Q. I have an integration with a fleet management system (FMS) in Qargo and would like to be able to see more details about my driver's breaks and rest times. Is this possible and how do I do it?

A. Yes! It is possible to view the driver break, rest and drive times when using a supported integration. Although Qargo integrates with a number of telematic providers, not all integrations will support this type of functionality.

We currently offer this functionality for users with Transics and Trimble integrations, and will continue to roll out these features across other FMS providers, including Samsara coming very soon!

    • Select the Driver, and scroll to the Transics panel in the driver profile

    • Enter the Transics ID number and click SAVE

  • To show AXLE WEIGHT, add the 'Transics ID' to the Trailer profile.

    • Navigate to RESCOURCES > Vehicles menu

    • Select the trailer, and scroll to the Transics panel in the trailer profile

Trimble

  • To pull DRIVER data, add the 'Trimble ID' associated to the Driver

    • Navigate to RESCOURCES > Drivers menu

    • Select the Driver, and scroll to the Trimble panel in the driver profile

    • Enter the Trimble ID number as it appears in Trimble.

    • 'For' field will default to DRIVER.

    • Set the Mobile App toggle on if required

📚 Mobile App toggle is for drivers that use the Trimble Mobile App ONLY and are not linked to a tachograph.

To show vehicle details, add the 'Trimble ID' to the Vehicle profile.

  • Navigate to RESCOURCES > Vehicles menu

  • Enter the ID number and click SAVE

📚 Data must be present in the FMS in order to be available in Qargo, ie: if mileage is not visible in Transics or Trimble, it will not show in Qargo.

Coming very soon!

We will be working on introducing this functionality for other integrated FMS tools and Samsara.
