1. Availability by User Type


Access to the Subscriptions section depends on the user role:

  • Direct Clients – accessible to Admin users only
  • Resellers – accessible to users with Reseller and Admin roles
  • MTM / BNSF / RMS Companies – available to Admin users, with permissions to manage subscriptions for billing purposes (for example, moving subscriptions between Shipping Prime groups)


Note: End customers of resellers (child clients) do not have access to this section.



2. Direct Clients (Admin Users Only)


Admin users from direct client accounts can:

  • View subscriptions
  • Export subscription data

They cannot:

  • Suspend subscriptions (Unless included in the contract)
  • Reactivate subscriptions
  • Terminate subscriptions (Notify support/sales when they want to terminate)



3. Resellers (Reseller + Admin Roles)


Resellers have extended visibility and management capabilities:

  • All subscriptions are displayed by default when the page is opened
  • Their clients list is available in the left-side panel
  • Depending on contract terms, they may:
    • Suspend subscriptions
    • Reactivate subscriptions
    • Terminate subscriptions (Only after the subscription period ended)

Note: Subscription suspension is available only if included in the reseller agreement.



4. MTM / BNSF / RMS Companies


Admin users within these organizations can:

  • Select one or multiple subscriptions
  • Move subscriptions to another billing group

When subscriptions are selected, the corresponding action button becomes available in the action bar.



5. Subscription Activation Rules


A subscription can be activated in one of the following ways, depending on the contract terms agreed with the customer:

  1. First device connection
    • Applies when the device is installed before the grace period expires
  2. Grace period expiration
    • Applies when the device has not been installed within the grace period
  3. Immediate activation after shipping (Sales Team configuration)
    • No grace period is defined
    • Billing starts on the first day of the following month
    • Configured in Monday / Deal
  4. Activation strictly on first connection (Sales Team configuration)
    • The grace period must match the full contract duration (in days)
    • Configured in Monday / Deal



6. Important Notes


Support Team

  • The Support Team must notify madalina.oanca@idrive.ai for all RMA or replacement cases
  • Next release will introduce the ability to replace a device directly within a subscription



7. SIM Card Behavior


  • Subscription terminated → SIM card is suspended
    • The SIM must also be terminated in the provider platform within 7 days
    • Review the SIMs → To Be Terminated report weekly and manually terminate listed SIMs in the provider platform
  • Subscription suspended → SIM card is suspended
    • Review the SIMs → To Be Suspended report weekly and manually suspend listed SIMs in the provider platform
    • These cases are uncommon and usually occur only when provider API errors prevent automatic synchronization
  • Subscription reactivated → SIM card is reactivated automatically


Provider-Specific Notes

  • FloLive / Emnify
    • Changes are synchronized between Nexus and the provider platform within 1–2 minutes
  • PODSYS
    • Initial activation (“preactive” state) may take several hours to appear in PODSYS
    • After activation, suspend/reactivate actions synchronize within 1–2 minutes
  • Teal
    • API reliability issues may occasionally cause synchronization failures
    • Affected SIMs are included in reports for manual processing
    • This provider is currently being phased out



8. Support Team Responsibilities


The Support Team should:

  • Suspend subscriptions only for RMA cases, when necessary
  • Terminate subscriptions only after contract expiration if the client declines renewal
  • Ensure clients are informed before termination decisions are made
  • Never terminate subscriptions that are still under an active contract
