How does it work

Wakeo offers two main solutions to connect and share your data to the customer:

Telematics / ELD
  • Tracking with telematics / electronics logging devices (ELD) is a simple and efficient way to provide visibility to the customer. With Wakeo’s out-the-book connectors to 1000+ systems, you can share your trucks' positions with your customers and ensure you provide the best tracking visibility.
APIs / EDI
  • If your fleet is not equipped with telematics / ELD systems, or if you are not able to share that data with your customers, you can use our API systems. They let you deliver shipment updates to your customers automatically, without manual input or dependence on external systems.

Road Carriers Onboarding FAQ

Why does my customer need Wakeo?

  • Wakeo is a SaaS platform that provides real-time, end-to-end visibility for multimodal shipments across sea, air, rail, and road. Its Real-Time Transport Visibility Platform (RTTVP) consolidates tracking data from carriers and freight forwarders, giving shippers clear insight into the location of their freight. Your customer wants to use Wakeo to gain greater supply chain visibility — and your support is key to making that possible.

Why should I share my truck tracking data?

  • Wakeo requires your truck position to provide real-time data to your customers. They will receive real time shipment updates (when the truck is leaving or arriving at destination) and be able to find shipment status without calling you or relying on multiple systems. 
  • Working with Wakeo helps you to provide high-quality service by meeting the visibility standards that customers now expect.

How does telematics / ELD integration work? What am I sharing exactly? How do you use my data?

  • Wakeo collects GPS truck positions through telematics / electronics logging devices (ELD) . We retrieve what you decide to share with us in order to understand where the truck is and to be able to provide an estimated date of arrival to your customer.
  • We never use your tracking data outside of the load’s duration and your customer will never be able to understand where your truck is coming from and where it goes next.
  • We have created hundreds of out-of-the box telematics / ELD connectors with the most important telematics / ELD but we are also able to connect directly to your system if you can push us directly the GPS positions.

Is my data secure?

  • Your data security is our top priority. We only share your information with the customers you authorize, and we never resell your data.
  •  Our solution is hosted in Europe, fully GDPR compliant, and undergoes regular penetration testing throughout the year to maintain the highest security standards.

What if I don’t have the resources to use your APIs?

  • We understand all carriers do not have the IT resources to connect to our systems and to build API connectors. We have a wide range of integration solutions and a delivery team to help you identify the best one for you, the one which is going to work. 

Does it cost something?

  • No! Everything is free of charge for the carriers. Even in the case of API integration where services are required, the costs are covered by your customer.

How does it work with subcontractors?

  • Our system is built to handle multiple levels of subcontractors. Our delivery team will guide you through this process. Your customer will never be aware of it if you don’t want to. 

How does API / EDI integration work?

  • API and EDI integrations work by directly connecting your system with Wakeo so that shipment updates, such as truck departures or arrivals, are automatically shared in real time. Through APIs, your system communicates with Wakeo seamlessly, eliminating the need for manual updates. If needed, Wakeo’s technical team can also set up and manage the integration for you to ensure a smooth and efficient process.
