How to start sharing

To set up EROAD’s Share feature a Share connection between two organisations has to be established before vehicles can be shared:

NOTE: Both organisations have to be EROAD customers, with vehicles on suitable vehicle plans.

  1. Invite a partner organisation to view your vehicles in MyEROAD.
  2. Select the vehicles you would like to share with them.
  3. Once your partner organisation has accepted your Share invitation they can view your shared vehicles in their Depot highlighted with a Share icon.

 

 1. Invite an organisation to view vehicles of your fleet:

  • Log into MyEROAD as a Client Administrator.
  • Go to new cogwheel3 > Administration > My Organisation.
  • In Outgoing Vehicle Sharing Details click Invite another organisation to view your vehicle locations and fill in the Share Invitation screen:

Name of organisation: Organisation to view your vehicles
Their email address: Address that will receive the share invitation
Optional message: Fill in as required

  • In Shared Feature, tick the features you would like to share:

Current Location: Share current location of your vehicles (mandatory)
Activity History: Share journey lines of your vehicles for the current day (optional)
Partner Gateway: Share Partner Gateway information (optional)
Over Speed Dashboard: Allow monitoring of shared vehicles on the organisation's Over Speed Dashboard (optional)
Leaderboard: Allow monitoring of shared vehicles on the organisation's Leaderboard and Driver Insight (optional)

NOTE: You can change the level of sharing by ticking or un-ticking shared features at a later stage. Your selection will apply to all vehicles shared with the organisation and includes previous sharing periods.

  • Temporarily un-share vehicles so that they are no longer visible for the Viewing Organisation or
  • Revoke a share connection with an organisation altogether.
