Understanding the difference between our dashboards and our email reports

Providing you with dashboards and reports is good. But it's even better if you are able to understand their usefulness and use them to improve your car fleet. That's why today we're going to focus on these two categories of reports, the most used to send you information about your car fleet. 

Dashboards 

Dashboards, to know the status 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 get a quick overview of the status of your fleet. For example, you can track the curve of your fuel consumption.

One of the most used dashboards is precisely that of fuel monitoring. You can, for a vehicle, track 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 also invite you to refer to the article we wrote on this subject.

However, before the arrival of fleet management software and therefore fuel monitoring, these thefts were only detected late. When they were detected. Now, by regularly consulting your dashboards, you are able to 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 matters to you. It is then displayed in dashboard form on your homepage.

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

We update the information in real time, so that the information you see always reflects reality.

Email-reports

Reports sent by email allow you to take a step back and look at the state of the fleet, and aim for long-term decisions.

Reports sent by email are more comprehensive than dashboards. They contain information studied over a given period, which allows for more in-depth analysis of the state of the fleet and therefore potentially measures to be taken. They offer a summary of all the data collected. These reports are sent periodically to the people concerned within 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 look for them on the platform. He receives them at each defined time period, directly in his mailbox. While dashboards allow you to learn more about what is happening in real time within your fleet, email reports are designed 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 provides a quick, comprehensive and concise overview of the fleet over a given period.

These reports, each in their own way, allow you to improve your fleet. Whether for 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 the information presented. We believe that anyone should be able to understand our reports. That's why we present your KPIs in a clear and concrete way, to allow you to easily make impactful decisions.
