We support customers with, among other things:

the technical setup of EasyTacho;

support for daily use.

This results in a solution that not only processes data but is also practical for planning, administration, and fleet management.

Why EasyTacho is offered as a white-label solution

Rietveldoffers TACHOfresh’s technology under the name EasyTacho.

For our customers, this means that tachograph management becomes part of a single, recognizable Rietveld portfolio. As a result, fleet management, onboard computers, tachograph data, and support are better integrated.

Customers benefit from:

a single point of contact for fleet management and tachograph management;
a recognizable solution within the Easy product family;
integration with Efficio and EasyTrack;
support from specialists who understand the transportation industry;
less reliance on various separate suppliers.

TACHOfresh provides the specialized technology. Rietveld handles the adaptation to Dutch transportation practices, implementation, and day-to-day support.

One solution for tachograph data and compliance

With EasyTacho, the process surrounding digital tachograph data is automated as much as possible.

The solution supports the entire process:

Driver and vehicle data are read from the digital tachograph.
The files are transferred automatically and securely.
EasyTacho checks the data for completeness and violations.
The files are archived centrally in accordance with applicable retention requirements.
Authorized employees review reports, warnings, and points of concern.
The organization can take timely action in the event of missing data or potential violations.

This provides greater control over a process that would otherwise require a great deal of manual administration and discipline.

Automatic Remote Download

An important feature of TACHOfreshtechnology is Remote Download.

This feature allows files from the driver card and the digital tachograph’s message memory to be read remotely. As a result, vehicles do not need to return to the depot specifically to download the data manually.

Downloads can take place fully automatically according to a scheduled cycle. A download can also be initiated manually if necessary. The data is transmitted from the vehicle to the online portal via a signed data transmission.

This offers benefits such as:

less manual data retrieval;
less dependence on the vehicle’s physical presence;
a lower risk of missed download deadlines;
fewer administrative tasks;
transparent insight into completed downloads;
automatic file export options.

This is particularly valuable for international fleets, as vehicles sometimes do not return to their home base for extended periods.

Insight into driving, rest, and working times

EasyTacho not only makes tachograph data available for archiving but also translates it into actionable information.

Through clear dashboards, graphs, tables, and alert reports, the organization gains insight into:

driving times;
rest periods;
working hours;
availability;
potential violations;
missing files or data;
trends by driver or vehicle.

The TACHOfresh reporting module was developed to provide organizations with an overview of compliance with driving, rest, and working hours and to highlight relevant violations. Reports can also be exported to formats such as PDF, CSV, or Excel.

This allows administrative staff to more quickly assess where follow-up is needed.

Real-time driving time information for scheduling

In addition to historical analysis, EasyTacho can also provide real-time tachograph information, depending on the selected configuration.

The LIVE functionality of TACHOfresh provides insight into, among other things:

daily driving time already used;
remaining driving time allowance;
the next mandatory break;
current driver activities;
possible speeding violations;
vehicle location and route traveled.

Current driving time budgets can be displayed per driver and vehicle in an overview and on the map. This allows the dispatcher to better assess whether a driver can complete the next assignment within the available driving time.

This helps to:

plan trips more realistically;
prevent unexpected downtime due to mandatory rest periods;
reduce the frequency of calls to drivers;
identify the risk of violations earlier;
deploy vehicles and drivers more efficiently.

Identify and address violations earlier

Tachograph data is only truly valuable when an organization takes action on anomalies.

EasyTacho provides insight into where potential violations, missing files, or incomplete data occur. Alert reports help employees focus on the files that require attention.

Examples include:

exceeding daily or weekly driving time limits;
insufficient daily or weekly rest periods;
breaks taken too late;
violations of working hours;
missing driver card files;
missing vehicle downloads;
periods without complete records.

By identifying discrepancies earlier, the organization can provide drivers with more targeted information, adjust internal processes, and reduce the likelihood of recurrence.

Secure and Centralized Archiving

Transportation companies must not only download tachograph files but also keep them available for the required period.

The TACHOfresh PRO module supports legally compliant storage of driver and vehicle files. The data is available online 24/7 and is processed in an ISO 27001-certified data center in Germany.

This means:

one central location for tachograph files;
fewer separate folders and less local storage;
better availability during inspections;
protection against data loss;
controlled access for authorized employees;
an overview of missing archive files.

As a result, the organization spends less time manually collecting and managing files.

Modular deployment

Not every organization needs the exact same features right away.

TACHOfresh offers various modules that can be used separately or in combination:

PRO – Reporting and Analysis

For monitoring driving, rest, and working hours; flagging violations; data verification; and archiving.

RDL – Remote Download

For the automatic remote download of driver card and vehicle files.

LIVE – Real-Time Tachograph Information

For real-time insight into driving time budgets, driver activities, breaks, speed, and vehicle location.

This modular structure makes it possible to tailor EasyTacho to the size, operating methods, and information needs of the fleet.
