We added a new report called the “Fleet Utilization Report” last week.
This allows you to view the following for up to a month for your fleet:
- Miles
- Hours driven
- Trips
- Days of use
Now you can easily see in seconds (or less than a second, realistically):
- Which vehicles are being over-used
- Which vehicles are being under-used
- How many miles/Trips/Hours/Days of use per month
Here is how you run it under Reports->Activity->Fleet Use:
Running the new Fleet Utilization Report
Here is what the summary looks like (without the “daily” option checked):
GPS Insight Fleet Utilization Report
If you want to see a “matrix” of vehicle utilization by day, you can click the “daily” box, and see 4 distinct matrices — one for each of the 4 categories of utilization, and columns for each day chosen:
GPS Insight Fleet Utilization Report (daily option)
It is important to note that we have run this report for fleets of 1000 vehicles for an entire month, in less than 30 seconds.
Most competitors’ reports time out and fail when you try to run this much data at once. This is around 2.5 million miles worth of data for 1000 trucks for a month, in around 25 seconds, which amounts to 100,000 miles per second which we can process for you and your company.
And this report is just one of the 35 or so we offer.
Enjoy!
Thanks,

This is one of the most powerful and most overlooked reasons to consider a competent GPS tracking system for a fleet. It is amazing at times how many fleets, even relatively small ones have vehicles that don’t really get used often enough to justify their existence. Vehicles “eat” even while they are sitting in the parking lot.
A real potential here is school bus fleets. When I was pounding the pavement selling systems I found many bus managers who always answered sales offers with, “sounds good, but of course we have no money”.
Ones who did avail of GPS tracking and put it to use (not always the same thing, sadly) often found that they could eliminate several extra buses that were being held in reserve (but never used), more than paying for the costs of the GPS system.
There’s a lot more to business vehicle costs than just trying to save a few tenths of a MPG.
