What does the integration help you with?
This integration helps you to identify the current location of equipment with GPS (Global positioning system) in Onix Work.
This is how you get started:
In ABAX
To integrate with ABAX you will need to activate the ABAX API.
This is done by two parameters: Client ID and Client Secret.
The Client ID must be obtained from ABAX.
This requires a separate developer account, which differs from your normal ABAX user.
Visit https://www.abax.com/
- Select “Resources” and “Developer API”
- Click Login
- If you do not have a developer account, click “Create account”
Logged on to your new account, select Production, and locate the Dashboard.
Click Create API Credential
Give in values for name and redirect_uris (any name will do)
- Click “Create API Credetial”
- Your new credentials will appear on the page.
This Client ID must be linked to your ABAX account. ABAX support will handle this for you:
Take a copy of your Client ID together with the name of your organization and send it in an email to api@abax.no
When the connection is paired, you can start setting up Onix Work.
In Onix Work
From Onix Work, select settings.
Navigate to System -> External data-sources -> GPS tracking.
- Select ABAX as the provider
- Choose a contact that will be responsible for this integration
- Insert Client ID and Client Secret found in the ABAX Dashboard
- Hit “Apply”
Your integration is now ready to be used.
Start Tracking
To enable tracking of a device, you will need to ally the device's serial number to equipment. This is done by the property “ABAX Serial Number”.
From the Equipment module:
- Locate your equipment
- Click “Edit Properties”
- Select “ABAX Serial Number” and “Add to list >”
- Click “Save and close”
- Select ABAX as the provider
- Choose a contact that will be responsible for this integration
- Insert Client ID and Client Secret found in the ABAX Dashboard

The position of your device should now be updated daily from ABAX and can be followed under the equipment’s map page (From the equipment card, choose Map).
