Geotab is a company that provides secure, open-platform technology for fleet management and vehicle telematics. Their solutions help improve fleet productivity, safety, sustainability, and compliance. In conjunction with Geotab, Fleetwise automatically updates the vehicle database and manages bookings as vehicles enter or exit their designated geofences.
Vehicle data integration
Fleetwise PVBS retrieves vehicle data from Geotab every five minutes, including details such as the number plate and odometer readings. This information is then used to update the corresponding vehicle records in PVBS, or to create a new record if the number plate does not match any existing entries.
Geofence events integration
Fleetwise PVBS collects geofence entry and exit events from Geotab every 30 seconds. This data includes important details such as the type of event, the time it occurred, and the vehicle ID. The system utilizes this information to manage bookings effectively: geofence exit events are used to confirm a booking pickup, while geofence entry events indicate a booking drop-off. Additionally, if a vehicle enters or exits a geofence without an associated booking, an unauthorized use alert is sent to the administrator for review.
