Prerequisite
Before allocating a vehicle license plate to a transport, you must first add vehicles through a GPS integration to Transporeon Visibility. Learn here how to complete this initial setup.
Allocation options
There are several methods for allocating a vehicle to a transport. You can do this manually through the user interface of Transporeon Visibility or Transporeon Web, or automatically by connecting your in-house system to Transporeon Visibility through the Transporeon Visibility API.
Below you'll find step-by-step instructions for each of these methods:
