Tachodisc In The News
TACHOGRAPHS – NOW THERE’S AN APP FOR THAT!
NEWS ANNOUNCEMENT
23rd April 2010
Tachodisc has launched the first iPhone App for drivers and operators who want easy and instant access to the latest information relating to Tachographs and Drivers Hours’ Law.
The new ASKTachodisc-Mobile App, which is available to download for free from the Apple App Store, has been created by Tachodisc to provide tachograph users with a handy legal reference guide and a much-needed guidance resource relating to the practical day-to-day operations of tachographs.
It contains bite sized and easy-to-understand reference information on Drivers Hours’ Law, Working Time Regulations and Driver CPC, and features Tachodisc’s popular digital tachograph ‘How To’ user guides. The ‘How To’ guides contain helpful information on how to make the transition over to digital and provide a useful referral point for drivers out on the road, and where there is no access to a computer.
The topics featured cover the key operational aspects of using digital tachographs, from a How to Guide to Tachographs which will pictorially illustrate how to operate the three different types of tachographs from VDO, Stoneridge and Actia, to information on Paper and Using Printer Rolls, Pictograms, Data Collection and Analysis. In addition, advice on choosing Downloading Devices and Drivers Aids is available.
Tachodisc will also send free regular legislative and news updates via the App’s live RSS feed function to ensure users are kept up-to-date with all the latest developments.
In true iPhone fashion, the ASKTachodisc-Mobile App’s navigation uses the famous style slider for ease of reference.
Karen Crispe, Tachodisc’s Director says; “At Tachodisc we pride ourselves on continually finding new and innovative ways to share our experience and deliver meaningful and beneficial information to our customers. Over the years, especially since all the changes to Drivers’ Hours Law and the introduction of Digital Tachographs, we have given away tens of thousands of printed legislative guides, created www.asktachodisc.co.uk and now, we are very excited about becoming the first to launch an iPhone App solely dedicated to tachographs and industry legislation.
This education process continues to be vitally important - the introduction of Graduated Fixed Penalties and OCRS tables has enforced this further. We believe, the ASKTachodisc-Mobile App will not only be a valuable ‘one stop’ reference aid for drivers on the move, but it will also be the perfect tool to keep customers proactively informed - it literally will enable us to send the latest Drivers’ Hours Law and tachograph information right to a drivers finger tips, no matter where they are.”
