Telematics

Bring real-time vehicle data like fuel level, odometer, and more into your fleet dashboard.

Overview

Telematics provides live insights into your vehicles by connecting directly to their onboard systems. It tracks information such as engine status, battery, and fuel level – all viewable within your Bee Maps dashboard.

With fleet telematics, it unlocks real-time data that improves operational efficiency, reduces costs, and increases safety and supports ELD legal compliance.

This feature is powered by DIMO, a device that plugs into the vehicle’s OBD-II port and automatically sends vehicle data to your fleet dashboard.

Install and Setup

  1. Plug in the device

    1. Install the DIMO device into your vehicle’s OBD-II port.

    2. It will power on automatically and come online within 1–2 minutes.

  2. View in dashboard

    1. Login to your dashboard

  3. Pair with Bee

    1. If not yet linked to a Bee device, the pairing column will show “Pair Device.”

    2. Click “Pair Device” and select the matching Bee driver.

Start using it

Once paired, telematics data will automatically appear on the Driver → Details page, updating in near real-time.

You’ll see key vehicle information such as:

  • Vehicle Make, Model, and Year

  • VIN#

  • Location

  • Engine ignition - On or Off

  • Engine error codes

  • Engine Hours

  • Battery level

  • Fuel level

  • Odometer readings

  • Plugged In or Unplugged

If the DIMO device is unplugged, fleet managers will see this through their dashboard, alerting them of potential bad behavior from their drivers.
