Welcome

At Geotab, we work hard to build safe and reliable tools that make sense for your business, and your feedback is an essential part of that process. Geotab’s MyPreview federation is available for our Customers and Partners to access pre-production releases of MyGeotab and Geotab Drive.

We would like to invite you to gain early access to what’s new in development and the MyGeotab user experience. To get early visibility to our latest features, create a Preview server and explore what is coming soon.

What to expect

Early access to new features allows you to explore and test your direct integrations against our pre-production federation. This allows you to close the gap and reduce the risk of your integrations by detecting any missed corner cases before they impact you as the Customer.

Early testing helps drive and streamline the user experience for Fleet Managers and Drivers across the ecosystem.

The MyPreview databases are on the current release version of the MyGeotab application, and include features that are not yet enabled on the Production database.

You can register a new database by following the steps described in the next section to see all the latest and greatest features for the upcoming releases in MyGeotab. Use the MyPreview database to complete any integration testing to ensure a smooth rollout!

Selecting asset groups for Extendable Services

When using Extendable Services, you may add as many assets as you like to populate your Preview database, keeping in mind that a nominal monthly fee will apply to each asset for as long as they are active in your Preview database. We recommend choosing assets that are producing data representative of your user experience and that may generate data that is being shared by the API with third parties or solutions. If you have an expert in-house trainer on the Geotab platform, we suggest you pick a group or region where your in-house expert can develop communications for your MyGeotab users.
