Client Goals and Challenges
Divna was looking for a serious GPS vehicle tracking and fleet management system to make their job considerably easier. There were some key goals and challenges that the solution needed to overcome, like:
- 24 hour a day monitoring of truck positions
- Ability to interact with all of their drivers
- Ability to predict the arrival and unloading time allowing the team to plan for reloading
- Ability to reduce fuel spent (especially in light of increasing fuel prices)
- Ensuring adherence to tachograph downloading legal regulations and therefore avoidance of resulting penalty fees

One of the main benefits Divna immediately saw was the ability to save key places (such as petrol stations, park stations, loading and unloading goods etc.) on Frotcom’s web (PC/Tablet) and smartphone interfaces, allowing the management team to work faster and to help drivers not to lose time searching for locations.
The remote download of tachograph files has also been a huge benefit. It means that there is no need to go from truck to truck to download the tachograph’s mass memory and the driver’s tachograph cards. Indeed, trucks don’t even need to return to Macedonia as often.
The Remote tachograph download solution can be configured automatically to download tachograph files and driver card files according to a schedule. Different schedules can be defined for downloading tachograph’s data and the driver’s card data.
The management team can be made aware of the deadline for downloads in the form of an alarm from the Frotcom software. The solution also notifies users when the data is not downloaded for each truck and driver.
With this, Divna is complying with EU legislation. Data is downloaded securely from each vehicle to Frotcom, adhering to EU tachograph regulations and as such, avoiding the huge penalties for late downloads.

Frotcom also allows Divna to check how each truck is being driven, taking into account driving behavior, monitoring speeding, idling, braking, and accelerations.
Frotcom’s solution enables the management team to analyze truck conditions and lower fuel and maintenance costs accordingly, helping them to meet business objectives.
Overall, Frotcom’s product has meant that Divna has been able to give its clients detailed information, cementing its place as a serious and professional transport company.
