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 first step, select the "Connectivity" area on the start page.
The "Trusted Partner" subpage must then be selected in the left-hand side menu (1).
To share vehicles with the respective company, click on share vehicles shown below (2).
A new overview will open.
One possibility is to share individual vehicles.(1)
To do so, select a group (2) that contains the vehicles you want to share. Each account has a default group where all vehicles from the GPS system are automatically added.
You need to click on the default group to see all vehicles inside it.
All vehicles from the default group are now displayed. Please select the vehicles you want to share by clicking the checkbox in front of them (1).
Then click the 'SHARE SELECTED' button at the bottom right (2). The number of selected vehicles is shown to the left of the button. (in this case 3)
You can also share an entire group. Any vehicles added to the group later will be automatically shared with the chosen partner.
To do this, click on the 'GROUPS' tab to see all available groups. Select the group you want to share by clicking the box in front of it.
Then click the 'SHARE SELECTED' button at the bottom right. The number of selected groups is shown to the left of the button.
If sharing of the vehicles was successful, they are then also displayed in the overview.
To stop sharing individual vehicles or all vehicles, either click the checkbox above all vehicles (1) or the checkbox in front of a specific vehicle. Then click the 'STOP SHARING SELECTED' button (2) to end sharing."
