Download over Bluetooth, practise on a faithful simulation of the real device, analyse infringements and fine risk, and get personal guidance.
Mandatory DDD downloads straight from the tachograph to your phone. No cables. No laptop. No separate reader device.
Reading out remotely used to mean an FMS box in the cab, a fitter to install it and a running subscription per vehicle. With us it goes over Bluetooth, using the phone the driver already carries.
Driver card and vehicle unit, straight from the cab.
Every tachograph holder is required to read out the driver card and vehicle unit periodically and to keep the files in a verifiable way. VYS Tacho records every download automatically, verifies the digital signature and stores everything in a secure archive.
A DDD file (ISO 20919) is the EU-standardised format for tachograph data. VYS Tacho supports both mandatory sources.
The app connects to the tachograph over Bluetooth.
A secure session with the tachograph is set up.
The app requests the data you need (driver card or vehicle).
The data is transferred in blocks. Progress is visible.
The transfer is closed properly.
The digital signature is checked instantly. A green or amber badge shows the result.
File saved to your account. Instantly shareable by email, Drive, OneDrive or any other app.

While the phone is connected over Bluetooth, all driving data is refreshed every few seconds and synchronised to the server.
Current speed straight from the tachograph
Vehicle odometer, updated per trip
Current activity of the driver and co-driver
Remaining driving time today
Remaining driving time this week
Remaining driving time over the past two weeks
The connection status is always visible in the app. There are three statuses:
Every 9 seconds the driving data is synchronised to the server. A second phone or the company portal can therefore view the same up-to-date data without a Bluetooth connection.
During a DDD download the live poll is paused temporarily so the Bluetooth connection is not disrupted. After the download the app resumes automatically.
Live data can be turned off to save battery. When off, only DDD downloads are performed and no driving data is retrieved.
The app checks at fixed intervals whether the tachograph is in range. Once the deadline has passed, the download starts without any intervention.
Faster response time for a download. Higher battery usage.
Connection only during a download attempt. Saves battery.
The RHMI feature (Remote Human Machine Interface) enables full operation of the tachograph from the app. Both directly over Bluetooth and remotely, using a second phone as a bridge.
This phone is connected over Bluetooth and acts as a bridge for other phones.
Another phone is the bridge. Commands are relayed through the server and executed.
No phone is connected. Remote control is not available.
After pairing and opening a session, the following commands are available:
Start pairing with a 6-digit code on the tachograph display. Once per device.
Authenticate the driver or co-driver on the tachograph from your phone.
End the active RHMI session on the tachograph.
Check whether the active session is still valid.
Set Rest, Available or Work for the driver and co-driver. Per slot separately.
Print the daily activity overview, violations, faults or a technical report.
Record loading and unloading activities directly on the tachograph.
Withdraw the driver card or co-driver card from slot 1 or slot 2.
Acknowledge outstanding warnings on the driver card or co-driver card.
After every download, VYS Tacho analyses the driving and rest times for violations and calculates the corresponding fine. Results are visible in the app right away.
Violations that are recorded but usually do not cause an immediate stop.
Higher fines, with a possible driving ban for repeated violations.
Can lead directly to a driving ban, vehicle immobilisation and high fines.
Besides the Dutch ILT rates, the app contains fine references for several European countries. For each violation, the table shows the amount, the severity and who is liable.
Set it up so you automatically receive a monthly overview by email with all new violations. For each violation: type, severity, time, driver and vehicle, with the estimated fine. Only new violations are reported.
Transport companies get access to a web portal for all drivers, tachographs, downloads and violations.
Add drivers, track download status and receive alerts when a deadline is approaching.
All paired tachographs per vehicle. Last download date and connection status visible.
Search all DDD files by driver, vehicle, date or type. Download any file again.
A complete overview of all detected violations, filtered by driver, period or severity.
See in real time which tachographs are active, the current activity per driver and available driving time.
Drivers set notifications for approaching deadlines: daily, weekly or monthly.
We support transport companies in guiding their drivers in the use of the digital tachograph: from instruction and practice to monitoring violations and pointing out problems and their consequences in time.
Drivers learn to operate VDO and Stoneridge in our simulator, in their own language and at their own pace.
We flag driving- and rest-time violations from the tachograph and DDD data.
We link every violation to the real risk: fines, ERRU points and liability.
We tackle recurring mistakes early, before they become a structural problem.
Every DDD file is checked on receipt for its embedded signature in accordance with ISO 20919. Green confirms authenticity; amber warns of an invalid signature.
Company card authentication takes place directly between the card in the tachograph and the vehicle unit. No server is involved.
All communication between the app and the server runs over HTTPS with TLS encryption.
Session tokens are stored in the operating system's secure key vaults.
Accounts are secured with one-time codes by email. No passwords. A maximum of 5 attempts per code.
DDD files comply with the M-file format (ISO 20919). Transferable to EU enforcement authorities and accredited analysis bureaus.
All screens, notifications, the manual and fine tables are available in twenty-six languages.
Download the app on iOS or Android, or request a company account for the transport companies portal.
