Tracking tab (Carrier information)
Introduction
Within the FLR system we have the opportunity to activate integrations with common GPS services so that the tracking of our cargo works automatically as a different option to the use of the mobile application or manual tracking. In this article we will look at how to enable the GPS integrations functionality correctly.
Inventory Data (Dispatch)
For an integration to work correctly, it is necessary to fill in the unit number and trailer and tractor plate fields (as applicable) in the dispatch data of a load. These have to be previously entered in the system's Inventory so that they can be properly selected from the available list.
If they were properly registered, they can be observed in the dispatch information of a particular cargo, and thus follow up on the integration.
For more information on how to add inventory, see the following article.
Tracking tab (Carrier information)
On the carrier details page it is also possible to view the integrations enabled for the carrier in question. We go to Carrier Details, 6th tab from left to right Tracking Data, and we see the list of GPS Integrations.
GPS Integration Reports
In the system it is also possible to visualize a report of all the inventory pieces which are part of the GPS integration for its use. You can also visualize in these reports the fields that are necessary for the proper use of the integration as this may vary depending on the supplier.
We go to the Reports button on the left side, scroll down to GPS Integrations and click on the report of our integration of interest.
We also have the option to have this report sent to us by email or to download it as an Excel file.
