Interfaces for telematics integration

When telematics systems or specifically the GPS Fleet software are to be introduced in large companies, interfaces to other company systems play a major role. High reliability and minimal risk of downtime are crucial here.

How can logbooks and the generated data be exported and further processed?
How can software users and logins be managed automatically?
How can drivers be automatically created and deactivated for telematics via interfaces?
How can vehicles and vehicle data be imported into the software?

Interfaces for the exchange of vehicle data

Many functions can be partially automated using modern JSON APIs:

Create vehicles and devices with master data
Create and manage cost centers and vehicle groups
Create geofence areas and construction sites in the GPS Fleet software
Retrieval of logbooks and/or live tracking
Calling up mileage and operating hours

Interfaces for personnel master data

Interfaces for personnel master data (drivers and users) are absolutely essential nowadays. Only with the right personnel data interfaces can the drivers’ data be correct and the users have secure access to the GPS Fleet software.

LDAP Azure AD and Entity ID

Azure AD (Azure Active Directory) is Microsoft’s cloud-based identity service for managing users in an organization. Using an interface connection to your Azure (or the local LDAP variant) , users or drivers can be created in the GPS Fleet software and users can be accessed securely and conveniently via SAML using single sign-on (SSO) without passwords. It is also possible to use the EntityID as a unique identifier in authentication protocols such as SAML.

MS365 SAML

SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) is a modern Microsoft standard for the exchange of authentication information between e.g. LDAP or Azure AD and the GPS Fleet software. SAML makes it possible for users or drivers who are already logged into their Microsoft environment to access the GPS Fleet software without having to authenticate themselves again. This is an advantage for the user in terms of convenience (no password reset), it’s faster and it’s even more secure because IT can prevent users who have left the company from gaining access to the GPS Fleet software

Microsoft SCIM

The GPS Fleet software also accesses SCIM (System for Cross-domain Identity Management) to synchronize user data (e.g. from Azure AD) into the GPS Fleet software. This usually involves driver data and driver emails. Using SCIM automates the process of adding, updating and deleting users so that the master data in the GPS Fleet software is always properly maintained.

Microsoft Power Bi

Power BI is a business intelligence platform from Microsoft that allows companies to analyze data from various sources and visualize it in interactive dashboards. By connecting the GPS Fleet software to Power BI, fleet data can be automatically transferred and analyzed. A major advantage: the data updates itself without any manual intervention. Dashboards and reports can be customized and sent automatically. This gives companies up-to-date insights into their fleet performance at all times and enables them to make informed decisions.
