Handling common support requests

 

Support and Training

It is always better to submit a support ticket with details on your issue so we can research the issue and call you back. The most convenient tool is inside your MyFleetistics.com account.

Opening a service ticket will require less of your time and enables us to do the research before calling you. We recognize our phones are often busy because we are helping customers but also calling customers back to ensure satisfaction. Creating a case will time stamp the request so we can monitor our response times.

You can follow ticket progress at MyFleetistics>Help Center>Cases

 

Option 1 Support Case

Click the icon in the top right corner of the MyFleetistics interface. Here you can contact Fleetistics for almost anything from a technical issue, to billing question, to making a website recommendation.

 

Option 2 Device Status Module – Open Support Case

You should be monitoring all devices from your device status table. Click the icon to the right to open a case for a specific vehicle. This process will send Fleetistics device information so you do not have to provide as much detail.

If you are having device issues or want to learn more about installation click below to view more instructions and videos.

Installation can generally be done by a customer but enterprise fleets typically outsource to a professional GPS installation company. Fleetistics can refer someone or project manage the process which is well worth the added investment. Custom branded and produced installation training videos are also available from Fleetistics for enterprise customers.

Fleetistics Support and Training

 

There are several issues which may prevent you from logging into MyFleetistics. Go through these steps to potentially resolve the issue without having to contact the helpdesk.

 

  • Check the system status on the upper left of the login page. If the status is marked Green, no issues, continue to the next step.
  • If you receive a server or system error (page does not load properly) follow the instructions below to clear your browser cache. If the issue continues during work hours let us know using the Feedback button on the left. After hours call the support line 800-481-1319 and support personnel will be notified. Read more on the Contact Us tab below.

For User Name or Password issues, see tabs above.

Users are associated with unique emails. Your email must be added by your account administrator before you can login. It is easiest if your account administrator adds your or your account administrator emails a request to support. You will not be added if you call support and we have not received approval from your account administer.

 

  • You must be an authorized user by your account administrator to access MyFleetistics. For security, only approved users are enabled by Fleetistics. If you are not approved, your GPS program manager can add you to the MyFleetistics portal.
  • If you previously had access and have completed the password reset steps using the tab above, contact support by opening a support ticket or call 800-481-1319.
  • Geotab users, only change your password in MyFleetistics, never in a GPS platform. Single sign-on is controlled through MyFleetistics. If you have already done this, use the Password Reset function on the Login page to sync your login credentials.
  • Sharing passwords causes issues we cannot predict or resolve. Every user should have unique login credentials. This is also important for tracking who makes what changes in the system so an audit trail is available.
  • If the problem persists or you need to add a new user, contact the help desk using help@fleetistics.com.

There are several ways to contact the help desk. Since we are often on the phones it is a good idea to submit your issue to the support queue and let a support representative research it and call or email with a solution instead or more questions. All support inquiries must include: First and last name, Company, Phone number, best time to call and a description of your issue. The more details the quicker and more accurate the response will be. Screen captures are always helpful.

        • Call 800-481-1319
        • If your business needs IT help, speak with your account manager about IT managed services from our sister company IGTech365.com. IGTech365 provides help desk, remote networking, websites, hosting, computer monitoring, security, VoIP and Office 365 for small and medium businesses.
