Fleetio, a fleet optimization platform, created the first Map Add-In for Geotab’s MyGeotab platform, enhancing its integration with the connected vehicle provider. The add-in enables mutual customers to quickly direct drivers to preferred vendors within Fleetio’s Maintenance Shop Network without leaving MyGeotab.
"This new feature strengthens the connection between telematics and maintenance management, allowing fleets to make informed decisions without leaving their Geotab dashboard," said Stefano Daneri, product marketing manager at Fleetio. "By integrating Fleetio’s Maintenance Shop Network, we’re enabling fleets to get back on the road quicker and eliminate the headaches associated with tracking and logging repairs."
Fleetio’s Maintenance Shop Network connects fleets with tens of thousands of national, independent and mobile service providers to automate and expedite the repair approval process and get real-time visibility into outsourced maintenance activity. By bringing Fleetio functionality directly into MyGeotab, the Shop Network add-in helps fleet managers and dispatchers coordinate service, reduce downtime and view preferred shop options based on a vehicle’s current location.
Fleetio developed the Map Add-In to address the needs of joint customers, particularly those managing outsourced maintenance for on-the-road drivers. Key features include:
- Shop search by proximity: View verified and unverified maintenance shops, including mobile service providers, near the vehicle’s current location based on GPS data.
- Preferred shops filtering: Direct drivers to the fleet’s trusted service providers.
- Accessible shop details: Access shop information, including services offered and pricing, in a map or list view for better decision-making and cost control.
- Improved maintenance coordination: Direct drivers to approved shops from MyGeotab and complete repair order approvals automatically in Fleetio.
This add-in expands on Fleetio's existing integration with Geotab, which allows customers to sync real-time telematics data such as GPS tracking, engine fault codes, sensor data and utilization metrics into the Fleetio platform for a holistic view of fleet performance and health.
