The digicard-hotel is our dedicated company card hosting product, designed for resellers and analysis providers using Tachosys remote download products. With 32 card slots per device, it plays a vital role in our full remote download solution.

How does it work?
The digicard-hotel connects to the internet via ethernet or WiFi, allowing seamless communication with its associated remote download devices. Both the digicard-hotel and the digiDL-H or digiDL-HX (as well as previous models including digiDL, DL-E, DL-EX, DL-B, or DL-BT) connect to the digicentral server, where mutual authentication of the company card, download scheduling, and firmware updates are managed.
The company card is kept online and digicentral ensures that each tachograph within a fleet is unlocked ready for the download to take place. Therefore, when a digiDL-H or digiDL-HX requests the download, it is able to do so immediately without having to wait for the authentication. The download is completed by the remote download device and sent to the digicentral server where it is forwarded to the designated account for storage and/or analysis.
The digicard resort software helps to manage, identify, locate, and troubleshoot company cards across multiple digicard-hotels. With the LED indicator lights, it is easy to identify the status, identification and issues of a company card. You can also filter for company cards that are 'expiring soon' to help identify cards that will need replacing.
With 32 card slots per device, and each company card capable of managing the authentication necessary for most fleets, the digicard-hotel is an ideal solution for Tachosys resellers and analysis providers managing the remote download of multiple fleets.
Is it right for me?
The digicard-hotel gives you full control over the company card hosting, meaning that you are able to ensure the success of tachograph remote download for your customers. Providing you have a valid company card in the slot, the device is online and a working Tachosys remote download product installed in the vehicle, this will ensure you are able to provide complete peace of mind to your customers by taking care of their tachograph download obligations.
