TIS-Web is an online service from VDO that provides an all in-one-answer to storing, archiving, visualising and analysing tachograph data.  Located at www.vdo-tis.co.uk, the system manages the data and also produces a variety of Driver, Vehicle and Working Time Directive reports.

There are currently over 20 different reports available starting with the Driver Infringement Letter, which can be tailored with your company details and is automatically produced with the details of the infringement.  There are 3 Working Time Directive Reports that allow you to report on Working Time Directive by driver as well as looking at a summary by depot.  Linked to the Driver Planner is a missing chart report which highlights any missing data on the individual drivers.  Information in some reports is also shown graphically such as the Driver Faults and Infringement Graph that shows a summary of the faults and infringements by depot.

The great advantage of a web based service is that with your secure account log on details you can access data anywhere from any internet enabled computer; it also means that data can be uploaded to TIS-Web from a number of different computers or sites.  As you would expect from the World's leading Tachograph supplier, VDO recognises the importance of the security of your data and we ensure high security through appropriate data centre resources and SSL encryption.

Whether it is changes to Driver's Hour's Regulations or product enhancements the TIS-Web software is automatically updated by VDO, removing the need to purchase any new software.  It does not matter if you have a single vehicle or a 500 vehicle fleet, TIS-Web is a very cost effective solution.  There are no software costs or licence fees to pay, no additional costs for running reports; there are not even any costs for adding additional drivers or vehicles.  The only cost you pay is for the data that is transferred onto TIS-Web, a typical cost being £40 per driver / vehicle per year.  We charge for this by selling Storage Blocks (SB's)*, with a Storage Block being 250 data records.  These data records can be an archive of the Driver Card or vehicle unit or a driver chart record.  This driver chart record can be from an analogue chart as well as a digital record, and we do not charge for any manual entries.

The storage blocks are bought in advance with a Storage Block* being suitable in a typical fleet for one vehicle for a whole year.  This system offers the ultimate in flexibility as the Storage Blocks are for any driver or any vehicle, so it does not matter how many different drivers or vehicles you use.  *An SB is for a monthly driver card archive, a vehicle unit archive every 2 months and 232 driving days.
