What telematics allows you:
A. Track your transports in real time from Dashdoc:
👋 What are the interests for you?
Gain visibility on current transport 👀
Gain efficiency by centralizing your transport tracking on Dashdoc ⏱️
View the telematics traces of the transport (blue dots), as well as the last known position of the vehicle (truck icon) from the map available in your transport details.
☝️ Prerequisites for displaying telematics in Dashdoc
For the telematics traces to be displayed on your transport, remember to enter the hours requested when creating your transport.
Dashdoc uses the telematics of the truck 2 hours before and until 2 hours after the time requested for collection and delivery, and this within the limit of a 2 hour slot max.
Ex :
Time requested entered: 3 p.m. ✅
Dashdoc will call telematics between 1 p.m. and 5 p.m.
Time requested entered: between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. ✅
Dashdoc will call telematics between 12 p.m. and 6 p.m.
Time requested entered: between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. ❌
Dashdoc will not make a telematic call because the time slot is greater than 2 hours
You have not entered anything in the requested hours, ❌
Dashdoc automatically displays 00h to 23h59 = No telematics feedback
☝️ These data are only visible from the carrier's account, and are not accessible to third parties who have access to the transport (ordering party, site...).
B. Report the actual distances traveled for a transport (e.g. help with billing per km, CO2 calculation, empty km calculation, etc.)
👋 What are the interests for you?
Invoice as accurately and quickly when you have prices per km traveled ⏱️
Co2 calculation more refined because based on the actual distance traveled and not the estimated distance usually displayed 🌍
Exportable data if you wish to calculate the empty km traveled by your vehicles 📊
Where to find the distance traveled ?
1 - Click on the desired transport
2 - In the header, view the distance traveled
3 - By clicking on it you will be able to view:
the mileage of the truck at each stage
the distance traveled by the truck between each stage
the total distance traveled by the truck, between the place of departure and the place of arrival (the approach kilometers are not included)
🚀 If you invoice with Dashdoc, the price to be invoiced will automatically update with the distance traveled. A guaranteed time saver !
Do you use Dashdoc for the consignment note and would like to know more about our TMS?
Contact us!
In the event that no telematic distance information is returned, check that you have entered the hours requested for your transport (to find out more click here)
Modify a distance reported by telematics:
It is possible to modify the distances calculated by telematics, by entering the desired value manually.
To go back and use the value calculated from the mileages retrieved via telematics again, you can use the icon on the right.
You can easily identify the source of the value via the icon on the left: manually entered distance / distance calculated from telematics.
Export distance traveled data:
The distance traveled is available for export for all your own transport.
Use the data to push your analyzes and optimization study (ex: calculation of empty km)

C. Detect your site arrivals and departures (e.g. waiting time calculation)
👋 What are the interests for you?
Make your waiting time data more reliable and invoice as accurately as possible
Follow the quality of the data of your driver entries by mobile application 📊
If no mobile application: update the transport progress statuses thanks to detection site arrivals and departures 📍✔️
☝️ Pre-requisites: have well geolocated sites & fill in requested hours
When you create an order with a specific address, Dashdoc automatically associates a GPS point with this address, with a default detection radius of 500m.
For Dashdoc to activate the detection of site arrivals and departures, you must:
GPS coordinates have been verified.
that the hours requested are indicated on the transport
1. To check your GPS addresses:
Go to Address Book
Menu: pick-up and delivery address
Select the address to verify
Check the GPS coordinates of the address
move the slider to adjust it to the actual position of the vehicle entrance
adjust the detection radius (ex below: 100 m vs 500 m by default).
Register
ex: if you have a collection or delivery address with only a city or the name of a road mentioned, the qualification of the precise sites is important for the continuation
2. Fill in the dates requested in your transport
For loading:
Dashdoc seeks to detect a truck on site 2 hours before and 2 hours after the scheduled slot.
