TomTom Opens Up API To Its Fleet GPS Tracking Device

TomTom announced yesterday the availability of an Application Programming interface (API) to its TomTom LINK device, the GPS tracking unit that is at the core of its fleet management technology.

“Our fleet management solutions already integrate seamlessly with hundreds of office systems but now we intend to expand our integration possibilities in the field,” said Thomas Schmidt, TomTom Business Solutions’ Managing Director.

The API will allow to link hardware system such as tire pressure sensors and temperature control units to the vehicle monitored through its Webfleet system.

Developers will be also able to integrate information that are not specifically vehicle related. “Companies can integrate devices for electronic signature capture and barcode scanning to provide immediate proof of delivery to head office, for example, or mobile printers for the production of customer invoices and receipts,“ explained Schmidt.
