Create Tariff Plan

A Tariff Plan is used to define the pricing structure for vehicle licensing or subscriptions. It allows you to set specific rates based on vehicle usage, service types, or subscription duration.

The Tariff Plan consists of two distinct types: Prepaid and Postpaid.

Prepaid

  • In a Prepaid plan, the user is required to make a payment first upfront before gaining access to the platform.

  • These plans can be structured with tiers for Monthly, Quarterly, Half-Yearly, and Yearly options, tailored to align with various platform versions (Lite, Standard, and Premium), allowing for appropriate price configuration.
  • For existing vehicles that already have plans, users have the option to upload an Excel file containing the expiry date details. These vehicles will expire on the specified dates and can be recharged accordingly.

  • When a new vehicle is added, the corresponding tariff plan will automatically be applied to that vehicle.

  • The user will receive a notification at the specified email address a few days prior to the expiration date, based on the number of days selected.

  • Free days may also be offered according to user preferences.

Please Note: If the vehicle is not recharged prior to its expiration, the tracking functionality for that vehicle will be deactivated for the user.

Postpaid

  • In a Postpaid plan, the user is granted access to the platform initially and is then billed for the services utilized.

  • The pricing for the postpaid plan should be defined on a per-day basis.

Please Note: The duration of a Postpaid plan is fixed, i.e., for 30 days. After 30 days, the account expires. To reactivate the account, the user must complete the payment process.

  • Taxes may be applied to the plans as either a percentage or a fixed amount, depending on the specific requirements and applicable regulations.

  • For example, in India, 18% GST is applicable, so that can be added in the Tax section.

  • Additionally, users have the option to incorporate Payment Gateway Charges. This feature becomes applicable if Payment Gateways have been configured within the user's account settings. These charges may be applied as either a percentage or a fixed amount and can be structured as either a flat rate or based on specific slabs.
