Late-paid fines: the figure that doubles past due

Fines arrive via different channels (HGS, e-Devlet, municipal), one gets missed, 50% penalty + impound risk. Automatic logging + due-date calendar.

View through an office window at night onto a city skyline, an open envelope and a fine notice on the desk — the atmosphere of corporate oversight.

Fines arrive via different channels: HGS, e-Devlet, municipal, EGM, BAG (DE), Asfinag (AT). One gets missed, due date slips — 50% penalty + impound risk.

Industry case: A 100-truck fleet sees 80–120 traffic fines/year. 15% miss the due date = €3,000+/year savings from penalty avoidance alone.

Why manual is hard

Three reasons:

  1. Channel sprawl. 6 main channels in TR, separate systems per country in the EU.
  2. No due-date calendar. Which fine is due when? Excel-based tracking is risky.
  3. Escalation invisible. When does the unpaid fine start compounding? When does impound risk start?

Automatic logging + due-date calendar

Lognari pulls fine data from each channel via API/CSV:

Escalation cascade: 30 days out → 14 days → 7 days → overdue (50% surcharge + impound risk).

Appeal process

Lognari produces appeal reports backed by an evidence chain (GPS + trip record + tachograph). One pilot fleet had 38% of fines overturned on appeal over a 12-month period.

What’s next

If you saw missed due dates + compounding in the last 12 months, the process isn’t digital yet. A 30-day pilot wires up all the channels.
