What is Drivers

Use the Drivers module to manage and view the drivers in the organization. In the driver management module, you can manage the driver’s access to the SCALAR Cargo application.

Why use Drivers

Purpose I: Manage Drivers

SCALAR allows organizations to easily manage and view their drivers. After the organization account owner creates a driver, an invite is sent to the driver to enroll in the SCALAR platform. You can also resend an invite if the driver has missed an earlier invite. The administrator can also de-activate a driver from the SCALAR platform.

📘

Note

• The invitation link is valid only for 72 hours.
• If the driver is made inactive, the driver’s access to the Cargo application is revoked.
• The deleted drivers will be visible in SCALAR platform as inactive and can be reactivated from SCALAR platform or using the Tacho card assigned to the driver by linking an asset.
• The deletion/removal process of a driver is irreversible if the driver is deleted via GDPR policy of the organisation.

Purpose II: Manage Cargo app access

SCALAR allows the account administrator of an organization to provide Cargo application access to the drivers. The Cargo application access requires an email ID of the driver. The status of the driver’s access to Cargo application is viewed in the portal.

📘

Note

The driver’s access to the Cargo application is managed through SCALAR mobile app access settings in driver module.

Purpose III: Manage Tacho card details

SCALAR allows the administrator of an organization to manage the Tacho card details of the driver. The driver assignment of the asset is identified based on the Tacho card details provided in the platform.

Purpose IV: Manage Access

After creating a driver, you can assign users and driver groups to a specific driver to configure who will be able to follow it. The active drivers can also be assigned to a driver group from SCALAR.

📘

Note
