In today\u2019s technology-savvy world, the volume of ‘big data’ that’s available to fleets can be overwhelming.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

But identifying the right information is crucial for effective fleet management analysis… and fleet cost analysis!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"fleet<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For example, data on shop operations, vehicle service schedules and fuel is essential, but it only has real value if it\u2019s actionable<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Understanding what data could be useful for fleet management analysis begins by assessing what information will help address your most pressing challenges. You may have access to an extensive volume of data, but it’s important to understand that it may not be in your best interests to analyse all of it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So where can you expect to reap the benefits of effective fleet analysis?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Some data may not be relevant to your fleet operation goals, however, if you pinpoint data that can improve aspects of your operation then you\u2019re well on the way to using information effectively.<\/p>\n

Areas to consider include:<\/p>\n

Procurement:<\/strong>
\npurchase and specify vehicles with knowledge of how assets have previously performed, and their operating and maintenance costs<\/a><\/p>\n

Maintenance:<\/strong>
\nmanage maintenance and repair activities to improve technician and workshop productivity<\/a> – and lower labor expenses – by evaluating workflow, throughput and downtime<\/p>\n

Inventory<\/strong>:
\nreduce parts inventory costs with knowledge of stock usage and availability, as well as supplier pricing trends<\/p>\n

Fuel<\/strong>:
\nlower fuel costs<\/a> by analysing vehicle performance to reduce usage …you can also evaluate purchasing programs and practices<\/p>\n

Safety<\/strong>:
\nimprove safety and risk with intelligence on driver behaviour, and by analysing data relating to accidents, damage costs and repairs<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And what areas can be addressed with fleet management reports?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If the key to efficiently utilising data to support positive change is determining what data is most useful, the next step is to enable a means of fleet analysis reporting.<\/p>\n

Advanced fleet software provides the ability to generate fleet management reports<\/a> for different areas of fleet analysis, including:<\/p>\n
