How a 6-Vehicle Operator Stopped Chasing Downloads and Gained Full Compliance

Company Overview

A small transport operator running a 6-vehicle fleet across Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Compliance is managed directly by the owner, without dedicated office staff.

Challenge

The operator relied on manual downloads and printed tachograph reports. The owner regularly had to:

  • remind drivers to download cards
  • check vehicle download status manually
  • sort paper printouts and match them to dates
  • deal with constant audit anxiety and risk of penalties

Compliance was taking hours every week and causing unnecessary stress.

How a Cross-Border Fleet Reduced Repeat Infringements Using the Driver App

Company Overview

An 8-vehicle fleet operating on cross-border routes between Ireland and the UK. Drivers are often away for several days, making communication difficult. Compliance is overseen by a transport manager and one administrator.

Challenge

The company struggled to address infringements because drivers:

  • only received feedback days after the incident
  • had no way to review details themselves
  • relied on phone calls and paperwork to understand what happened

This caused repeat offences, time lost chasing drivers, and slow reactions to serious breaches.

Solution

We enabled the fleet to use the IDHA driver app, allowing drivers to:

  • see their infringements immediately
  • comment and attach photos
  • acknowledge and sign digitally
  • review historic issues tied to dates and shifts

The transport manager continues to receive weekly reports automatically.

Results

  • significant reduction in repeat infringements
  • faster handling of serious breaches
  • no more explaining issues by phone
  • improved driver accountability and behaviour

How One Operator Eliminated Paper Printouts and Manual Matching

Company Overview

A transport business operating a mixed fleet of 10 vehicles across regional and national routes. The fleet manager was responsible for compliance and paperwork without dedicated support.

Challenge

Every week drivers returned with multiple printouts, which the fleet manager had to:

  • sort manually
  • match to specific dates
  • file and store for audit purposes
  • chase missing or incomplete reports

This process took several hours per week and increased the risk of missing critical data.

Solution

We moved the operator to IDHA Online, replacing printouts with:

  • digital driver comments and evidence uploaded via the app
  • automatic linking of infringements to the correct dates
  • stored reports delivered directly by email
  • secure digital records ready for audits at any time

Results

  • hours of paperwork eliminated
  • no more missing or misplaced printouts
  • instant access to driver responses and evidence
  • auditing and internal checks simplified dramatically
