Introduction
This document is a resource designed to give you, whether a Geotab Partner or a Customer supported directly by Geotab, an understanding of our connected support ecosystem and user authentication processes, the availability of self-service tools, and details about the Geotab Technical Support team. Aimed to furnish you with comprehensive information about the support we offer, this guide is a testament to our commitment to providing you and the fleets you serve with the knowledge and resources necessary to succeed in the ever-evolving world of fleet management.
Our connected support ecosystem
Support at Geotab builds upon a well-trained Partner ecosystem. Many Customers engage with the Partner from whom they procure the majority of their Geotab subscriptions. Geotab Partners are all trained in the support of Geotab solutions. Some Geotab solutions require additional expert training for Partners to be certified in order to support the implementation and provide ongoing support.
Geotab also provides support directly to Customers — for example, where a Customer holds a direct support agreement with Geotab, or where a Partner has arranged for Geotab to manage support on their behalf. Geotab is committed to all of our Customers: whatever your support model, you are always welcome to reach out to Geotab Support for assistance with Geotab products and services.
Unless supported directly by Geotab, Geotab Partners are responsible for the Customer Support for their respective Customers and must maintain in-house training and technical knowledge of the Geotab solutions that they sell. Alternatively, Geotab Partners may outsource such support to a Geotab approved organization. Refer to the Geotab Partner Policies for more details regarding certain Customer support obligations that must be fulfilled by Partners.
User authentication process
Geotab is committed to robust information security, continuously enhancing its security measures in an ongoing effort to protect Partners and Customers.
Geotab team members will never share Customer information (for example, asset locations or account details) without proper authentication. Exporting Customer data or editing Compliance logs/annotations is strictly prohibited.
Geotab Support can guide Partners and Customers with database modification inquiries as part of our support process. To ensure privacy and security, we follow these account authentication procedures:
- Obtain user identity, including the full name of the person contacting Support (Partner representative or Customer), the Customer's full name, and the company or database name.
- Confirm MyAdmin (Global User) or Basic Authentication Security Standards.
- Confirm User Profile in the MyGeotab Database.
- Determine User’s Security Clearance and Data Access Level.
✱ NOTE: For general support questions, RMAs, and forced password resets, no authentication is required. This also applies to inquiries that do not need database access, such as basic troubleshooting, instructions, or general information about products or devices. Geotab Support can assist with these matters without considering your security clearance or data access level.
Visit our Geotab Security Center to learn more about Geotab’s security and privacy policies.
Self-initiated tools
Geotab is committed to streamlining processes and fostering autonomy by providing tools that allow our Customers and Partners to independently resolve their queries without the immediate need to engage with a Geotab Support agent. This section highlights our suite of self-service tools, each crafted to enhance the Geotab experience for users by offering targeted support and resources. These tools can be used by both Customers and Partners who use Geotab products.
Geotab Virtual Agent Live Chat
Geotab users can get immediate assistance 24/7 through our chat feature, accessible from the Geotab Support Site, MyGeotab, or our Homepage. The user’s experience will start with the Geotab Virtual Agent (GVA), an AI-powered chatbot designed to provide instant answers to your questions. Users can ask to speak with a live support agent at any point in the conversation. Live Chat is available in English, French, and Spanish.

Geotab’s Major Incident Management for Critical Issues
For critical system failures or significant performance issues impacting Geotab's core services and servers (typically corresponding to Priority 1/ Priority 2 scenarios), Geotab has a dedicated Major Incident Management (MIM) team to manage the incident response. Following your initial contact with Geotab Support for such urgent issues, our Support team will engage the MIM team internally as needed. For detailed information about the On-Call process, please refer to the Geotab On-Call Services document.
Service Level Objectives (SLOs)
The following table provides additional information regarding the Priority Levels along with the timeframe for each target used by Geotab to prioritize support requests. Priority defines the order in which an issue will be resolved. The Priority category depends both on the Impact (initially provided by the Requester) and Urgency (as determined by Geotab Support) levels. For more information, refer to the Appendix A: Priority matrix, Impact and Urgency to understand Geotab’s Priority matrix.
The following Priority Levels and SLOs apply to Geotab products and services, including Geotab hardware, MyGeotab, and Geotab Drive. The SLOs outlined herein are objectives only; Geotab will use commercially reasonable efforts to meet these SLOs.
! IMPORTANT: Geotab’s goal is to respond to and resolve 80% of all Support requests within the SLOs in the following table.
The following table describes the types of SLOs that correspond to each Priority Level respectively.
