This integration links Webfleet’s vehicle GPS tracking with Traffio’s booking and scheduling software, giving you complete visibility into your fleet’s operations. You can view real-time location data to help monitor your fleet, ensure accountability, and improve vehicle efficiency.

Additionally, the integration tracks which drivers are assigned to each vehicle, using Traffio data as the main source (when enabled).

Note: If a driver uses a Webfleet identification to log on to a vehicle, any Traffio vehicle assignments will be discarded.

Webfleet Connection Options

The Webfleet integration can be configured with several options.

Sync Vehicle Odometers

Vehicle Odometer readings will be stored in either Kilometers (km) or Miles (m) based on your Traffio accounts configuration. By default Traffio will store odometer readings in Kilometers.

Sync Vehicle Tracker State

Stores the Webfleet Bluetooth device ID for vehicles against Traffio vehicles, allowing you to filter Traffio vehicles based on the Tracker ID or to filter out vehicles with/without trakckers installed.

Sync Driver Vehicle Assignments

Drivers in Traffio will be assigned to vehicles in Webfleet based on booking information as recorded in Traffio. Drivers are assigned 45 minutes before the configured time


Mapping Webfleet Drivers

Once a connection to Webfleet has been established, you can map drivers from Webfleet against emplooyees in Traffio using the Drivers tab of the Webfleet Connection.

Traffio will suggest driver mappings based on name matching. You’ll need to match each Webfleet driver with their corresponding employee in Traffio, click Save,

Note: Traffio does not create new driver entries in Webfleet. For new employees created in Traffio, you will need to create a driver in Webfleet and then map them in Traffio.


Mapping Webfleet Vehicles

Once a connection in Webfleet has been established, you can map vehicles from Webfleet against vehicles in Traffio using the Vehicles tab of the Webfleet Connection.

Traffio will suggest mappings against vehicles in Traffio by matching the VIN in Traffio against Webfleet Vehicles. Manually map vehicles using the dropdowns provided, then click the Save button to accept the mappings.
