Why is this important?
Staying on top of tachograph analysis isn’t just good practice - it’s essential for legal compliance, operational control, and risk mitigation.
Protect your operator license: Consistent analysis helps demonstrate ‘continuous and effective management’ of compliance - a core requirement under conditions of your O-License.
Avoid fines and penalties: Breaches of drivers’ hours, rest periods, or manipulation can lead to DVSA sanctions, fixed penalties and potential prosecution.
Meet statutory download deadlines: Driver card data must be downloaded at least every 28 days, and vehicle unit data every 90 days.
How can analysis benefit my business?
Spot infringements early: Automated alerts and reports flag issues like missed breaks, excessive driving, or tampering before they escalate.
Improve driver behaviour: Regular feedback from tachograph data encourages safer, more compliant driver habits.
Support incident investigations: In the event of a collision or a dispute, forensic tachograph analysis provides defensible evidence of driver activity and vehicle movement.
What else can it offer?
Reduce admin burden: Manual checks are time-consuming. Digital analysis tools streamline reporting and free up transport managers to focus on strategic tasks.
Simplify audits: Structured data and clear reporting make DVSA visits, internal reviews, and client reporting far smoother.
Secure, tamper-proof records: Digital tachographs offer encrypted data that can’t be altered by drivers ensuring trustworthy analysis.
Court-ready evidence: Forensic-grade analysis supports legal proceedings, insurance claims, and regulatory investigations.
