About

TachoGate

Read full description

Diese App ermöglicht eine sichere Durchführung der elektronischen Führerscheinkontrolle mittels NFC-Labels (separat erhältlich). Eine regelmäßige Führerscheinkontrolle ist durch den Gesetzgeber vorgeschrieben. Das ist in aller Regel mit viel Zeit- und Ressourcenaufwand verbunden. Unterstützung erhalten Sie hierbei von der TachoGate App. Neu: „Meine Stammdaten“ und „Termine & Fristen“. Fahrerinnen und Fahrer sehen nach ihrer eigenen Zustimmung die Angaben, die ihr Arbeitgeber in TachoGate hinterlegt hat: Führerschein mit Klassen, Fahrerkarte, Schlüsselzahl 95, ADR-Schein, Unterweisungen sowie die daraus folgenden Fristen und Weiterbildungstermine – das Dringendste zuerst. Die Funktionen stehen zur Verfügung, sobald sie für die Firma freigeschaltet sind. Die Zustimmung lässt sich jederzeit in den Einstellungen widerrufen. Um den vollen Funktionsumfang der App nutzen zu können, ist ein Zugang zur TachoGate Software vorausgesetzt.
