TruTac says that East Midlands-based family-owned operator Paul S. Winson Coaches reports much improved control over driver performance and data control since installing its CPT Tacho Analysis software. With a fleet of 30 modern coaches, Paul S. Winson Coaches had previously used a system which, says the company, made digital and analogue tacho analysis a ‘complicated and time-consuming task.’
“As proud members of CPT and the Guild of British Coach Operators, we not only have an unblemished 36-year record to protect, but also need to maintain a high standard of operation to satisfy all current DVSA and WTD regulations,” said Operations Director Anthony Winson.
Having looked at a number of software providers, the company opted for CPT Tacho Analysis, with additional modules – TruDriver, TruView and TruDocuments – to improve driver performance and tighten-up day-to-day administration relating to drivers, vehicles and tachograph compliance.
Now, according to Anthony, the operations team can access real-time, in-depth information regarding everything from driver infringements to individual driver’s hours – down to the minute.
Route planning, driver utilisation and problem-avoidance are greatly improved, as is the company’s ability to confidently present clear and accurate data, should an audit be required.
“The CPT Tacho Analysis system powered by TruTac is one of the best investments we have made,” added Anthony. “One glance at the screen tells all. It was easy to install, it’s easy to use, secure and all the information is crystal clear to see and understand.”
Additionally, Anthony said that training and support from the TruTac team has been second-to-none, during what he describes as a relatively short and seamless installation and bedding-in period.
Developed by TruTac in partnership with the CPT, CPT Tacho Analysis includes complete web-based, instant digital and analogue tachograph analysis which is fully Earned Recognition-accredited and supports EU and GB Domestic Drivers’ Hours and Rest Time Rules (including WTD). All CPT members get the benefit of at least 20% cost savings on the full range of CPT Compliance products provided by TruTac. These include CPT Tacho Analysis, CPT Daily Checks and CPT Licence Checks.
