1692 TomTom Telematics and 260 Continental have announced a collaboration to create a more efficient data archiving solution for heavy goods vehicles (HGVs), an alliance which combines fleet management and transportation compliance solutions, enabling users to remotely transfer data from the truck to the back office without having to return the vehicles to base.

The new integration links TomTom WEBFLEET with TIS-Web, part of Continental’s VDO brand. Fleet managers using the new solution will have greater control over their digital tachograph data. Automated downloading of tachograph data from fleet vehicles, as well as automated uploading of tachograph data to TIS-Web, can help ease the burden of compliance with applicable legislation. As TIS-Web also analyses and assesses the tachograph data, it helps increase fleet efficiency by enabling fleet managers to reduce unwanted interruptions to vehicle schedules.

TIS-Web customers who have already installed TomTom WEBFLEET will also benefit as they can now merge the two solutions into a single customer-friendly solution.

The new app, WEBFLEET TachoShare TIS-Web Connect, will be available to customers from October 2016, initially in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, with other regions in Europe to follow.
