Holsteiner Transport und Logistik GmbH operates a fleet of 40 trucks across Germany, focusing on groupage transport and food logistics. In this type of operation, timing, compliance, and visibility are not separate priorities – they are part of the same daily routine. Since 2021, the company has been using LINQO’s tachograph management solution to support daily fleet operations and improve overall efficiency.
Challenge: manual data handling and time loss
Before LINQO, tachograph data collection was a manual task repeated every three months. Each vehicle required around 45 minutes, which meant hours of routine work across the fleet.
Beyond the time itself, the process made it harder to maintain a clear, up-to-date overview. Data was collected periodically, not continuously, and accessing it required effort. As operations grew, this approach became increasingly difficult to sustain.
Solution: automated tachograph management and centralized data
With LINQO’s tachograph management solution, the process shifted from manual handling to automated data collection.
Instead of planning downloads, the company now receives tachograph data remotely and consistently. At the same time, fleet activity can be monitored in real time, bringing together compliance, tracking, and operational data into one system.
The company actively uses:
- remote tachograph data download
- real-time vehicle tracking
- driver working time and activity reports
- violation monitoring
- trip and route history
- geozones and notifications
Drivers and fleet managers no longer rely on manual processes or fragmented communication. Instead, information is structured, accessible, and updated in real time.
Results: time savings and improved control
Removing manual downloads immediately reduced the administrative workload. Tasks that previously required planning and coordination are now handled automatically in the background.
At the same time, real-time tracking brought more clarity to everyday operations. Fleet managers can see what is happening as it happens, which helps reduce unnecessary detours and maintain better control over vehicle activity.
“The solution helps us save time and gives us better control over our fleet, as everything is visible in real time,” the company shares.
Holsteiner Transport und Logistik describes LINQO solutions as clear, versatile, and compact. Their advice to others considering a similar step is simple: move forward and try it in practice.
