“Don’t get left behind,” urges Derek Broomfield, Chairman of Novadata. That’s the message to UK fleet operators who may be wavering over adopting digital tachograph remote download technology.
“While you delay, others are quite literally driving ahead, able to accommodate more business, with their fleet out on the road for longer, collecting or delivering to a fuller schedule. Remotely downloading driver card data without the need to return to depot creates more productivity and faster lead times for your customers. It’s simply the way forward for the industry and no one should get left behind.”
Novadata is a trusted leader in UK transport training and compliance. The business is well-known across the industry for delivering expert-led courses for professional drivers, transport managers, and company directors across the road haulage and passenger transport sectors, began in tachograph analysis.
Consequently, Derek Broomfield’s experience in this area is second to none, and he worries that holding off ‘going remote’ will mean some UK fleet operators will get left behind quite unnecessarily. He is absolutely clear that, with the natural momentum moving from manual tachograph downloads to remote downloading in full swing, proactive fleet operators are already reaping the benefits.
“Fundamentally, it’s all about meeting your customers’ high expectations while ensuring your O Licence is secure. Your customers expect that you’re running a robust, efficient business that is aligned with DVSA regulations,” reminds Derek. “Adopting remote downloading technology, such as Novadata’s Remote Downloading & Tracking solution, provides an invaluable real-time feed. This enables managers/operators to see the current state of play with any or all of their drivers, at any time. And knowledge, as they say, is power.”
Derek advises that this is part of future proofing your business and investing now for what’s ahead.
“As the UK road transport sector increasingly does adopt digital solutions, remote tachograph downloading is well on track to become the industry standard. Your customers are already running digital operations on their sites, and they expect their logistics operators to keep up,” he says.
