Integration Between Keep Trucking ELD and Factoring

The integration between Keep Trucking ELD (Motive) and factoring allows you to automatically attach GPS location data and Hours of Service (HOS) logs to your factoring invoices, proving to the broker that the load was delivered on time.

Overview

Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs) track your physical truck, while factoring companies track your money. The integration between Keep Trucking ELD and factoring connects the two, providing undeniable proof of delivery that helps fight chargebacks and speeds up funding. This synergy represents the future of the best factoring software integrations for trucking.

Key Factors to Consider

Real Scenario: “A broker attempts a $500 chargeback, claiming the driver was late to the receiver. Because the carrier had integrated their ELD with their factor, the factoring software automatically generated a geofence timestamp proving the truck was at the dock 15 minutes early. The chargeback was instantly dismissed.”

• Geofencing: The ability to prove exactly when a truck entered and exited a facility.
• Document Scanning: Using the ELD provider’s dashcam or mobile app to scan documents directly into the factoring portal.
• Dispute Resolution: ELD data is the ultimate trump card when managing factoring chargebacks in accounting software.

Step-by-Step Process

1. Verify Partnership: Check if your factoring company is an official integration partner with Motive (formerly KeepTruckin).
2. Access the API Marketplace: Log into your ELD dashboard and navigate to the “App Marketplace” or “Integrations” tab.
3. Connect the Factor: Select your factoring company and authorize the sharing of location and log data. See API access for freight factoring companies.
4. Submit a Load: When you upload a BOL via the factoring app, the system will now cross-reference the delivery time with the ELD’s GPS breadcrumbs.

Common Mistakes & Pitfalls

• Privacy Concerns: Failing to understand what data is shared. You only want to share delivery timestamps, not your driver’s entire personal history or hard-braking events. Read security requirements for trucking factoring portals.
• Broken API Keys: If the integration breaks, your invoices might fail to submit. Always verify the first few loads manually.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Does this integration cost extra? Usually, no. Both Motive and the factoring company want you entrenched in their ecosystem, so they offer the connection for free. Can I use other ELDs like Samsara? Yes, most top-tier factoring companies offer integrations with Samsara, Geotab, and other major ELD providers.
