The Vehicles page shows your delivery vans on a live map, powered by Yipii GPS trackers. Each vehicle appears as a pin with its speed and how long ago it last reported; the list beside the map lets you click a van to centre the map on it. Positions refresh on their own every 30 seconds.
Connecting it
- In the Yipii dashboard open API Access → Create API Key and copy the key — a long token that starts with
eyJ…(it's shown only once). Note your Account Key too (it's in the dashboard URL: iot.yipii.io/a/{accountKey}/…). - An administrator opens Settings → Fleet tracking, pastes the Account Key and the API Key, then clicks Save and Test connection.
- Once it says connected, open Vehicles for the map — or Settings → Vehicle settings to rename a van.
Delivery vehicles — which vans everyone sees
Your Yipii account may track *every* company vehicle — including cars and vans that never touch linen. So each vehicle has a Delivery vehicle tick: it marks the vans that actually move your linen, and it decides who sees which vehicles.
- An administrator opens Settings → Vehicle settings and ticks 📦 Delivery vehicle on each van that carries linen. The tick saves on its own — there is no separate Save button.
- That is all. The map does the rest automatically based on who is looking.
- Administrators and power users see every vehicle. The delivery vans are marked with a 📦 Delivery badge so you can tell them apart at a glance.
- Everyone else — housekeepers, drivers, ordinary staff — sees only the delivery vehicles. The cars and non-linen vans simply do not appear for them.
- The Housekeeping app opens the map as a Delivery vans view: it always shows the delivery vehicles only, even for an administrator, because that is all a housekeeper needs.
Tip If a van you expect is missing for your staff but you can see it as an admin, it just hasn't been ticked as a delivery vehicle yet — tick it in Settings → Vehicle settings. If no van is ticked at all, non-admin staff see an empty map.
Note The API Key is the only credential you need — it is used directly as the access token. If Test connection says the key was rejected, make sure you pasted the long
eyJ… key (not a password) and that the Account Key matches your dashboard.Note A van shows on the map as soon as Yipii returns live GPS coordinates for it. While Yipii's live-tracking feed is still in preview it may appear in the list (with its status and last-movement time) before it shows as a pin — the pin lights up automatically once coordinates come through.
Note Fleet tracking and Vehicle settings are admin-only. Nothing else in the app depends on Yipii, so it's completely optional. The delivery-vehicle ticks are stored inside the app, so they keep working even with a read-only Yipii key.
