Client plans management

Methods in this section are related to the Forguard solution.

The specificity of Forguard accounts lies in assigning a client plan upon creation, wherein partners determine the available account limits and control specific application features/modules when creating a client plan.

The client plan, in turn, is built upon partner plans offered by the GPS-Trace platform.

Client plans consist of two sections:

  • Quotas
  • Modules 

Quotas include limits on unit quantity per account, geofence quantity, and maximum data storage limit.

"quotas": {
  "unit": number,
  "geofence": number,
  "unit_storage": number
}

Modules are specific features or functionalities within the Forguard application that partners can choose to enable or disable in a client plan for a client account at their discretion.

Currently, the following modules are available:

  • service_mode - Activates Service Mode option in the app
  • tools-  Activates Toolbox and SetBox in the app
  • notifications - Activates basic notifications in the app, providing access to view and configure notifications (Simple and Customizable)
  • unit_event - Activates the Event option in the app
  • geofence - Activates Geofences tab in the application
  • timeline - Activates Timeline tab in the application
  • sharing - Activates the Sharing option in the app
  • command - Activates the Commands Panel in the app
  • google_maps - Allows the use of Google Maps in the app
  • statistics - Activates Statistics tab in the app
  • extended_notification - Activates sending methods such as by email, Webhook, and Telegram. Enables Own notifications working by parameters.
  • maintenance - Activates Maintenance tab with mileage and engine hours counters.

Partner uses a partner plan to create a client plan, adjusting the limits based on the partner plan.

For instance, if a partner plan has a 10 units limit per account, the partner can set a lower value but not exceed 10 units in the client plan.

Scheme for creating a Forguard account:
Forguard Account (1)

Create client plan

This API endpoint allows for the creation of a client plan, which is used in the process of creating Forguard accounts.

POST /partner/client-plans

The mandatory field for this request:

  • “managed_plan_id”: “string” - The identifier of the partner plan on which the client plan is based. The list of partner plans can be obtained using the GET method /billing/managed-plans.
  • “app_id”:”string” - The ID of the application to which this tariff belongs. For the current moment, it is only Forguard (Forguard app_id - b901da51-ce00-4af2-b978-8d0fca8ae1ea)

Get modules

This endpoint allows to retrieve information about the modules used in creating client plans.

GET /partner/client-plans/modules

Creating Forguard account requires assigning a client plan to it.
Client plans are made based on partner plans provided by the GPS-Trace platform.

Partner plans consist of two main parts: 

  • Limits - include unit max quantity per account, geofence quantity, and data storage limit.

Example of limits:

"limits": {
          "geofence": {
            "default": 35,
            "max": 70,
            "min": 0,
            "step": 1
          },
          "unit": {
            "default": 35,
            "max": 70,
            "min": 1,
            "step": 1
          },
          "unit_storage": {
            "default": 102400,
            "max": 204800,
            "min": 10240,
            "step": 10240
          }
        }

  • Modules - specific features or functionalities within the Forguard application that partners can choose to enable or disable in a client plan for a client account at their discretion 

Currently, the following modules are available:

  • service_mode - activates service mode option in the app

Client plans based on partner plans and include specific quotas and modules.
Quotas for geofences, units, and data storage volume are set during client plan creation, within the limits of the partner plan. Partners can activate or deactivate modules available in the partner plan. 

For instance, a partner might select a partner plan allowing 70 units, create a client plan based on it, set a 50-unit limit, and apply this plan to a Forguard account for the client to track up to 50 units.

Modules 'account', 'unit', and 'fuel' are always enabled by default in Forguard accounts. They can only be seen in the response to the request.
