Tachograph analysis software
Turning raw tachograph data into a defensible compliance record.
What it is
About Tachograph analysis software
Tachograph analysis tools like Tachomaster and Truckfile import digital tachograph files and driver smart-card data, automatically flagging infringements of drivers' hours, working time and rest rules, and producing compliance reports for DVSA audits. They're a core part of maintaining an operator's licence for haulage and passenger transport companies, replacing manual paper-disc analysis.

How to learn it
Learning Resources

Vendor training provided with tachograph analysis software contracts
CILT (Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport) transport compliance courses

Pro Tip
Reconcile tachograph infringement reports weekly, not monthly — regular, small corrective conversations with drivers prevent accumulated breach patterns that draw DVSA attention.
