The Tachomaster method of pricing is kept as simple as possible
You will not find a more comprehensive Tachograph Analysis solution for less.
Use of Tachomaster costs just £1 per worker per week and 50p per digital vehicle per week (if you choose to upload your vehicle data) - there is no charge for vehicles with analogue tachographs.
Tachomaster is free software
You do not have to pay to download or use the software, and you are not tied into a minimum term contract. You will only be charged for the service we provide when you upload your data, i.e. for us to analyse, display and store the data that you upload.
* Optional Vehicle Unit upload - always free for analogue vehicles
Prices exclude VAT
Tachomaster costs just £1 per worker per week. Additionally you can upload your Vehicle Unit data to gain a whole host of extra features.
The extra features in Tachomaster are available because we analyse
the vehicle data the same way we analyse driver data.
See below for some of the great vehicle features
The Driver Calendar is the most used feature of Tachomaster. You will be able to see all the times for your drivers, as well as infringements, view their daily and weekly rest times and add extra information – such as leave, notes and rest days

Through feedback from Tachomaster users the Infringement Letters have evolved to be easy to understand by the driver. They can even be sent in a driver's native language.

Tachomaster puts no limit on the number of users that can be created or that can log in. This includes logging in to the Tachomaster Client as well as the Tachomaster web site.

Administrators are able to create user profiles to be assigned to your users. These can be set to restrict certain aspects of Tachomaster – you may, for example, want a user restricted to reporting only.

The Tachomaster Client provides the tools for uploading your driver cards, vehicle units and analogue charts. To benefit all users, there is no limit on the number of Tachomaster Client installs.

Without installing any software on your PC you can plug your card reader in and upload your driver card directly through your browser. The data is passed quickly through the Tachomaster servers. Nothing could be simpler.

Leave and Rest Days are a big part of managing your workers. Tachomaster provides the ability to add Leave or Rest Days in batches, or more specifically through the Driver Calendar.

You can create, assign and report by Site (depot), Employee Type, Agency, Market Sector and Contract; helping you to retrieve just the data you are looking for.

From time to time, VOSA might request the raw data for a driver or a vehicle. Tachomaster has a utility for you to be able to select any number of files, ordered by date, and download them ready for sending.

Your data can be expressed in many ways, the Analytics in Tachomaster gives you the ability to interrogate your data how you want to. Giving you options to group by employee type, site/depot, driver and drill down in to them. A great way to identify problem areas.

As soon as your data is uploaded to the Tachomaster servers it gets processed and creates all the records you need; Infringements, Driver/Work/Rest/POA times, WTD Reports and more.
Similar to the Driver Calendar, you can quickly see the times your vehicle was in use and by which driver. Uniquely with Vehicle Data, you can also see times when the vehicle was in use but no card was used.

Some reports are only available when uploading your Vehicle Unit data. You will be able to use the Missing Cards report to identify times where no card was used. The Vehicle Speed will become available, as well as details of any unit faults or events.

The Vehicle Unit is the only way to gather speed data from the tachograph. This data is invaluable when investigating vehicle activity. Tachomaster can generate interactive graphs or a detailed export of the raw data to the second.

When a vehicle is misused without a driver card present other systems will leave a gap in the driver data. Tachomaster allows you to assign the data from the vehicle to the appropriate driver - filling in the gap.

Due to the design of the tachograph, sometimes driver cards do not record the vehicle odometer. Luckily, the vehicle unit data does provide this data. Tachomaster integrates the odometer values with the driver data to give you the complete picture.

Setting up and uploading your vehicles with Tachomaster gives you the ability to record all important pieces of information about your vehicles. Next Tachograph Calibration, Service, MOT and more can be saved against each vehicle and reported on.

Vehicle Reports benefit from similar report filters as drivers. Giving you more control over the data you report on.
Just as a Driver Card is processed immediately, so are all Vehicle Unit files by Tachomaster's dedicated servers.
Instant Analysis of your Tachographs. Unlike other systems, with Tachomaster you don't have to wait days, or even a week to have your tachographs analysed. Tachomaster instantly analyses your charts, digital tachograph drivers' cards and vehicle units so you can see them immediately.
Tachomaster automatically analyses your information against both Drivers' Hours and Working Time Directive regulations to ensure that you stay compliant with both sets of legislation.
If there are any infringements, Tachomaster will alert you to them and, of course, produce detailed infringement letters for your drivers. The letters are written in plain English so they are easy to understand, as well as fully quoting the regulation that has been infringed.
Obviously both Drivers' Hours and Working Time Directive regulations need to know about the amount of leave and rest days your staff have had, Tachomaster lets you easily manage these either by individual worker or groups of workers. You can even generate your drivers' wages report direct from Tachomaster.
See what your Vehicles and Drivers have done — at a glance — with Tachomaster's Calenders. You will clearly see any infringements, drivers' hours, rest, patterns in working habits and where you can make improvements.
Your analysed tachographs contain a wealth of knowledge about how you're using your vehicles and drivers. Tachomaster lets you see, understand and use this information. Naturally all Tachomaster reports let you compare different drivers, depots and regions.
There's no need to run the same report again and again either. You can schedule Tachomaster reports to run automatically every day, week or month. When it's run, the report is then automatically emailed to you.
To comply with both Drivers' Hours and Working Time Directive, you are required to keep records for two years. So that you get the maximum benefit from Tachomaster's reports, nothing gets removed after the two year period; you keep all of your tachograph information.
If you want to export any report to another system then you can, for free, with Tachomaster. It's also free to export all of your 'raw' tachograph information too – VOSA may sometimes ask you to do this.
Using Tachomaster may even shorten the time a VOSA inspection takes too. VOSA do not recommend any particular analysis system. But we know from Tachomaster users that during inspections they have been asked to just print one Tachomaster report to prove their compliance.
You can install Tachomaster on as many of your company's computers as you like and there are no restrictions on the number of users that can use the system. You control what each user can, or cannot do on your Tachomaster system.
Tachomaster is easy to use and there are lots of training videos and notes for you. But if you do want any help, telephone and email support is free.
Unlike many other systems, there is no contract if you were to decide to stop using Tachomaster at any time, then you simply stop. You will only be billed for what you've used.
These are just some of the features in Tachomaster. You can try all the features, unrestricted, free for 28 days - no payment details required.
