How to use TX-FLEX
A driver logs on to TX-FLEX via a QR code on the SCALAR EVO Touch or TX-GO 2 on-board computer. As from that moment, both are paired via Bluetooth.
SCALAR EVO Touch
SCALAR EVO Touch steers the driver to his destinations and guides him through the planning. As soon as the driver leaves the truck cabin to finalize his order at location, TX-FLEX takes over. All app entries are synchronized with the on-board computer and can be double-checked with the home base. Meanwhile, TX-FLEX permanently informs the driver on his driving style and remaining driving and resting times.
