TomTom WORK Launches Live Digital Tachograph Monitoring

TomTom WORK which is dedicated to commercial fleets recently launched the integration of real time tachograph data in their TomTom WEBFLEET product.

The dispatchers of the vehicles can schedule jobs far more easily and efficiently by knowing the resting time and driving times of drivers and they can also run reports on the business that can help to improve areas.

The way transport companies operate means frequent change. Jobs can often reschedule last minute. By having the tachograph dispatchers can use the information they provide to allocate jobs based on working time directives. So if a driver is getting close to their maximum hours aloud to work then the dispatchers will know not to allocate them the job which has just come in.

Using this tachograph, fleet managers can obtain working times instantly and do not have to wait until the vehicle returns to base before the information can be collected or seen. Administrative duties are therefore made easier and time is reduced spent collating the information.

The tachograph information can be viewed over TomTom WORK’S web based system and if needed the system can also be integrated with companies back end systems. This means that such data can be integrated with payroll’s system and make payment of wages faster as well as offsetting the time logs against the legislative directives to ensure the company is compliant to these.