Target | Description |
First Response SLO | The initial notice to the Requester confirming receipt by Geotab of the support request. |
Update SLO | Updates provided on resolution activities. |
Workaround SLO | A temporary solution to restore service as quickly and as safely as possible if/when available. ✱ NOTE: A workaround may not always be possible, in which the case timeframe defaults to Resolution SLO. |
Resolution SLO | A permanent fix based on the root cause. |
Priority Level | First Response SLO | Update SLO | Workaround SLO | Resolution SLO |
Priority 1 | 30 minutes after a Trouble Ticket is created through Phone Support or from the time of reclassification by Geotab. | Every 1 hour from receipt of initial notice. | 4 hours from receipt of initial notice. | 2 calendar days from receipt of initial notice. |
Priority 2 | 4 hours after a Trouble Ticket is created through Phone Support or from the time of reclassification by Geotab. | Every 2 hours from receipt of initial notice. | 24 hours for degradation from receipt of initial notice. 8 hours for outages. | 7 calendar days from receipt of initial notice. |
Priority 3+ | 8 hours within the support hours of operation for the channel handling the case (see How Geotab measures SLOs) and 24 hours on weekends. | As agreed upon with the Customer or Partner within the ticket. | 24-48 hours from receipt of initial notice. | 7 calendar days from receipt of initial notice. |
Priority 3 | 24 hours | As agreed upon with the Customer or Partner within the ticket. | N/A | 15 calendar days from receipt of initial notice. |
Priority 4 | 24 hours | As agreed upon with the Customer or Partner within the ticket. | N/A | 42 (6 weeks) calendar days from receipt of initial notice. |
✱ IMPORTANT: The SLOs set out above apply to Geotab products and services and do not apply to third-party product or services including, but not limited to, OEM Telematics Data products and solutions, products ordered from Order Now, and Marketplace products if and when they require involvement from third-parties. SLOs for these third-party products may vary, as they require involvement from third-parties.
The following items are not classified as standard Geotab Support requests and are excluded from these SLOs:
- Product feedback (previously referred to as “Feature Request”): Product ideas, feature suggestions, and usability feedback are handled by Geotab's Product team, not Support, and are therefore excluded from the SLOs above. Submit feedback using the Provide Feedback button at the bottom of the Geotab Support Center home page, or the Send Feedback form in MyGeotab (bottom-left, under Support). All submissions are reviewed and routed to the appropriate product team; an individual response is not guaranteed. For details on each channel — including the Geotab Product Research Program.
- New engine data request for an unsupported vehicle: Handled by Geotab's Product team, not Support. Submit a Vehicle Data Request using the same Provide Feedback form on the Geotab Support Center home page.
- Billing, order, and fulfillment inquiries: Geotab Support serves as the initial point of contact. We ensure that your inquiries are properly reviewed and directed to the appropriate team within Geotab or Partner for further assistance.
How Geotab measures SLOs
We measure two clocks per case, against the targets in the table above:
- First Response — from case creation to the first reply to the requester.
- Resolution — from case creation to resolution.
One rule governs: the clock runs only while the case is in Geotab's hands to action. It pauses whenever progress depends on someone other than Geotab — specifically while the case is in Waiting for Requester, Solution Provided, or Waiting for 3rd Party (e.g. awaiting an OEM, carrier, or other external provider). These and all other ticket statuses are defined in Appendix B: Geotab Support ticket status. These periods do not count toward the Resolution SLO. Time is counted as calendar time within the service window.
Measurement windows: SLO timers run against the hours of operation of the support line handling the case — 24/7 for Customer Support, and 24 hours a day, Monday–Friday (weekends excluded) for Partner Technical Support. This applies to all priority levels. Priority 1 and Priority 2 are handled by Geotab's Major Incident Management (MIM) function, which operates 24×7.

Appendix
Appendix A: Priority matrix, Impact and Urgency
Ticket Priority (Impact and Urgency)
Priority defines the order in which an issue will be resolved as determined by Geotab. The Priority category depends both on the Impact (initially provided by the Partner or Customer) and Urgency (as determined by Geotab Support) levels. Geotab Support organizes issues into one of the following levels of priority:
Critical Impact | High Impact | Medium Impact | Low Impact | |
Critical-level Urgency | P1 | P2 | P3+ | P3 |
High-level Urgency | P2 | P2 | P3 | P4 |
Medium-level Urgency | P3+ | P3 | P3 | P4 |
Low-level Urgency | P3 | P4 | P4 | P4 |
Support tickets submitted through, MyAdmin, MyGeotab, Phone Support, Live Chat, and the Geotab Support Site are automatically categorized at Priority Level 4 or Priority Level 3 before they are triaged and (in the case of a Partner or Customer-initiated Support request) the submitted urgency is assessed and validated by Geotab Support for priority. Geotab Support may move the Priority Level from 4 or 3, to 3+, 2 or 1.
Ticket Impact
The Impact Level is the degree to which the issue affects the Customer. By providing an Impact Level, Geotab Support is able to correctly define the Priority and categorize tickets submitted by Partner and Customers.
The following table describes the levels of Impacts, with example conditions for each Level.
Impact Level | Description |
Critical |
|
High |
|
Medium |
|
Low |
|
Ticket Urgency
The Urgency Level is classified based on the functionality impact to the MyGeotab software, Geotab devices, and other Geotab services. It is important to understand that Geotab Support assigns the Urgency Level, taking into account the Impact as reported by the Partner or Customer.
