Telematics Integrations – Import Vehicles And Connect GPS Vehicles From Telematics Vendors (Telematics Gateway)

With Route4Me’s final mile routing optimization and fleet management software, you can manage cars, vans, trucks, trailers, semis, heavy equipment, and more. You can add vehicle parameters, track GPS vehicles in real time, view tracking history, and dispatch routes across your fleet. In addition to manually adding vehicles, Route4Me lets you connect telematics vehicles from supported vendors. These include Verizon Connect, Geotab, Samsara, Azuga, Fleet Complete, and many others. In this guide, you’ll learn how to set up telematics connections, import and link vehicles, dispatch routes, and manage vehicles manually.

Add And Manage Route4Me Telematics Connections

Open Your Telematics Connections

To add a telematics connection in Route4Me, go to “Account” in the Navigation Menu and select “Account Settings“. Then, under the “Integrations” tab, click “Telematics Connections“, followed by “Create Telematics Connection“.

Enter your preferred telematics vendor into the “Telematics Vendor” field, then complete all subsequent fields. NOTE: Required fields will vary by vendor. When finished, click “Create Connection” to finalize.

To see which vendors are supported, explore our Telematics Vendor Integrations. If your vendor isn’t listed, contact our Customer Success Team to request an integration.

Once connected, Route4Me automatically syncs and imports vehicles and data from your telematics vendor. Synced vehicle details appears in the “Synced Vehicles” column.

To make changes, click the Down Arrow button next to the Connection Name and select “Edit“.

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

To reorder column, drag them up or down. This controls 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 can also choose to sync customer data, including Customer Zones and related custom data.

NOTE: This option is currently only available for Geotab and Samsara. If you need it for another 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 automatically imports your telematics vehicles and their data. To activate these vehicles, go to “Team” in the navigation menu and select “Vehicles”.

Recently imported vehicles appear as “Pending” and “Non-Operational” in your Vehicles List. To update their status, check the box next to each vehicle and 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 the Down Arrow button and select “Edit” to remove their “Is Operational” status.

Dispatch Routes To Vehicles – Assign Telematics Vehicles To Routes

To dispatch a route to a telematics vehicle, assign the vehicle to that route, which you can do from the Routes Map or Routes List.

From the Routes Map, click the Down Arrow button next to a route and select “Assign Vehicle” from the menu. Then, choose the vehicle you wish to assign. To assign the same vehicle to multiple routes, check the boxes next to those routes, and click “Edit” in the Toolbar. Then, select “Assign Vehicle” and choose the vehicle.

Once the vehicle is assigned, the route is dispatched to it in real-time. Learn more about assigning vehicles to routes.

GPS Vehicle Tracking – Track Telematics Route Vehicles

Once a route is dispatched to a vehicle, you can track the vehicle’s real-time location on the map and view its route history. Route4Me automatically collects GPS data from the telematics devices installed on your vehicles and displays it on the map.

You can track manually created vehicles if the driver uses Route4Me’s Mobile App.

Request Telematics Integration – Route4Me Telematics Integration With New Vendors

If the telematics vendor you currently work with or plan to work with isn’t yet integrated with Route4Me, you can request an integration through the Telematics Gateway.

Just click “Vendors” to open the Vendors List, click your desired vendor, then make your request from their vendor page.

To make your request, scroll to the bottom of the vendor’s page to access the contact form. Fill out all required fields, including the reason for your request, then click “Submit“. A customer success representatives will follow up with you shortly.
