Understand the difference between our dashboards and our email reports

Understand the difference between our dashboards and our email reports

Having dashboards and reports available to you is good. It's even better if you can understand their usefulness and use them to drive your fleet forward. That's why today we're going to focus on these two categories of reports, the most commonly used to provide you with information about your fleet. 


The dashboards 

Dashboards, to know the state of your fleet at a glance


First point: what is a dashboard? 

A dashboard is any report that graphically represents one of the fleet's parameters or KPIs. 

This format allows you to have a quick overview of the status of your fleet. For example, you can follow the curve of your fuel consumption.

One of the most used dashboards is the fuel tracking dashboard. You can, for a vehicle, follow in real time the quantity of fuel in the tank. This allows you to detect a theft for example. Indeed, in the territories where we operate, fuel theft is a major problem. I invite you to read the article we wrote on this subject.

Before the advent of fleet management and fuel tracking software, these flights were only detected at a late stage. When they were detected. Now, by regularly consulting your dashboards, you can notice a sudden and unusual drop in fuel. There are also alert systems to report any unusual and suspicious drop in fuel level.

These dashboards are often fully customizable. On the platform, you can define the information that is important to you. They are then displayed in this dashboard form on your homepage.

This form of report allows you to know more about your fleet at the moment. For this reason, it can be interesting to consult them at least once a day. For some sectors (last mile delivery for example), the dashboards can be consulted several times a day to follow the progress of the deliveries and compare it to the planned schedule for example.

We update the information in real time, so that the information you consult is always representative of reality.


Email-reports

The reports sent by e-mail allow to take a step back on the state of the fleet, and to aim at long term decisions


Reports sent by email are more comprehensive than dashboards. They contain information studied over a given period of time, which allows for more in-depth analysis of the state of the fleet and therefore potentially for measures to be taken. They provide a summary of all the data collected. These reports are sent periodically to the people concerned in the companies 

One of the main advantages of these reports is that they are sent automatically: the fleet manager does not need to build them himself, nor does he need to go and get them from the platform. He receives them at each defined period of time, directly in his mailbox. While dashboards allow you to know more about what is happening in your fleet in real time, electronic reports are made for you to take a step back and analyze what could be improved. They help you make long-term decisions.

At Fleeti, one of the most requested reports is the "Risk Management Report", or RMR. The risk management report allows you to quickly obtain a global and synthetic view of the fleet over a given period.

These reports, each in their own way, allow you to make progress in your fleet. Whether it's about one-off interventions (dashboard) or decisions for longer-term changes (report), they help you to better understand your fleet, and therefore better optimize it. Fleeti's reports focus on expertise and clarity of information. We believe that anyone should be able to understand our reports. That's why we present your KPIs in a clear and concrete way, so you can easily make impactful decisions.
