It's always a great event to be involved in, and this year was no exception.

Despite the 🌧 weather, the team enjoyed a fantastic few days at the Export and Freight Golf Masters, held at the stunning Lough Erne Resort 🏌‍♂️

Lots of laughs, great conversations, and valuable time spent catching up with industry colleagues along the way.

30 days to go until Road Transport Expo 2026 🚛☀️

One of our favourite dates in the transport calendar is nearly here.

RTX is more than just a trade show. It’s three days of trucks, transport professionals, outdoor stands, industry conversations, catching up with customers and seeing what’s new across the sector - hopefully with a bit of sunshine thrown in too.

We’ll be there on Stand G34 talking all things connected compliance, the Aquarius App and some of the latest updates across our software suite, including Defect Check enhancements and Licence Check.

But mostly, we’re looking forward to seeing everyone again, having a chat and enjoying another great show.

If you’re heading to Stoneleigh, come and say hello 👋

Product Focus 👀

Different operations require different approaches to tachograph data collection - which is why we offer a range of tried-and-tested handheld downloading tools designed to suit different depot and driver workflows.

Whether you need a compact download key, a straightforward multi-vehicle downloader, or a dedicated out-of-hours card capture solution, our chosen range from TachoSys and Lisle Design includes:

⬇️ DigiVu - a compact digital tachograph download key designed for fast vehicle downloads and simple day-to-day use. Its lightweight, keyring-mountable design makes it ideal for drivers and busy depot environments.

⬇️ DigiVu+ – combines the power of DigiVu with integrated card reading technology, providing a wire-free mobile solution for downloading both vehicle unit and driver card data.

⬇️ DigiDown - a robust multi-vehicle downloading device supporting both vehicle unit and inserted driver card downloads, with removable memory storage for flexible file handling.

⬇️ DigiDown Plus - adds a built-in tachograph card reader, allowing driver card downloads without requiring a company card. It can also act as a fixed out-of-hours capture point for drivers.

All four solutions are compatible with ClockWatcher Elite, helping operators simplify tachograph data collection while supporting secure, reliable compliance processes across the operation.

Designed for busy transport environments, these devices continue to be trusted by operators looking for practical, proven depot downloading solutions.

It’s Mental Health Awareness Week - a reminder that driver wellbeing remains an important part of both safety and day-to-day operations.

For many drivers, the job can involve long hours, pressure, isolation and fatigue, which is why having the right support and communication in place matters.

In support, our team continues to develop connected digital tools that help operators take a more proactive approach to driver welfare, including the ability to record and manage welfare and safety-related information within the Aquarius App.

https://www.aquariusit.com/news/check-up-on-the-health-safety-and-welfare-of-drivers-with-the-aquarius-app/

The health, safety and welfare of drivers is of upmost importance, not only to safeguard the driver, but to also protect a company and its reputation. In modern times, this goes beyond the basic organisational controls of drivers’ hours regulations, because of the inherent mental and physical fact...

Not long now until Road Transport Expo on 30 June 🚚

We’ll be on Stand G34 showcasing how our integrated compliance and fleet management technology is helping operators strengthen compliance, improve efficiency, and stay connected across day-to-day operations.

One of the key highlights this year will be the new Defect Check interface within the Aquarius App, featuring a more intuitive user experience designed to make it even easier for operators to build and customise checks around their own operational requirements.

Visitors will also be able to explore the latest enhancements across the software suite, including DVLA-approved Licence Check, secure Data API capabilities, and a preview of our new website.

Come and see us at Stand G34.
