Frequently Asked Questions

Can Merchants Onboard Visibility work without an external GPS device?

While the hardware is powered by advanced technologies, including Machine Vision and Artificial Intelligence, it does require a compatible Geotab telematics device and subscription to operate.

How do I access my recordings?

The hardware will natively link with your MyGeotab UI, allowing for simple retrieval of video events through an easy-to-use web portal.

What happens if my drivers are in an area with poor or weak GPS signals?

The hardware is equipped with a high-endurance SD card to save your recorded feed in case of poor network connection. A battery backup is also equipped to provide lasting power for parking mode.

How does Merchants Onboard Visibility receive telematics data?

The hardware connects with your existing Geotab telematics device to receive a feed of your vehicle and location data.

What are the main pain points when it comes to trucking logistics?

The transportation, and therefore trucking logistics, industry is constantly evolving, which means today’s pain points might be less so in a few months. But in general, pain points include tracking fuel spend and driver behavior and coordinating and managing trucking scheduling. Supply chain delays have also been a major challenge in recent years.

Can a fleet management company handle trucking logistics?

A fleet management company does not directly handle trucking logistics, but its services and products can be immensely valuable. A FMC will help your business or organization manage the data of fleet operations through innovative software such as TotalView and TotalConnect. Having data-driven analytics at your fingertips is extremely beneficial to streamlining operations and effectively managing logistics.
