Automated Workflow is a tool that can be utilized to connect PeopleNet Units installed in a Customer’s Fleet to the Customer’s back office Dispatch System. In its most basic form, Automated Workflow is designed to capture Arrival and Departure times utilizing geofences.
Automated Workflow, often referred to as AWF, allows for a tremendous amount of customization depending on what system we are integrating with.
The utilization of Automated Workflow helps track order status, time spent at pickup and deliveries, and can be configured to collect data from drivers at stops. It collects data such as Bill of Lading, Lumper Charges, Over/Short/Damage Reports, Pieces, Pallets, Weight, and any other business critical data points.
When designing your Automated Workflow integration it is important to consider how it will be used. Outside of the API documentation it is highly recommended that you review the Overview & Best Practices documentation to better understand how Automated Workflow will be integrated into your daily operations.

The Open Interface API aims to make integration to your fleets content as simple as possible, connecting you to all the data you need to build a robust and flexible integration.
Formats used for the Open Interface API include XML and JSON.
The API is accessed by making HTTP requests to a specific version endpoint URL, in which GET or POST variables contain information about what you wish to access. Every endpoint is accessed via an SSL-enabled HTTPS (port 443), this is because everything is using OAuth 2.0
To access the API you will need the following:
API Base URL
Customer ID (CID)
Password
Your IP address whitelisted with PeopleNet
If you do not have a password or have not provided your IP for whitelisting, please contact integration@peoplenetonline.com
