Add And Manage Route4Me Telematics Connections

Open Your Telematics Connections

To add a telematics connection to your Route4Me business route optimizer account, go to “Account” in the Navigation Menu and select “Account Settings“. Then, in the side menu, click the “Telematics Connections” in the “Integrations” section. Lastly, click the “Add Telematics Connection” button.

Learn more about supported Telematics Vendor Integrations. If your vendor isn’t yet integrated with Route4Me, contact our Customer Success Team to request an integration.

After establishing the telematics connection, Route4Me automatically syncs and imports vehicles and related data from your telematics vendor into your Route4Me account. Synchronized vehicle information appears in the “Synced Vehicle Count” column.

To edit a telematics connection, click the “Edit Connection” button located next to the telematics vendor.

To customize the display columns shown in your Telematics Connections list, click the Columns Icon. Then check the boxes next to the columns you want to display.

You can adjust column positions by dragging column names. Column names are arranged from top to bottom in the same order as their left-to-right layout in your Telematics Connections list.

Sync Additional Data – Telematics And Customer Data

When adding a new connection, your telematics data is automatically synced. Your vehicles are imported and re-synchronized with your Route4Me account.

You also have the option to sync customer data. All Customer Zones and associated custom data can be imported and re-synchronized with your account. NOTE: This option is currently available for Geotab and Samsara. If you require this feature for a different telematics vendor, please contact Route4Me’s Support Team. Learn more about telematics data synchronization.

Activate And Connect Imported Telematics Vehicles

After establishing a telematics connection, Route4Me’s last mile route optimization software automatically imports your telematics vehicles and their data. To activate these vehicles, go to “Team” in the navigation menu and click “Vehicles”.

Recently imported vehicles will appear as “Pending” and “Non-Operational” in your Vehicles List. To change the status of these vehicles, check the box next to them. Then, click the “Activate” button.

Once activated, they appear as “Active” and “Operational”. You can now assign these vehicles to routes. If you don’t wish to make them operational, click on the “Edit Vehicle” button and remove the “Is Operational” status.

Dispatch Routes To Vehicles – Assign Telematics Vehicles To Routes

To dispatch a route to a telematics vehicle, assign the vehicle to the preferred route. To assign a telematics vehicle to a route on the Routes Map or Routes List, right-click the route, select “Assign Vehicle” from the menu, and then select the preferred vehicle. To assign the same telematics vehicle to multiple routes at once, select the preferred routes by checking the boxes next to them. Next, go to “Edit” at the top of the screen, select “Assign Vehicle” from the menu, and then select the preferred vehicle from the list. Correspondingly, assigned vehicle names are displayed in the “Vehicle” column in the Routes Map and Routes List.

Accordingly, once you assign a telematics vehicle to a route from the best route management software, the route is dispatched to the given vehicle in real-time. Additionally, you can learn more about Route4Me’s telematics vehicle route dispatch and GPS vehicle tracking.

GPS Vehicle Tracking – Track Telematics Route Vehicles

Furthermore, once you dispatch a route to a telematics vehicle, you can start tracking vehicles on the map in real-time. You can also check the telematics vehicle route tracking history. Specifically, Route4Me’s trusted route planning software will automatically collect the telematics data from the GPS trackers and telematics devices installed on your vehicles and display it on the map. Additionally, you can track manually created vehicles if the driver is using Route4Me’s Mobile App.
