Fleetilla Connect - a web service interface to equipment and sensor data
Remotely monitoring equipment and sensor information without the need to install software is a compelling benefit. However, you may have a need for integrating this information into other enterprise systems such as equipment maintenance system, SCADA software, asset management system, ERP, etc. You can accomplish this seamlessly with Fleetilla's Fleetilla Connect interface.
And we’ve made it simple. With Fleetilla's Fleetilla Connect interface, integrating equipment and sensor data into your existing software systems can be done in hours instead of months. Fleetilla Connect is open and built around industry-standard conventions and protocols. With the documentation and sample program that we provide, you’ll be up and running quickly.
Fleetilla Connect is an optional service available to those who need to integrate Fleetilla data into other programs in real-time. Whether you use Fleetilla Connect or not, Fleetilla's simple and intuitive web-based remote monitoring system (FleetFACTZ) is available for all your needs.
What is Fleetilla Connect?
Organizations often have a need for equipment and sensor data (equipment location, fault codes, pressure, level, flow, temperature, etc. ) in other programs such as ERP, maintenance and repair, SCADA software, asset management system, etc. Fleetilla Connect uses web services API to integrate real-time equipment and sensor data from the Fleetilla website into your most important applications.
Do I need to use Fleetilla Connect to use the Fleetilla system?
No! Fleetilla's web-based, real-time application provides plenty of features and tools for you to manage your equipment and sensor information without installing any software on your computer and without any IT staff. Fleetilla Connect is needed only if you want to seamlessly integrate equipment and sensor information into other business systems.
What level of expertise is needed to use Fleetilla Connect?
In order to use Fleetilla Connect, you will need someone with reasonable experience in developing Internet applications.
