TachoSync Release Notes

This page contains release notes for TachoSync (updated monthly).

November 2025

Enhancements and New Features

New Integrations Section

• A dedicated page for managing data integrations has been added. You can now view all integrations, check their status, enable or disable them, and review connection details — all from one place.
• In the future, all TachoSync integrations (such as Webhooks or updated API key management) will be accessible through this section.

SFTP Integration Released

• Introduced SFTP as the first integration method in TachoSync. This allows automatic delivery of downloaded tachograph files directly to your internal systems or fleet platform.
• You can configure naming formats, include or exclude sub-companies, and choose whether to sync historical files.
• Learn more in TachoSync Integrations.

Automatic Initial Driver Download

• Added a new feature that automatically downloads driver card data the first time a driver connects to TachoSync and no files exist for that driver yet.
• This ensures you always have initial driver data available without needing to set up schedules in advance.

Improved Device Queue Handling

• Optimized the device queue algorithm to better handle the authentication workload for a single company card.

Fixes

• Fixed an issue where .TGD filenames contained an extra underscore after the country code.
• Fixed an issue in the Quick Schedule view where the selected activities from–to dates were not displayed in detail.
• Improved email validation to ensure compatibility with modern email address formats.

API Updates

• Updated response types for /v1/DriverFiles/Download & /v1/VehicleFiles/Download endpoints.
• Added support for retrieving tachograph files in .TGD, .C1B, and .V1B formats via API, alongside .DDD.

General Updates

Frontend migrated from Recoil to Zustand for improved performance, stability, and maintainability.

October 2025

In Progress: SFTP Integration

We’re finalizing the new SFTP integration, planned for launch in November 2025.

This feature will allow automated delivery of downloaded tachograph files directly to your own servers or fleet systems, reducing manual work and simplifying compliance workflows.

Enhancements and New Features

• Improved Company Settings layout to clearly separate configuration options for vehicles and drivers. This makes it easier to review and manage automation preferences at a glance.

Fixes

• Fixed an issue where company card status in Download Monitoring could display “None are online” even though a card was available.
• Fixed several .V1B file format issues to ensure filenames fully comply with EU standards.
• Resolved a problem where a download session could remain stuck if a company card was reported as “already in use” by the same vehicle. Added a timeout mechanism that stops inactive connections after 60 seconds, freeing the card automatically.

API Updates

• Added the validFrom field to the Company Card GET endpoints, providing more detailed card information.
• Fixed an issue allowing Vehicle quick schedule to be created without specifying a file type.
• Fixed DELETE functionality to allow removing objects (vehicles, drivers, etc.) across the entire company tree, not just at the root level.

September 2025

In Progress: Integrations section upcoming

This month, our team focused on expanding TachoSync’s integration capabilities. We’re preparing new options to connect with external systems through Webhooks and SFTP, enabling automated data exchange and smoother workflows.

These features are currently under development and will be available in 2025Q4 — stay tuned for more details.

Enhancements and New Features

• Added a “Last successful download” field for vehicles and drivers, helping you easily verify that data is being downloaded regularly and in line with EU regulations.

Fixes

• Fixed an issue where the “Add company card” tutorial could not be completed.
• Resolved a problem where in some cases the vehicle number could not be edited.
• Fixed an issue causing authentication errors when a tachograph requested secure data exchange.

General Updates

• Preselected API Key as the default authentication type in the Scalar Open API Client.
• Changed “No available company cards” from an error message to a banner notification inside Download Monitoring.
• Improved API documentation for both single and multiple file downloads (data vs. ZIP format).
• Performed several system optimizations and maintenance tasks to improve stability and performance. These included infrastructure updates and long-planned internal improvements that make TachoSync faster and more reliable behind the scenes.

Company Card Authenticator

New version released: v1.2.1

• Improved authentication speed when using Lisle Hyper Card racks — now up to 3–4 times faster than before.
• Fixed a problem in large Lisle setups (50+ company cards) where some cards were not identified correctly when inserted or after a service restart. The initial card reading process was updated to ensure all cards are detected reliably.
• Fixed an issue where smart card readers (PC/SC) were released too early in some cases, causing occasional communication errors.
• Fixed a rare issue where some smart card readers did not retrieve the ATR command correctly.
• Fixed an issue where Lisle card slots could appear occupied while the card information was missing. The system now rechecks the slot automatically to ensure the card is properly recognized.

July 2025

• Introduced a new Connectivity widget which shows a summary of the connection status of devices or company cards - based on your selection.
• Administrators can now easily locate which sub-company a device belongs to using the new Find Device tool - saving time in large, multi-client environments.
• Added a new repeat option to the schedules - Monthly. When selected, it automatically downloads data for the entire previous month.
• Introduced a new dashboard widget that helps you monitor company card expiration dates. This allows you to take action before a card becomes invalid and disrupts downloads.

Fixes
