TruTac
Launches TruControl Version
3.5 at the CV Show Visit TruTac Ltd at stand 19-019
Commercial
Vehicle Show, Birmingham, UK, March 23rd 2004 - TruTac, the
market leader of comprehensive driver and vehicle conformance management
solutions for mixed fleet operators, today launches version 3.5 of TruControl
for effective real-time management of driver data drawn from the tachograph.
The implementation
of the Working Time Directive in Spring 2005 requires
operators to have undertaken a thorough review of current working practices.
TruControl provides the
necessary improvements in driver, vehicle and route analysis providing
the foundation to demonstrate conformity and improved performance in
advance of these changes.
TruControl’s
unique scanning technology enables a daily analysis of tachograph
charts dramatically reducing time to debrief from 27 days to
less than 24 hours with the associated increase in efficient conformance
management. Tachograph charts are quickly
and accurately analysed, with double entry verification, data validation
and assessment, providing advanced reporting of Hours Law
and Working Time Directive, avoiding major offences
and reducing the risk of Ministry penalties. This comprehensive reporting
ensures effective real-time performance management, cutting legal exposure,
highlighting training needs and rewarding good performance leading to
improved morale and confidence.
Martin Taylor-Smith, CEO TruTac
Ltd; “This is a nervous time for many in the commercial
vehicle sector with the approach of new health and safety legislation,
Working Time Directive obligations and the arrival
of digital tachograph technology in the near future.
We understand that this industry operates on very low margins and constantly
seeks new ways to improve business efficiencies and reductions in overheads.
TruControl embraces these developments and gives hauliers and fleet
operators the tools to control agencies and better manage their drivers.
“
“Critically
for the bottom line, TruControl’s
increased efficiency not only reduces core and agency labour costs by
a tenth, it also reduces the risk of driver infringements by a third,
bringing about a return on investment in less than three months.”
Concludes Taylor-Smith.
