ℹ️ As of February 25, 2025, we've introduced two key updates to ELD integrations. First, we now validate credentials before saving, so you'll instantly know if they're incorrect. Second, the integration card UI has been revamped for clearer status indicators and a more streamlined deactivation process.
Overview
The GeoTab integration connects your ELD and telematics data to Alvys, enabling location tracking for trucks and trailers, Hours of Service monitoring for drivers, and IFTA mileage reporting. Setting up the integration requires an existing GeoTab account with the same username and password you use to log into the GeoTab portal.
Set Up the Integration
Navigate to the Management page by clicking the profile icon in the left lower corner, then select Integrations.
Next, select the correct subsidiary from the left. Expand the ELD section of the integrations list and click the pencil icon from the GeoTab integration box.
This will open a dialog box where you'll be prompted to enter your GeoTab Username and Password. Once those have been entered, click the Save button.
Enable Location Tracking for Assets
Find the Assets option on the blue Alvys toolbar and select either trucks or trailers based on which assets you need to set up.
From the list of assets, find and double click the asset you want to configure. This will open the Edit Asset page. Scroll down to the ELD Integrations section and click the blue Add Integration button.
In the Add Integration window, click the drop-down menu and select GeoTab. Enter the GeoTab asset ID in the Integration ID field and click Save. Repeat these steps for the remaining assets that will use GeoTab location tracking.
Find Your GeoTab Asset ID
Login to GeoTab and select Vehicles & Assets from the sidebar.
Select the vehicle of choice and copy the asset ID (only the portion that comes after "id:") from the URL.
Assets with the GeoTab asset ID can be tracked from the Asset Map by searching with the name of the asset.
Enable Hours of Service for Drivers
Find the Assets option on the blue Alvys toolbar and select drivers.
On the right panel of the Driver details page, scroll to the ELD Providers section and click +Add ELD. Enter the GeoTab asset ID in the Integration ID field and click Save.
Repeat these steps for the rest of your drivers that will use the GeoTab Hours of Service feature.
Find Driver Asset IDs
Login to GeoTab and select Activity > HOS > Availability from the sidebar.
Select the driver and copy the asset ID (only the portion that comes after "id:") from the URL.
The Hours of Service feature can be accessed from the Dispatch planner page and the Load Details Page by selecting the time displayed for the driver.
IFTA Mileage
If a truck has their GeoTab asset ID associated, you can choose their respective ELD as the source for IFTA miles. The beginning and end of the quarter are determined based on the Subsidiary physical address timezone.
For example, if the subsidiary has a physical address where Pacific Time with Daylight Savings is observed, miles will be requested from GeoTab with the respective offset for each quarter.
