Hey @sagla-1954​,

 

This would require a custom integration using the Geotab SDK and the Salesforce API. You would need to be on the Enterprise edition of Salesforce or be paying for the API Access add-on they offer.

 

It's something you can build yourself if you have development experience or you can bring in a marketplace partner to work with too. We do custom integration work in Geotab so if you need to work with a partner, feel free to reach out and we'd be happy to help you!

 

Thanks,

Hey Tucker,

 

Thank you so much for the response.

 

Okay, I will go with the custom integration of GEOTAB SDK and salesforce.com. I have some development experience in Salesforce. However, I am working for one of the fire extinguisher companies to help them track their vehicles used in delivery and services.

 

I have found this GEOTAB GPS device can be used efficiently to find the geolocation and tracking distance of the vehicle. I am ready to take some help with your integration partners as well. I want to test this for some of the vehicles 1st and then we will have to do it for the bulk of the vehicles. Can you please give a little insight about the way to start by buying a hardware device to How I can access GEOTAB APIs?

 

Can I use the free developer instance to try this integration with GEOTAB GPS? or do I need to do it on the purchased licensed environment?

 

Can you please suggest the platform to communicate with GEOTAB Integration TEAM.

 

Thank you,
