• OUR SERVICE
• THE BASICS
Tachograph analysis (often called tacho analysis) is the process of examining the data recorded by a vehicle's tachograph and its drivers' cards to check compliance with drivers' hours, working time and record-keeping law - and to identify infringements, anomalies and manipulation.
• WHAT'S INCLUDED
Every month you get a complete picture of your compliance position.
A single report tells you where you've been. Monthly analysis tells you where you're heading, helping you reduce infringements, lower risk, and stay consistently compliant.
• THE PROCESS
Simply grant us read access to your fleet software and we take it from there. We pull your tachograph data directly from your platform, keeping the process transparent, auditable and completely hands-off for you.
We work with TruTac, FleetCheck, Tachomaster, Tachosys, Aquarius and most other systems.
Our analysts examine your raw data against the same standards DVSA applies during an audit.
Every infringement, anomaly and pattern is identified, verified and explained in context.
A clear, plain-English monthly report typically within 5 working days of the data being available.
Structured to support O-licence compliance, driver feedback sessions and audit preparation.
• WHY THIS MATTERS
Operating without "continuous and effective management" puts your licence at risk. Consistent monthly analysis is your documented evidence to the Traffic Commissioner.
Breaches of drivers' hours, rest periods, or evidence of manipulation can trigger DVSA sanctions, fixed penalties and prosecution. Early detection stops issues escalating to enforcement.
Driver cards every 28 days. Vehicle units every 90 days. Missing either is an infringement in itself - we flag any that are overdue.
Monthly review catches missed breaks, excessive driving and manipulation before they compound. Early action means coaching conversations, not enforcement letters.
Clear, data-backed feedback turns awkward conversations into productive ones. Most drivers respond positively when shown specifics rather than generalisations.
Checking this yourself consumes hours that Transport Managers don't have. Outsourcing analysis frees you to focus on operational decisions rather than data hunting.
• THE LEGAL POSITION
Driver cards every 28 days, vehicle units every 90; drivers’ hours records kept for at least 12 months and working time records for at least 24 months.

Driver data handled under UK GDPR: secure transfer, encrypted storage, and, on a lawful basis, data that may also be used to improve our analysis and build anonymised, aggregated sector insight. Anything we share is aggregated so it can't identify a driver or operator.
Full details in our privacy policy.
A full analysis of one month of your data, in the same format as our monthly reports: infringements, patterns and your graduated fixed penalty exposure. Before we see any data, we put a short data processing agreement in place. UK GDPR requires one whenever you share driver data with a third party, and it protects you by setting out how we keep your drivers’ data secure and what happens to it afterwards.
No. Responsibility for compliance stays with the operator and the Transport Manager. Our reports give them the analysis, and a monthly record of the continuous and effective management the Traffic Commissioner expects.
• THE EXPERTISE BEHIND YOUR ANALYSIS
Lead analyst · Transport Manager (CPC) & tachograph compliance specialist
Your data is analysed by a dedicated team led by Andy, a certified Transport Manager and Operations Manager with six years' experience in forensic tachograph analysis. Every driver is checked against the rules he built, every infringement classified by severity and explained in context - the judgement of qualified people, not a dashboard leaving you to interpret the output.
Andy leads our analysis and built the rules and reporting standards behind every report. He's supported by Tom, who builds the data and automation behind our reporting, and Kathryn, who keeps our reports and guidance clear and accurate.
• TRUSTED BY UK OPERATORS
An operator must supervise and monitor the actions of a transport manager by, for example, checking…the arrangements for securing compliance with the drivers' hours' rules and tachograph regulations.
“Great all-round service
A great service from Andy and the team… highly recommend any business to use their services to help with all tachograph requirements."
- KH, Assistant Transport Manager, waste and recycling firm
“I would highly recommend
Always helpful and at the end of the phone if you need anything and always the gentle reminders when things need actioning.
I would highly recommend."
- SR, Director, general haulage operator
