By 31st March 2024, companies are required to delete tachograph data from the previous year, as outlined by EU regulations. For instance, in Germany, this is specified under the Drivers' Working Hours Regulation (FPersV).

For our clients, we undertake timely deletion, reducing your workload and ensuring compliance.

In specific cases, such as during legal investigations and accidents, or when using tachograph data for payroll, different and extended retention periods may be mandatory. Please check in time which deletion deadlines apply to you.

Dear Esteemed Clients and Partners,

In an era marked by continual transformation and various challenges, we primarily want to extend our deepest thanks for your unwavering trust and our fruitful partnership over the last year. The festive season offers a perfect moment to take a breath and consider all that we have achieved together. We feel privileged to have been part of your journey, sharing in your narratives and successes.

The 18th Central German Bus Day 2023 (Mitteldeutscher Omnibustag 2023) will take place in Landsberg on 15th-16th November 2023. The conference will focus on networking and innovation in the bus and coach sector. Among the numerous participants, TSI Telematic Services GmbH will take part again this year. 

At this event, we'll showcase our advanced bus telematics. A standout feature is our automated reading of digital tachographs, which can be utilised for various functions, including work time and expense reporting.

We would like to inform you about upcoming maintenance work and upgrades to our infrastructure. During this phase, there may be temporary restrictions on the availability of our services. The maintenance work will take place over the weekend outside regular business hours to minimize any disruption to your business processes.

The planned maintenance window is 

from August 11, 2023 starting at 10:00 PM to approximately August 13, 9:00 AM

We thank you in advance for your understanding.

With the iPhone 16.4 update, web push notifications are finally available, bringing the functionality of iPhones on par with Android devices.

TSI, as a provider of fleet management solutions, has already integrated this function for a long time. Now, finally, iPhone users can also use this popular feature of the TSI Connect app to receive notifications for urgent events, such as car theft alerts, for example. 

As experts in the field of telematics and fleet management, we provide information on the correct use and storage of tachograph data, which is an important part of the European regulations. Tacho data is information about speed, driving and rest times as well as working hours of drivers recorded by a tachographs.

Data must be recorded and kept by transport companies in accordance with EU Regulation 561/2006. The upcoming deletion date for tachograph data is on 31^st March 2023. All data older than one year must be deleted.

However, there are cases where the retention periods for tachograph data may differ, e.g. in the case of working time recording, unforeseen events, investigations, legal disputes or internal company reasons.

To save your tachograph data, you can download and transfer them to an archive or other storage medium or notify us in good time of an alternative storage period.

TSI starts 2023 with even more artificial intelligence for your driver's log:

For who hasn't been there? Quickly fuelling up and then swiftly recording the data in the fuel log. But typing in amounts is a nuisance! So let's do away with this step and let our AI take care of it all!

Simply take a snapshot of your fuel receipt! Using computer vision, our AI automatically reads the relevant amounts on the fuel receipt and records them in the fuel log for you.

The old year once again is almost over - it's amazing how quickly time flies.

Together we have achieved a lot this year, and we thank you for the pleasant and constructive partnership throughout the past year.

Yet another opportunity to leverage the data of the driver cards from digital tachographs is utilising it for managing all of your drivers' expenses in one convenient place.

Keep track of your drivers' expenses easily, centrally and specifically tailored to your requirements. Everything is at a glance with our expenses manager — be it all expenses for the respective month, listed in detail or summarised for all drivers. Our unique Expenses AI fully automatically supports you along each step.

The Central German Bus Conference (Mitteldeutscher Omnibustag) will take place this year on 17 and 18 November 2022 in Gera. You can look forward to seeing what the bus industry has to offer. TSI will also be represented again this year. We will inform about our state-of-the-art bus telematics, our highlight - the automatic remote reading of digital tachographs and the use of the data for many other purposes, such as working time and expenses accounting.

In this article series, we show that the data from tachographs and driver cards are useful for more than just the control purposes of the Federal Office for Goods Transport (BAG) - to improve road safety, social standards and the health of professional drivers.

Businesses can also easily reuse this data and tap into numerous added values. In this article, we explain how you can utilise tachograph data to meet your payroll needs.

According to the decision of the German Federal Labour Court, companies are obliged to record and document the working hours of their employees and to introduce a corresponding system for this purpose. For a long time now, TSI has been offering suitable solutions for the electronic working time recording!

Our newly improved Dark Mode is now available to everyone on our free TSI Connect smartphone app. Using TSI Connect in dark environments is now even more comfortable. Protect your eyes and your sleep rhythm from bright light. Try it out now!

We protect your data long before vulnerabilities become problems!

That' s why it is necessary to always be up to date and regularly advance our solutions to provide you with the best possible protection for your data. Accordingly, numerous new security functions go into production at the turn of the year. 

TSI wishes you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2022

With TSI Connect, NFC and RFID support is now available on the web, in the PWA version and directly in the browser. The Android app downloaded and installed from the App Store is no longer necessary.

Security on the smartphone can be complicated and often requires active participation of the user.

With PWA technology, this becomes much easier and security on your smartphone is significantly improved. The browser plays a major role here and helps you as a user to be protected much better. The associated standardisation also brings additional benefits by allowing technical innovations to find their way into new device groups.

Progressive Web Apps (PWA) also help to shorten update cycles. We explain why this is the case in this second part of our article series.

With the availability of Web-NFC and RFID functionality on the web we are focusing our efforts on PWA as a technology. Find out what advantages this brings for you and our users.

Chrome gets web NFC, which means it can recognize and read RFID tags. We illuminate the background, technology and advantages for you in this three-part article series.
