responsibilities guidance when setting your process. Downloading alone does not guarantee compliance.
