Introduction
The Carrier API integration with Motive is designed for customers who operate Carrier reefer units (refrigerated trailers) in their fleet. This integration enables the monitoring and control of Carrier reefers directly from the Motive Fleet Dashboard, alongside other reefers such as Thermo King units and those equipped with Motive Environmental Sensors and Door Sensors. The primary goal is to comprehensively view all reefer operations, ensuring cold chain compliance and preventing spoilage.
| Note: Carrier Transicold is currently only available in the United States and Canada. |
Integration Benefits

- Access and Control of Critical Data: Gain insights into temperature control, change settings like set point and more, act on critical reefer alarms to prevent disruptions, and make informed decisions about fleet operations and asset investments.
- Powerful Reporting: Access detailed fleet data and convert it into actionable insights using Motive’s advanced reporting tools.
