SmartDownload now includes Geotab, Samsara & OptiFleet

Posted by AndrewT on 20th May 2021

Following on from adding Geotab and Samsara Telematics to SmartDownload for automatic remote download of tachograph data to SmartAnalysis in September 2020 we are please to announce that the SmartDownload capability has been further enhanced with the addition of the Renault Trucks telematics tool OptiFleet. SmartDownload is the automatic remote download of tachograph data to SmartAnalysis via installed telematics devices, in-vehicle devices or dedicated remote download devices such as the digiDL SmartDownload, automatic remote download is the smart way to download tachograph data. Operators are required to download driver card data within 28 days and Vehicle Unit data within 90 days to be compliant with regulations. However, it makes sense to download data on a daily or weekly basis to spot any issues such as unaccounted distance and deal with them before they become a bigger problem.  With SmartDownload your tachograph data is downloaded to a set schedule to ensure they are made in a timely fashion saving time and hassle and enabling you to deal with issues as they occur. You can see the full list of telematics and in-vehicle solutions integrated with SmartAnalysis in the table below.
