Automatically create Geotab vehicles as assets in SafetyCulture

Learn how to automatically create Geotab vehicles as assets in SafetyCulture.

What is Geotab?

Geotab is a worldwide leader in IoT fleet management that pairs in-vehicle hardware with cloud software to capture real-time data. It helps businesses monitor vehicles and equipment, improve safety measures, and run more efficient operations.

An example of the Geotab fleet management software.

Connect Geotab to automatically create vehicles as assets in SafetyCulture. The integration brings in three data points for each vehicle: engine runtime, odometer, and GPS location. Furthermore, you can rely on automatic updates when details change in Geotab and manage your assets easily with inspection schedules, actions, preventative maintenance, and more.

This integration currently doesn't support trailers and equipment in Geotab that don't have a Geotab device installed.

Automatically create Geotab vehicles as assets in SafetyCulture

  1. Log in to the web app.

  2. Click your organization name on the lower-left corner of the page and select Integrations.

  3. Search for "Geotab" and select the integration. Search for Geotab integration via the web app.

  4. Click Install at the center of the page.

  5. In the pop-up window, click Install.

  6. Enter your Geotab account details and the database. You can find the database in your Geotab app's URL. For example, if your URL is "https://my.geotab.com/assets/", then your database is "assets". Install and configure Geotab integration via the web app.

  7. Click Connect.

  8. The integration will now perform the following tasks:

    • Create a "Geotab vehicle"asset type with all the Geotab vehicle details as custom fields. If an asset type named "Geotab vehicle" already exists, that type will be updated with the required custom fields.

    • Check if each Geotab vehicle already exists in SafetyCulture by checking its "Vehicle Name" against each asset's "Unique ID":

      • If a match is found, update the asset's type with the fields required for the integration and update the asset itself with the vehicle details.

      • If a match is not found, create the vehicle as a new asset.

When installing for the first time, the integration may take some time to sync data into SafetyCulture as assets.
