How to process Geotab orders

End-to-end process document detailing steps needed to fulfil Geotab orders

Order Placement

The Geotab customer places an order via Geotab's MyAdmin platform.

Geotab confirm the purchase order with Matrix via email from purchasing@geotab.com. That email converts to a HubSpot Ticket in the Supply Chain pipeline.

When the order is approved by Geotab, a packing slip is sent to Matrix via email from ar@geotab.com. That email converts to a HubSpot Ticket in the 'Archive' Pipeline.

HubSpot Preparation

Merge Tickets

Merge the packing slip ticket with the purchase order ticket in the Supply Chain Pipeline:

    • In the purchase order ticket, copy the 'Sales No' from the GeotabPurchaseOrderConfirmation attachment
    • In the purchase order ticket, click 'Actions' then 'Merge'
    • Paste the copied Sales No into 'Select a record'
    • Select the returned record
    • Click 'Merge'

Associate Records

Associate and label Company records affiliated to the order:

    • Open the Packing Slip email in the Ticket and retrieve Company Name from "Customer Info"
    • Click 'Add' in the Companies tab
    • Search for the Company to associate an existing Company record
      • If record exists:
        • Select Company and click 'Next'
        • Click the option to replace Geotab as the primary Company
        • Click 'Add association label'
        • Select 'End User'
        • Click 'Save'
      • If no record exists:
        • Message Phil Powell and ask for a relevant Company record on HubSpot
        • When the record is confirmed by Phil, follow the steps above to associate the record.

      Business Central Preparation

      Review Ticket details, including Comments in the Packing Slip email before creating the SOR in Business Central.

      SKU, quantity and values are sourced from the Purchase Order attachment on the Ticket.

      Hardware Preparation

      Importing

      An IMEI needs an associated Geotab Serial Number. This is retrieved via the import procedure in V6.

      Only one unit type can be imported at one time. For example, an order for tag iQ cards and rugged tag iq units must be imported separately.

            • Confirm with Company owner or Phil Powell the hierarchy needed for the Company
