Tamex

What Tamex does

Tamex (legal entity TAMEX spol. s r.o.) is a Slovak private limited company founded in 1991 and headquartered in Bratislava, operating as the national representative (distributor and authorized service partner) for VDO brand products in Slovakia — VDO being the automotive tachograph and fleet technology brand now owned by AUMOVIO, a spin-off of Continental. The company sells, installs, and services digital and intelligent tachographs (VDO DTCO 3.0 and 4.1), automated and manual data download solutions (VDO LINK, TS CONNECT SMART), web-based fleet management platforms (VDO FLEET, VDO FLEET DMM, TS WEB EASY/PRO), and complementary products including taxi equipment (taxameters, LED roof signs, thermal printers, a customer mobile app), the RightViu radar-based turning assistant, TPMS, and auto components.

The business operates on a hybrid revenue model: one-time hardware sales of tachographs, accessories, and workshop equipment (prices ranging from ~3.95 EUR for thermal paper rolls to ~1,115 EUR for the VDO SMART Terminal); recurring subscription services such as VDO LINK data download and evaluation (~90-105 EUR per 12 months) and TS WEB PRO web platform subscriptions; and professional services including certified training courses for authorized/registered workshops and on-site or remote (TeamViewer) technical support. Distribution is carried out through direct B2B sales to fleet operators, a wholesale partner portal (velkoobchod.tamex.sk), an e-commerce storefront (tamex.sk), and a national network of authorized and registered workshops for installation, repair, and periodic inspection; verification services are co-delivered with partner TACHTEST, s.r.o. at the Bratislava site.

Tamex serves four primary customer segments — commercial transport and logistics companies (fleets >3.5 tonnes), taxi services, authorized and registered workshops, and light commercial vehicle owners (2.5-3.5 tonnes) subject to Slovak tachograph legislation — addressing regulatory compliance, manual data management burden, and fleet monitoring needs under EU drivers' hours rules. The company employs 1-10 people, has no external funding or parent ownership disclosed, and operates exclusively within Slovakia.