Ex: If you have entered a scheduled time on the pick-up site between 8am and 10am, Dashdoc will be able to detect the truck between 6am and 12pm. ✅
If the truck arrives more than 2 hours late, it will not be detected. ❌
For the delivery :
Failing to retrieve a telematic position, Dashdoc will in any case detect the time and the position of the truck as soon as the driver completes his mission from his mobile application (without constraints on the scheduled times).
View site arrival and departure data in Dashdoc:
From the transport detail: hover your mouse over the small (i) visible at the level of the actual hours filled in by the clocking of the drivers
The actual hours displayed & taken into account for the progress of the transport statuses remain the hours pointed out by the drivers from the mobile application.
Times detected by geofencing are displayed for informational purposes only.
Thanks to data exports: You can export the dates and times of arrival and departure from the pick-up and delivery site of your transport missions.
This data will allow you to calculate your telematics based wait times
Do not hesitate to compare this information with the waiting times based on driver validations on the mobile application.
❓ If the detection does not work on a transport:
Check that your sites are well geolocated, with an appropriate radius. A truck is considered to be on site as soon as it enters the blue circle.
Check that the correct tractor plates have been assigned on the transport
Check that the transport is correctly planned (with hours requested within the limit of a 2 hour slot).
D. Enable ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival)
👋 What are the interests for you?
Gain visibility on your execution follow-up 👀
Give visibility and offer a high quality transport service to your customer 🤝
The ETA corresponds to the expected time of arrival of a truck at a transport site.
If your sites are correctly geolocated, Dashdoc allows you to display the ETA on your transports.
How to activate the calculation of ETA (estimated time of arrival) on your transport?
When creating a shipment: at each stage entered (collection, delivery), check the "ETA" box if you wish to activate the ETA calculation for this site.
From the detail of a transport: from the transport detail page, by clicking on "Activate ETA" for each collection or delivery concerned.
☝️ Pre-requisite to calculate ETA:
an address must be filled in and correctly geolocated,
a time or a time slot must be entered. In the case of a time slot, it must not exceed a duration of 2 hours.
For example, entering a delivery scheduled between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. is suitable (2 hour window).
On the other hand, entering a delivery scheduled between 12 p.m. and 6 p.m. does not activate the ETA (slot greater than 2 hours).
The estimated time of arrival is recalculated at regular intervals:
Every time we have an updated truck geolocation
But no more than once every 10 minutes
View the ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival) on your transport
The ETA will be displayed on the transport detail page, in the "Telematics" column.
It will appear 2 hours before the end of the requested time slot.
It stops calculating once the time slot has been exceeded, but the last calculated value will remain displayed.
Ex: if the loading is scheduled between 11 a.m. and noon, the ETA begins to be calculated and displayed at 10 a.m. (2 hours before the end of the slot). If at noon, the arrival time is estimated at 1:30 p.m., this estimated time ("1:30 p.m.") will no longer be updated but will remain displayed until 1:30 p.m.
The time of arrival on site is estimated on the telematic position of the vehicle and is crossed with the truck routes proposed by the "HERE" software.
This makes it possible to have an estimate closest to reality, taking into account the hazards and the real traffic.
ETA does not take driver break times into account.
☝️The calculated ETA (estimated time of arrival) is visible to all stakeholders with access to transport: carrier, principal, loading or delivery site...
E. Update of transport statuses by telematic detection 📍✔️ :
If you want the update of the status of your transport to be based on the detection of arrivals and departures from the site by telematics, it is possible.
This option allows you to follow the progress of your transport only from the GPS tracking of your tractors, without making your drivers use the mobile application.
⚠️ It is recommended to use either the mobile application or the automatic detection by geofencing. If your objective is to report field elements (e-cmr, tonnages, photos, etc.), we do not recommend that you activate this option.
How to activate this option?
Go to Settings > Vehicles > Telematics, and check the box "Enable geofencing".
As soon as the option is activated, the detected times of site arrivals and departures become visible from the accounts of all transport stakeholders (including the principal and the sites).
To learn more about Dashdoc's use of telematics data, you can refer to this article.
