Black Box Integration
Overview
Gearbox seamlessly integrates with Black Box via API every night to retrieve odometer and hourmeter readings. These readings play a crucial role in Gearbox for calculating Services Due and tracking running costs per hour/kilometer. Automatic readings sourced from telematics are preferred over manual entries due to their reduced susceptibility to user error. Furthermore, the API feed from Black Box ensures consistent and timely capture of readings.

Please Note: Gearbox uses vehicle 'Fleet Number' or 'Registration" to match Assets in Black Box using the 'Control Name' field, Please ensure these are matching within Gearbox and Black Box for the integration to work.
