All driving done under EU rules must also be recorded on a tachograph.
Using the TrackTrans ePOD app, operators are able to accurately monitor drivers’ working hours, via the activity recording module.

The data is returned live to TMS and can be displayed back in the office. If required, the information can be used to inform the payroll system.
Our software enables you to ensure that your drivers are corresponding to the newly enforced EU rules. The application’s simple messaging system also gives you the ability to remind specific employees of the regulations, if required.
