FleetPulse Geotab Integration

The FleetPulse Geotab integration creates a bi-directional data sync between your Geotab telematics platform and FleetPulse's fleet management system. This connection enables several key workflows:

• Automatic GPS and odometer updates: Vehicle locations, trip histories, and mileage readings flow directly from Geotab devices into FleetPulse, eliminating manual odometer logs
• Engine diagnostics and fault codes: DTC codes, check engine lights, and maintenance alerts from Geotab appear in FleetPulse maintenance schedules
• Fuel consumption tracking: Fuel usage data syncs to FleetPulse for accurate cost-per-mile calculations and IFTA reporting
• Driver behavior scoring: Harsh braking, rapid acceleration, and speeding events from Geotab feed into FleetPulse driver scorecards
• Hours of service data: ELD logs can be referenced alongside dispatch and maintenance records in a single platform

This integration is particularly valuable for fleets that want Geotab's hardware reliability but need FleetPulse's maintenance scheduling, work order management, and customer billing features in one system.

Setting up the FleetPulse Geotab integration requires administrator access to both platforms. The connection uses Geotab's API and typically takes 10–15 minutes to complete:

1. Log into your FleetPulse account and navigate to Settings > Integrations
2. Select Geotab from the available integration list and click Connect
3. Enter your Geotab database name (found in your MyGeotab URL) and authentication credentials
4. Choose which data types to sync: GPS location, odometer, fuel, diagnostics, driver behavior, or all available data
5. Map your Geotab vehicles to corresponding FleetPulse vehicle records using VIN or asset ID matching
6. Set your sync frequency (real-time, hourly, or daily depending on your plan)
7. Click Authorize to complete the OAuth handshake

Once connected, historical data from the past 30 days imports automatically, and ongoing data syncs according to your selected frequency. You can monitor sync status and troubleshoot connection issues from the integrations dashboard.

The FleetPulse Geotab integration is most popular among small to mid-sized fleets that have already invested in Geotab hardware but need more robust maintenance, dispatch, or billing capabilities. Common user profiles include:

• Delivery fleets (10–50 vehicles): Companies running last-mile delivery operations who use Geotab for route tracking and FleetPulse for preventive maintenance scheduling and parts inventory
• Service contractors: HVAC, plumbing, and electrical companies that need Geotab's driver safety monitoring combined with FleetPulse's work order management and customer invoicing
• Regional trucking companies: Carriers who rely on Geotab for ELD compliance and want FleetPulse to manage tire programs, PM schedules, and vendor repair orders
• Municipal and utility fleets: Government and utility operations that use Geotab for asset tracking and FleetPulse for compliance documentation and budget tracking

Most users report that the integration saves 5–10 hours per week previously spent on manual data entry and reconciling information between systems.
