What Salesforce editions support the Locate2u integration?

Locate2u integrates with Salesforce Professional, Enterprise, and Unlimited editions. The integration uses standard Salesforce APIs that are available across these tiers. If you use Salesforce Field Service, the integration can pull work orders and service appointments. If you use Sales Cloud or Service Cloud without Field Service, the integration can work with standard objects like opportunities, cases, or custom objects.

Integration Overview

Why Salesforce Users Need Dedicated Fleet Management

Salesforce Manages the Customer. Not the Fleet.

Salesforce is the world's leading CRM platform. With Field Service Lightning, it extends into work order management, technician scheduling, and appointment booking for service businesses. It excels at managing customer interactions, service agreements, and case resolution workflows.

However, Salesforce was built as a CRM, not a fleet operations platform. It lacks fleet-wide real-time GPS tracking across all vehicles simultaneously, multi-stop route optimization that accounts for vehicle capacity and delivery windows, vehicle health monitoring and fuel consumption analytics, and driver behavior scoring for safety management.

Locate2u bridges the gap between your Salesforce CRM and your physical fleet. Work orders and service appointments flow from Salesforce into Locate2u, routes are optimized for your vehicles, drivers execute via the mobile app, and completion data flows back into Salesforce records.

The Problem

Pain Points Salesforce Users Face with Fleet Operations

Great at CRM. Blind to Vehicle Operations.

Field Service schedules technicians, not delivery routes. Salesforce Field Service optimizes which technician visits which customer, but it cannot plan multi-stop delivery routes across a fleet of vehicles with capacity constraints and time windows.
No fleet-wide vehicle tracking. Salesforce can show a mobile worker's check-in location, but it cannot display all vehicles on a real-time map with continuous GPS updates, route adherence monitoring, and live ETA calculations.
No vehicle health or fuel data. Service businesses with fleets need to monitor vehicle maintenance schedules, fuel consumption, and mileage. Salesforce has no mechanism for tracking vehicle assets at this operational level.
Salesforce Maps is not fleet management. Salesforce Maps helps sales reps plan account visits. It does not track delivery vehicles in real time, monitor driver safety, or optimize routes for a fleet with vehicle-specific constraints.

How It Works

Connect Salesforce to Locate2u in Three Steps

Connect via Salesforce REST API. Authenticate using OAuth 2.0 with your Salesforce org. Locate2u reads work orders, service appointments, and account data. Custom objects are supported for specialized workflows.
Configure triggers and field mapping. Define which work order statuses or service appointment types create delivery jobs in Locate2u. Map Salesforce fields to delivery attributes. Set up Salesforce Flow automations for status writeback.
Go live with fleet-level tracking. Work orders flow to Locate2u, routes are optimized per vehicle, drivers execute via the mobile app, and completion data including POD writes back to Salesforce records in real time.

Feature Highlights

Fleet Capabilities That Salesforce Cannot Provide

Fleet-Wide GPS Tracking

Track every service vehicle across your fleet on a single live map. Go beyond Field Service check-ins to continuous, real-time vehicle positioning.

Delivery Route Optimization

Optimize multi-stop delivery routes across your fleet with time windows, vehicle capacity, and customer priorities from Salesforce records.

Vehicle Health Monitoring

Track maintenance schedules, engine diagnostics, and mileage for every vehicle in your service fleet. Prevent breakdowns that delay customer appointments.

Fuel Cost Analytics

Monitor fuel consumption by vehicle, driver, and route. Correlate fuel data with Salesforce service revenue to calculate true cost-to-serve per customer.

Proof of Delivery + Service

Capture photos, signatures, and service notes from the driver app. POD data syncs to Salesforce work orders, closing the service loop inside your CRM.

Driver Safety Scoring

Monitor harsh braking, speeding, and idle time. Use driver scorecards to reduce risk, lower fleet insurance costs, and improve service quality.

FAQ

Salesforce Fleet Management Questions

Salesforce does not include native fleet management. Field Service Lightning manages work orders, technician scheduling, and appointment booking, but it lacks fleet-wide GPS vehicle tracking, multi-stop route optimization for deliveries, vehicle health monitoring, fuel tracking, and driver behavior analytics. Locate2u adds these fleet operations capabilities on top of Salesforce.

Locate2u integrates with Salesforce through the Salesforce REST and Bulk APIs. Work orders, service appointments, accounts, and contact data sync from Salesforce to Locate2u. Delivery confirmations, proof of delivery photos, GPS timestamps, and driver status updates flow back into Salesforce as custom objects or updates to existing records.

Salesforce Field Service can show a technician's last known location when they check in to a work order, but it does not provide continuous real-time GPS tracking of vehicles. It cannot show live vehicle positions on a fleet map, calculate real-time ETAs based on traffic, or monitor vehicle health and fuel consumption.

Locate2u integrates with Salesforce Professional, Enterprise, and Unlimited editions. The integration uses standard Salesforce APIs available across these tiers. If you use Field Service, the integration can pull work orders and service appointments. If you use Sales Cloud or Service Cloud without Field Service, the integration can work with standard or custom objects.

Salesforce Maps is a territory planning and visit scheduling tool designed for sales reps. Locate2u is a fleet management and delivery operations platform that provides real-time GPS vehicle tracking, multi-vehicle route optimization with time windows and capacity constraints, driver behavior monitoring, fuel tracking, proof of delivery capture, and vehicle maintenance scheduling. They serve fundamentally different use cases.
