Telematics Details Summary – Telematics Information Panel
On the left, you can find the Telematics Connection Summary. You can see the vendor name, vehicle position refresh rate, the percentage of synced vehicles and customer data, and timestamps for the last data synchronization.
Telematics Snapshot Categories – Analytics Overview Data Tabs
The Telematics Snapshot is divided in two primary categories. By default, the “Vehicles” tab is open when you access a Telematics Snapshot to give you a detailed look at your synchronized GPS fleet vehicles. Additionally, if you have a Geotab Integration or Samsara Integration on your Route4Me account, you automatically synchronize Customer Locations data. To view synced customer data, simply click the “Customer Locations” tab.
Regardless of whether you’re looking at “Vehicles” or “Customer Locations“, you can use filters, grouping options, and custom columns to see the telematics data relevant to your needs. Keep reading to learn how to customize your Telematics Snapshots.
