I was invited to register, what do I have to do now?
The following steps are necessary to make your vehicles visible to your cooperation partner:
Your telematic system must be connected
The invitation from your cooperation partner must be accepted
All or selected vehicles must be shared with your cooperation partner
These three steps are explained below:
1. Connect your telematic system:
Once you have successfully registered with Drip (explained here), please log in to the Drip website.
Click on the connectivity area, to connect your telematic system to Drip.
This opens the "Telematic systems" subpage.
If this is not the case, please click on the icon (1) in the sidebar.
There, select the "ADD ACCOUNT" button (2). A menu will then open where you can choose your provider.
Use the search bar (1) to find your telematic system to find your telematic system — in this example, “Fleetboard” — and then select it from the list by clicking on it (2).
After making your selection, an input form will appear where you must enter your API credentials (1).
Please note that this may vary depending on the telematic system. You may also be required to enter other authentication data such as tokens, API keys, etc.
Instructions for obtaining the API credentials can be found directly below the input fields (2).
By clicking “ADD ACCOUNT” (3), the telematic system will be connected.
If the API credentials are correct, the status will be set to ‘Online’ within 10 minutes at the latest.
If your telematic system is not online after 10 minutes, you can contact our support team at support@drip-log.com.
2. Accept Invitation
The invitation from your cooperation partner will appear on the homepage every time you open DRIP. You can accept it directly from there.
Alternatively, you can also navigate to the ‘Network’ section in the left-hand side menu, go to the ‘Connected Companies’ (1) subpage, and accept the invitation there. (2)
If you do not accept the invitation, no vehicles can be shared with this cooperation partner.
Only the business partner with whom you share assets can see them, and these assets are limited to the vehicle data provided by the telematic system.
Furthermore, you can cancel the sharing of assets at any time.
3. Share/Make Vehicles Available
In the left side menu (1), the subpage “Connected Companies” must still be selected.
To share vehicles with a cooperation partner, click on the upward arrow icon in the Company section (see screenshot) (2).
A new overview will then open.
Here, you can either select an entire group, such as the “DEFAULT” group shown here (1).
If the “Share new assets” toggle is activated as shown here, all vehicles newly added to the “DEFAULT” group will automatically be shared with the selected cooperation partner.
By clicking the “Share asset(s)” button (2), this group will then be made available and visible to your cooperation partner.
There is also the option to share vehicles individually.
Use the search bar (1) to find the vehicle(s), select them by clicking on them (2) – newly added vehicles will not be shared automatically (3).
The number of selected vehicles is displayed here (4), and by clicking the “Share asset(s)” button (5), these vehicles will then be made available and visible to your cooperation partner.
If sharing was successful, the previously shared assets are also displayed in the overview.
In the overview of the shared assets, you will also find the option to stop sharing (unsubscribe) the assets.
