TruControl – 100% Digital Support

TruTac announces full support of digital tachograph analysis for standalone and mixed fleet environments

Coventry 8th March 2006 - TruTac, the market leader of comprehensive Transport Resource Management (TRM) solutions for digital and analogue tachograph fleets, releases its digital technology module for TruControl. Its TruControl application software is the standard for effective ‘real-time’ driver and vehicle compliance management and performance reporting.

Chris Telfer, Sales & Marketing Director of TruTac says “even though digitachs are not law till May, many hauliers have already taken delivery of new vehicles or are waiting on them to be delivered with digitachs installed. The challenge is to combine effective analysis and reporting within 48 hours of driver duty, in a completely merged and consolidated exception reporting solution. TruControl offers just that solution and is being adopted by a growing number of existing and new customers.”

TruControl now 100% digital compliant - is a flexible, modular application. Its analysis technology and presentation is unique. Once the user has downloaded the data from the driver’s card, this analysis can be reviewed instantly; when merged with analogue chart information TruControl provides detailed analysis within 48 hours – reducing time to debrief from 27 days!

With double entry verification, data validation and assessment; TruControl provides advanced reporting of hours law and working time directive, thus helping hauliers to avoid major offences and reduce the risk of ministry penalties.

“A key attribute of TruControl is that it enables architectural integration of driver and vehicle movement information into middleware applications. It also utilises exception reporting methods and tells you when you need to act!” adds Chris.

TruControl’s exception reporting capability does away with hundred’s of paper reports – by allowing a haulier to establish and monitor key performance indicators set for their business. The immediate benefits derived from exception reporting are more effective time management, improved incentive management of drivers and cost reductions.

“Any decisions a haulier makes for digital also apply to analogue – it’s the merged data that is meaningful. Most suppliers and postal systems cannot offer what they need. We can provide a new integrated approach for digital and analogue” concludes Chris.

TruTac will be exhibiting at the CV Show 2006 (April 24th – 27th) on Stand 4625 Hall 4.
