Fleet owners and owner-drivers who are facing the complexities of transition from analogue to digitaltachographs, and who are abbey fuelcard member organisations, are being offered the chance to try outa versatile new analysis system for 28 days free of charge. No other system is currently offering this trybefore-buy facility and there is no obligation to retain it beyond the trial period.
Leading UK fuelcard provider, abbey, say that the abbeyTachomaster will immediately solve the transition problem,as well as save considerable time and worry. This isbecause Tachomaster system can read, store and analyseboth digital cards and analogue charts, and, importantly, all drivers' tachograph information is automatically validatedagainst the Road Transport Directive. For fleets goingthrough a phased conversion to digital, it means there is noneed to maintain two separate databases while they havesome vehicles still fitted with analogue tachographs.
The abbey-tachomaster.co.uk/' target='_blank'>abbey Tachomaster system can read digital cards inunder a minute. For analogue charts, members canchoose how to upload them – either by using abbey’sbureau service, or by self-processing using theTachomaster software. According to abbey, one of the most significant benefits of the system is that itwill automatically alert operators to any infringements immediately after the tachograph information isuploaded so that remedial action can be taken without any delay.
Tachomaster subscribers will also receive comprehensive reports in the format they prefer, and thesecan be printed out or displayed on-screen. They will include vehicle utilisation summaries, and analysesfor management.
If members do decide to retain Tachomaster after the trial periodends, there will be a charge for use of the system from £1 per driverper week. This will entitle subscribers to the full analysis, monitoringand reporting services provided by abbey.
