Fleet managers can use the Telematics tab on the Settings screen to monitor telematics for a fleet. Using telematics allows employees to collect real-time information about vehicles in your active fleet as the vehicles are being driven, such as the mileage, fuel levels, and location. The Telematics tab includes the Telematics Center section, where employees can manage telematics devices and the associated vehicles, and the Direct Connect Telematics section, where employees can enroll vehicles in telematics without a device.
Note - For more information about Telematics, contact Fleetlane Customer Service at team@fleetlane.com.
