Connect Any Tracking Device to GoAndTrack in 5 Minutes: The Complete BYOD Setup Guide
Whatever tracking devices you're running — Teltonika fleet trackers, Queclink GPS units, Tive cold chain sensors, Reelables smart labels, Blecon BLE beacons, Sensolus IoT sensors, or data sitting in a Traccar or ThingsBoard instance — this guide covers exactly how to connect each device type to GoAndTrack in under 5 minutes.
GoAndTrack supports four connection methods, each designed for a specific device category. Understanding which method applies to your hardware is the first step — after that, setup is a matter of credentials and a few clicks.
The Four Connection Methods
Method A: Direct Protocol
The device sends data directly to GoAndTrack's endpoint — same as it would send to Traccar or any server. Update the server address in the device's configuration. No API keys, no intermediary.
Method B: Provider API
GoAndTrack connects to the provider's cloud via their API, polling for device data every 60 seconds. You provide API credentials — GoAndTrack handles the connection.
Method C: Webhook Push
The provider's infrastructure pushes data to GoAndTrack in real time via webhook. Lowest possible latency — events arrive within seconds of being recorded by the device.
Method D: Data Import
Historical data from CSV exports, downloaded loggers, or legacy systems. Import historical telemetry to preserve compliance records and audit trails through platform migrations.
Device-by-Device Setup Guide
📡 GPS Fleet Trackers (Teltonika, Queclink, Digital Matter Falcon)
Method A — Direct ProtocolSetup time: 3–5 minutes per device batch
In GoAndTrack: Account Settings → Integrations → Add Device → Select your manufacturer. Copy the TCP server address and port. On the device: update the GPRS/server settings via your manufacturer's configuration tool (Teltonika Configurator, Queclink Config Tool, or SMS command). All devices update simultaneously if you use a centralised configuration push.
🌡️ Cold Chain Sensors (Tive, Sensolus)
Method B — Provider APISetup time: 2–3 minutes per provider
In GoAndTrack: Account Settings → Integrations → Add Provider → Select Tive or Sensolus. Enter your API credentials (from your Tive account Settings → API Access, or Sensolus cloud.sensolus.com → Settings → API). GoAndTrack pulls your device list and begins polling immediately. All existing devices appear within 2 minutes.
🔵 BLE Beacons (Blecon, Wiliot)
Method C — Webhook PushSetup time: 5 minutes
In GoAndTrack: Account Settings → Integrations → Add Provider → Blecon (or Wiliot). GoAndTrack generates a unique webhook URL and authentication token. In your Blecon/Wiliot account: configure the outbound webhook to point to your GoAndTrack webhook URL. BLE events arrive in real time — no polling delay.
🏷️ Smart Labels (Reelables, Tag-N-Trac)
Method B — Provider APISetup time: 2–3 minutes
In GoAndTrack: Account Settings → Integrations → Add Provider → Reelables. Enter your Reelables API key (from your Reelables Developer Settings). GoAndTrack imports your active label inventory and begins tracking immediately. Smart labels are automatically classified as Shipment mode — they display as journey-based tracking assets rather than fixed-location assets.
⚙️ Existing Platform Data (Traccar, ThingsBoard, Telematics Guru)
Method B — Platform APISetup time: 2 minutes
If your devices already report to Traccar, ThingsBoard, or Telematics Guru, you don't need to reconfigure any hardware immediately. Connect GoAndTrack to your existing platform via its API and GoAndTrack pulls all your device data through the existing platform. This is the fastest path to GoAndTrack for operations with established platform setups — your devices migrate to GoAndTrack over time at your own pace.

Adding Your Second (and Third) Provider
The compounding value of GoAndTrack's BYOD model becomes apparent when you add a second provider. The moment your Tive cold chain data lives in the same platform as your Queclink GPS fleet data, queries like "show me shipments above 8°C on vehicles that are more than 90 minutes delayed" become possible. That cross-provider intelligence is the product.
Connection Checklist: Before You Start
- ✓Have your GoAndTrack account created and verified at app.goandtrack.com
- ✓Identify which connection method applies to each of your device types (Direct Protocol / Provider API / Webhook / Import)
- ✓For Provider API connections: have your API keys ready from each provider's account settings
- ✓For Direct Protocol GPS devices: confirm you have access to the device configuration tool (Teltonika Configurator, SMS access, or Config Tool)
- ✓For Webhook connections: confirm your BLE provider supports outbound webhook configuration
- ✓Note which devices you want to classify as Shipment mode (cold chain, smart labels) vs Asset mode (GPS fleet, BLE warehouse)
Key Takeaways
- GoAndTrack uses four connection methods — Direct Protocol (GPS devices), Provider API (Tive, Sensolus, Reelables), Webhook Push (Blecon, Wiliot), and Data Import (Frigga, historical data) — each taking under 5 minutes
- If you already use Traccar or ThingsBoard, connect GoAndTrack to your existing platform via API for immediate data access — zero device reconfiguration needed to get started
- Smart labels (Reelables) are automatically classified as Shipment mode; GPS fleet trackers as Asset/Vehicle mode — the distinction ensures correct display in journey timelines and compliance reports
- Connect providers in order: GPS first (baseline), cold chain second (correlation value), BLE and smart labels third, then configure Mission Control thresholds across all providers
- New account testing credits provide enough runway to validate all integrations before full fleet deployment — no commitment required to see GoAndTrack working with your actual devices
