Bridgestone Webfleet

This article explains how to create a dedicated Webfleet user with WEBFLEET.connect access and what information you need to share with us so we can complete the integration.

Overview

To connect your Bridgestone Webfleet account to our platform, your Webfleet administrator must create a specific user with the correct access rights. We will then use this user to connect via WEBFLEET.connect and retrieve the live vehicle data required for tracking and reporting.

For our system to identify the vehicle to track, the registration number of the vehicle will need to ether be in the name or number section. 
You can edit these fields by going to https://live-wf.webfleet.com/web/vehicles selecting one vehicle in the bottom left of the screen selecting details, then edit.
