How Geotab Keyless works
The system works on practically every modern vehicle and installation is simple . The Keyless unit plugs into the GO device , and the GO device into the OBDII port . Geotab maintains the security of the digital keys throughout its lifecycle . Coupling the lock control functionality provided by IOX-KEYLESS with Geotab ’ s massive proprietary vehicle diagnostics database creates a secured and reliable shared-mobility solution for commercial fleets .
In addition , we have a number of Add-On solutions that are particularly useful for vehicle fleets including crash and tow detection , incabin connected cameras , big data analysis toolkits , and the ability to expand functionality in the vehicle using available commercial , off-theshelf IOX hardware .
Changes in mobility have led to a need for new business tools . Digitisation of the keyfobs itself is one of these tools . Another is a method for remotely assigning their drivers to their vehicles . In the case of public car sharing , this means one user can book a specific vehicle with some ( if minimal ) advance notice . For government and corporate carpooling , this might mean allowing the user to reserve vehicles in the same way they might reserve a meeting room .
For simple key management , a set of drivers could share access to a particular vehicle simultaneously for many months . We decided the best way to serve our customers was to partner with best-in-class software companies to provide market-focused solutions for each of these areas .
