Adding PVBS to your MyGeotab Portal as an Addin

This guide explains how to integrate PVBS into your MyGeotab portal for convenient access. Once configured, the Fleetwise PVBS link will appear in the System menu within the left navigation panel, eliminating the need to remember or bookmark the URL.

The integration process adds PVBS as a menu item under the System section, providing seamless access to PVBS functionality directly from your MyGeotab dashboard.
