Duplicate Vehicles

Duplicate vehicles in the OPS-COM system can cause quite a bit of confusion especially when there is more than 1 driver for the specific vehicle. This article will discuss how to avoid this issue.

In OPS-COM, vehicles are identified uniquely by three key pieces of information: License Plate, Province / State, and Plate Type. These three details are essential when entering a vehicle. For example, ABC123 could appear as both a passenger vehicle plate and a commercial vehicle plate. Therefore, all three identifiers—License Plate, Province/State, and Plate Type—are needed to make the vehicle unique. However, duplicates can sometimes appear in the system if one of these details is entered incorrectly, leading to similar vehicles being mistakenly recorded as separate ones.

Some common reasons for duplicate vehicles include:

The more information you include when adding a vehicle to the system, the better. Providing more details will help the system recognize potential duplicates and avoid errors.

In addition to the three key identifiers, it is also recommended to include:

These details help to clearly identify specific vehicles and ensure they are properly recorded in the system.

Subscriptions are used to allow you to tag a default method of payment for any permits that you roll over from month to month. You can use payroll deductions, EFT, or credit cards as payment methods for subscriptions.  Subscriptions only affect permits that are being rolled over from a previous allocation period. Users can manage multiple payment methods on their account through the user portal but only one method may be set as primary. Admins can also add payment method details to a user profile.

In order for subscriptions to function, the user must provide information pertaining to the payment method they wish to use for their subscription service.

There are three main payment types that are used for subscription services:

  • Electronic Funds Transfer (Must be entered in the system by an Administrator) 
  • Credit Card (Can be entered both by the client through their online profile as well as by an Administrator) 
  • Payroll Deduction (Handled by the Administrator through the OPS-COM System)
