# Integrations Setup

> Connect telematics and Paver Tracker during onboarding.

## What you'll do

Connect the two data feeds that matter during onboarding: telematics for live truck positions, and Paver Tracker if you pave. Accounting integrations come after billing is live.

## Before you start

* A login for your telematics (ELD) provider's account.
* [Equipment](/onboarding/master-data/equipment) loaded so vehicles can match Equipment records.
* [Sites](/onboarding/master-data/sites) loaded so geofences line up with arrival events.
* If you pave: the job IDs your Paver Tracker uses, for project External IDs.

## Walkthrough

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Catena Telematics">
    Go to **Settings → Integrations** and click **Manage** on **Catena Telematics**. Tread connects to dozens of ELD providers through Catena.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect your provider">
    Click **Connect provider**. A popup guides you through it: pick your ELD from the list, sign in to your telematics account, and grant Tread access to your vehicle data. Once authorized, your vehicles appear on the [Live Map](/workflows/track-drivers-collect-tickets) automatically. A carrier can also complete the connection through a Catena Connect magic link.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Match vehicles to Equipment">
    Match each connected vehicle to an [Equipment](/onboarding/master-data/equipment) record so live positions land on the right truck. See [Telematics](/integrations/telematics) for the matching walkthrough.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Ask Tread to connect Paver Tracker">
    If you pave, access **Paver Tracker**, paste your credentials.

    If you pave: Paver Tracker is not self-serve — contact Tread to configure the connection and the paver list. Then set each paving project's **External ID** to the Paver Tracker job ID, and turn on **Sync sites from telematics (PaverTracker)** on each order that should follow a paver. See [Paver Tracker](/integrations/paver-tracker) and [Paving & Moving Geofences](/specialized/paving-geofences).
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Verify

The Catena Telematics page shows your connection status. The [Live Map](/workflows/track-drivers-collect-tickets) shows live pins for active trucks.

## Common mistakes

<Warning>
  **Skipping the vehicle match.** Tread can't record positions against a truck it can't identify. Walk through every connected vehicle before moving on.
