Remote Tacho Download by Squarell (RTDS)

Let Squarell manage your Remote Tachograph Downloads

Not every telematics provider wants to develop and maintain its own Remote Tachograph Download infrastructure.

The Remote Tacho Download by Squarell (RTDS) service removes this complexity by providing a complete download service managed through ExpertView.

Squarell handles the scheduling, authentication and communication, allowing customers to focus on their fleet operations instead of tachograph protocols.
