Operational | The Operational Utilisation in the Utilisation Module is a new addition to the Insights Platform, designed specifically for Fleet Managers to monitor and optimise the efficiency of their fleets. The tab provides a measure of how much a vehicle (or set of vehicles) is utilised within a given time frame. It's calculated based on the proportion of 15-minute units a vehicle is in operation within that frame, expressed as a percentage. |
Benefits |
In a nutshell, "Operational Utilisation" insights, grounded in driving time, offer a pathway to environmentally conscious fleet operations, smarter resource allocation, and effective long-term strategic planning. |

Disclaimer
There are a few differences between the report and Insights calculations. Although they perform similar functions, they handle the data differently and are located in different areas of the codebase. Weekends and public holidays are never filtered out for Insights and are included in the Insights results. Additionally, Insights breaks the data into 15-minute time blocks. This might slightly skew the data, but it's unlikely to cause any significant issues. Furthermore, in some cases, reports may have a minor calculation bug, which can be brought to the attention of the relevant team for investigation. |
