TachigrafoSemplice: EU Fleet Compliance
TachigrafoSemplice, is a specialized compliance platform designed to support heavy transport operators across the European Union in adhering to regional driving laws. Built with a focus on automation, transparency, and legal accuracy, the platform empowers transport companies to manage their fleets, drivers, and vehicles while ensuring full compliance with EU regulations.
At its core, TachigrafoSemplice allows businesses to register and manage fleets at scale, monitor driver activity and vehicle location in real time, and perform complex calculations to determine potential infractions or legal violations based on EU transport laws. It integrates directly with tachograph (Tachigrafo) DDD files, reconciling them with real-time tracking data to offer accurate oversight and enforcement insights.
With a strong presence across Europe, TachigrafoSemplice supports over 200 business clients and tens of thousands of vehicles and drivers, making it a vital tool for regulatory compliance in the logistics and transport industry.
Contributions
I was engaged by Viasat Group to provide consultation and technical support during a critical evolution phase of the TachigrafoSemplice platform. My contributions were focused on the following areas:
- Infrastructure & Data Migration
- Led the migration of the system’s backend from a proprietary AWS-based architecture to a more open-source stack and tailored infrastructure.
- Ensured minimal downtime and smooth transition through careful planning and execution of data transfer strategies.
- System Unification
- Consulted on the merger of data and infrastructure from a separate but similar product, helping create a unified platform.
- Worked on harmonizing schemas, resolving conflicts in legacy systems, and integrating operational logic to support a broader client base within a single system.
- Operational Robustness
- Implemented systems for logging, heartbeat monitoring, and polling reliability to ensure real-time data flows remained consistent and error-free.
- Helped design a robust data reconciliation mechanism between live GPS tracking and tachograph DDD files to ensure legal reporting accuracy.
Through these efforts, I contributed to strengthening the platform’s reliability, scalability, and maintainability—key factors in supporting its large and growing user base across the European transport sector. TachigrafoSemplice continues to play a central role in helping logistics businesses meet legal obligations and streamline operational oversight.
