Masternaut to combine telematics & tachograph functionality

E.Novation’s digital tachograph solutions enable vehicle data to be transmitted wirelessly, as well as archived and analysed, while monitoring European toll charges and vehicle costs.

The acquisition enables Masternaut to deliver multiple added-value services via one core, connected platform. Fleet management and driving-time compliance will be unified into a single hardware unit, with instant, automatic and remote access to data via wireless transfer, with increased security.

The next-generation systems will enable Masternaut’s customers to handle compliance with drivers’ hours and working time directive efficiently, while greatly reducing operational costs.

The solution will also help customers in supporting the move towards EU Smart Tachograph in 2017-2018.  The ability to store, record and download dynamic driver and vehicle data wirelessly, while automating data compilation and scheduling, improving data reliability and reducing IT complexity will significantly reduce operational and administrative overheads. It will also enable logistics companies to gain driver time and maximise fleet efficiency while improving driver safety while ensuring deadlines are never missed.

Martin Hiscox, chairman and CEO of Masternaut, said: ‘Tachograph solutions are of course a necessary spur to improve road safety, but despite advances with digital systems, high administration costs are still crippling the .

‘Our systems will not only greatly reduce the cost burden, but unlock the potential for tachographs to transform fleet management and maximise fleet efficiency.’
