Situation #
Your trucks carry a Samsara, Motive or Geotab device and you want their positions in Pop Dispatch.
What keeps working #
- Phone positions from the driver app carry on. Vendor positions join them in the same position history.
- Everything else in Pop Dispatch is unchanged.
Steps in order #
- Ask your vendor whether it charges for API access. The Pop Street has no partnership with the vendors and charges no fee for this.
- Collect the credentials from your vendor account: a token for Samsara, a key for Motive, or a user name, password and database for Geotab.
- Open Settings, then Connections, paste them on the vendor's card and save (see telematics-connections).
- Choose Test connection and read the vehicles it lists.
- Switch the connection on.
- Match each vendor vehicle to one of your assets.
- Choose Sync now and read the result: fetched, stored and unmatched.
- Open the Live map.
How to confirm it worked #
Matched vehicles show pins and tracks on the Live map, and the card shows connected with the time of the last sync.
Afterwards #
Match any new vehicle when you add it to the fleet. Tell drivers about tracking as your local rules require (see live-map-consent-and-gaps).
