Purpose

FleetCare is a telematics provider used by most WA Government organisations.

PoolCar integrates with FleetCare

and relies on the telematics data for accurate odometer readings as well as trip and location data

to pull through the vehicle details of those vehicles marked as ‘Pool Car?’ in FleetCare.

How It Works

When customers come on board and require FleetCare

telematics

integration, PoolCar enables a robot in the back-end of the system

. PoolCar can then submit an API to FleetCare nightly to sync telematics data

. It is the customer's responsibility to flag the vehicles on the FleetCare portal to pull through to PoolCar. There should be a field in

their system named ‘PoolCar’

the FleetCare portal named ‘Pool Car?’ which can be

set to True or False

ticked/unticked.

Any ’assets’ (i.e. fuel cards, trackers, etc.) that we receive from FleetCare will be uploaded into the vehicle register - if that information is coming from FleetCare they'll appear in the next upload, even if those ‘assets' are not vehicles.

You

Customers will need to flag them as not pool cars

in FleetCare (there's an option on assets

in FleetCare

to have them sent to PoolCar).

Once the odometer readings are synced in PoolCar, the system will identify any key on to key off periods (trips) within the booked time and attribute the odometer value of those trips to the corresponding booking in PoolCar. The Internal Charging Report uses the charge out rates and the telematics data to calculate charges.

If the customer is actively managing the Servicing Register, it’s the odometer values from the telematics integration that’s used to determine how close the vehicle is to its next service date.

New Fleet Vehicles

The customer needs to

mark the ‘PoolCar’ field as ‘True’

tick the ‘Pool Car?’ box in the FleetCare Portal

. Note this will not be visible immediately but should appear the next day once the overnight robot has run.

I’ve ticked the PoolCar box in FleetCare… Where is my vehicle in PoolCar?

The vehicle will be added into PoolCar and will go into an ‘unassigned’ state and will need to be assigned to a Pool via the Asset Register.

Vehicles must

be flagged as non-PoolCar

have the tick removed from the ‘Pool Car?’ box, in FleetCare at least

1

one day ahead of deletion/deactivation within FleetCare due to a known limitation that results in PoolCar not being informed of a vehicle’s deletion via the API. This results in the vehicle not being automatically archived. Alternatively, if a vehicle

was

has been deleted from FleetCare and not archived in PoolCar then the vehicle can safely be archived in PoolCar manually.

Odometer Sync - currently deprecated by FleetCare

Once configured, the FleetCare robot will run overnight and pull the odometer readings into PoolCar.

PoolCar will identify any key on to key off periods (trips) within the booked time and attribute the odometer value of those trips to the corresponding booking in PoolCar. The Internal Charging Report uses the charge out rates and the telematics data to calculate charges.

If the customer is actively managing the Servicing Register, it’s the odometer values from the telematics integration that’s used to determine how close the vehicle is to its next service date.
