Record, store and archive data
To enable you to read, store and archive your vehicle and driver data, we always provide a secure and practical solution – no matter how big your fleet.
Make Recordings Using the Digital Tachograph – the Basis of Modern Fleet Management
Digital tachographs are compulsory in EU member states as well as countries covered by the AETR rules. In Germany, every vehicle used for commercial purposes that weighs more than 3.5 metric tons or has more than nine seats must be equipped with a digital tachograph. Our digital tachographs in the proven DTCO® series accurately display driver and vehicle data. They are at the heart of modern fleet management.
The seamless and proper documentation of recorded driver and vehicle data ensures that work, social and traffic regulations are complied with and helps you in the event of potential liability issues.
Store and Archive – Tailor-Made Solutions for Your Infrastructure
Regardless of how large your fleet is, we provide the right solution for storing and archiving your vehicle and driver data. There are a range of tools available for manual or automatic data processing.
Automatic storage involves the transfer of driver and vehicle data via Wi-Fi or a SIM card without the need for further action. Manual storage requires you to enter the driver card or download key to be read into the device. The graphic below gives an overview of the many different options.

Data from the digital tachograph and the driver card is transferred flexibly, securely and conveniently via GPRS (mobile network) – at any time and from anywhere in Europe.
VDO SmartTerminal
The VDO SmartTerminal makes it possible to read and store driver and vehicle data in VDO TIS-Web® (the online analysis and archiving solution from VDO) e.g by entering the driver card. The VDO SmartTerminal can be set up anywhere.
TIS-Web
What’s more, our modular TIS-Web® fleet management system enables you to use this data to identify new opportunities, such as better turnaround times and higher utilization.
Comply with test cycles
The DVSA stipulate that tachographs and control devices must be tested every two years by an authorised workshop.
To ensure that your tachograph always records perfectly and comply with the legally required test intervals. What’s more, the digital tachographs in the DTCO® 1381 series automatically remind you of upcoming test dates.
The Digital Checklist – the TIS-Web® Fleet App
The TIS-Web® Fleet app guides the driver through the pre-departure checks step by step using a set of lists. The inspection report, including photos, is then transferred to head office via the app. Drivers can use the TIS-Web® Fleet app if TIS-Web® is already used at their company.
TIS-Web® is a modular fleet management system that provides a range of services for efficient fleet management – not only for drivers.
Check driver’s licenses
Fleet Manager's must ensure that all driver's are always in possession of a valid driving license. Our solutions enable you to drastically reduce administrative work and remain fully legally compliant.
Reliable and Convenient – VDO SmartTerminal
The VDO SmartTerminal enables you to perform convenient checks on driver licenses. For this purpose, the driver’s license is equipped with a seal with an RFID chip. All the driver then needs to do is insert his or her driver’s license into the reader. The driver’s personal data, the final characters of the driver’s license number, the ID number of the seal of approval and the next inspection date for the driver’s license are then read and stored automatically.
The data can then be transferred to your TIS-Web® Data Management module for further processing via a network cable or USB stick/cable.
Comply with driving and rest periods
Infringing permitted driving times can result in a fine or even a prison sentence. It is not only the driver but also the company that is held responsible. Driving and rest periods must be taken into account right from the scheduling stage.
Optimally Manage Time Quotas – TIS-Web® Data Management
The practical software considers the respective time quotas and supports optimal scheduling. In addition, a variety of reports and evaluation options allow drivers to improve their time management.
Train staff
Since the introduction of tachographs, companies have been required to provide their drivers with regular training on analogue or digital tachographs and provide evidence of this training. Companies that cannot provide this evidence risk five-figure fines and extended liability in the event of damage.
First-Hand Expertise – VDO Training
We provide appropriate training courses for drivers, fleet managers, authorities, auto repair shops, systems developers and vehicle manufacturers across the country. There you and your employees can find out about the latest technology and legal regulations.
