(Coming soon) Enter VIN to fill out vehicle data

Mapon platform will soon be able to fill out various information fields automatically if you provide a vehicle identification number (VIN). These include make, model, gross weight, and more. Over time, the update will also be applied to vehicles that are already in the platform and have VIN. The system will only update empty fields.

Having larger numbers of standardised data will ensure that different reports and automations are more accurate. The solution will also save you time by filling fields automatically.

More information about unsuccessful tachograph data download

Tachograph files are marked with condition labels valid, warning, or invalid. You can filter files by status. Hover your mouse over the status to see what went wrong with the download. You can also check how many unsuccessful downloads happened since the last good one.

See actual and planned route in one map

When using Tasks and routes solution, you can see where the driver is actually going compared to the originally planned route. History section lets you see if an already finished trip deviated from the assigned route.

Why planning routes is essential for long haul companies

We had a chat with our client LatIgMa about Mapon’s Task and route planner, as well as other solutions.

Essentially, if a route is estimated at 500 kilometres but ends up being 600, the company pays extra for fuel and time. With Mapon, the dispatcher can define the exact route the vehicle should take. The driver then follows it via the Mapon Driver app, reducing the risk of longer or less efficient routes.
