Vehicles are essential for operating the SolBox platform, as they are tasked with fulfilling delivery manifest assignments. Each vehicle must be linked to a manifest for effective tracking and delivery management. In addition to being assigned to a manifest, vehicles can also be associated with driver(s) for operational purposes.

The SolBox system tracks vehicle locations using GPS data collected through the mobile devices installed in the vehicles. This real-time tracking is displayed on the dashboard map and within each vehicle's profile. The location data is continuously updated while the vehicle is online, based on the connectivity of the vehicle’s mobile device.

If a vehicle goes offline, it means the system is no longer receiving real-time GPS data. In such cases, the dashboard will only display the last known location and timestamp when the vehicle was last online.

This article explains the vehicle assignment and tracking features, as well as how to interpret the vehicle's online/offline status and associated location data.

Update as of APRIL 2024:

Our system allows for the management of QR codes associated with vehicles. In case a customer prefers to use their own QR codes, they can easily do so within our platform. However, it's important to note that our drivers are required to scan the codes exclusively within the app scanner to ensure maximum security and accuracy. This means that all QR codes must be registered within our system to avoid any potential issues.
