Asset Utilization

The Asset Utilization feature gives you a clear, consolidated view of how your vehicles and equipment are being used.

The Asset Utilization page shows you a clear overview of how your assets' use. Key metrics, such as days used, hours used, and distance traveled, are displayed on a graph at the top of the page to help visualize asset usage trends over time. Information about individual asset usage is displayed in the table below the trend graph.

You can use the Asset Utilization page to:
  • Identify your most and least used assets: Sorting the asset list on the page by days used, distance driven, or hours used lets you see which assets are being used consistently and which are sitting idle.

  • Compare utilization across groups: You can sort your data by fleet groups to quickly surface which groups are most or least used in your fleet. This can help you identify areas of improvement or efficiency by redistributing or eliminating assets.

  • Track asset use trends over time: You can use the date filter to look at the same asset use patterns over different time periods to track improvements to your asset usage.

Identifying your most and least used assets

Learn how to use the Asset Utilization page to identify your most and least used assets in your fleet.

Tracking which assets in your fleet are used the most and which are used the least can help you identify areas of opportunity to improve your efficiency.
  1. Navigate to Productivity > Asset Utilization in the main menu.
  2. Select a date range for your data.
  3. Select the groups you want to view using the Groups dropdown.
  4. Sort the list by the metric you want to track by clicking the column header.
    Note: Click the column header once to view your assets sorted in order of least use (ascending order). Click twice to view them in order of most use (descending order).
    For example, if you want to view your most used assets by number of hours used, sort the table by the Hours used column in descending order.

Comparing asset use across groups

Learn how to compare asset use between groups in your database using the Asset Utilization feature.

Before you can compare asset use across groups, you'll have to set up your fleet groups using the Groups feature. Learn more about creating groups in the Group management help article.

The groups displayed in the table are the subgroups of the group or groups selected at the top of the page.
  1. Navigate to Productivity > Asset Utilization in the main menu.
  2. Select a date range for your data.
  3. Select the groups you want to view using the Groups dropdown.
  4. Set the View by dropdown to Groups.
  5. Sort the list by the metric you want to track by clicking the column header.
    Note: Click the column header once to view your groups sorted in order of least use (ascending order). Click twice to view them in order of most use (descending order).
    For example, if you want to view which of your groups is driving the least distance, sort the table by the Distance driven column in ascending order.

Tracking asset use trends over time

Learn how track trends in your asset usage using the Asset Utilization feature.

Track your usage trends over time can help show where you're making improvements in efficiency. You can use the trend graph on the Asset Utilization page to track usage over time by distance, hours used, and days used.
  1. Navigate to Productivity > Asset Utilization in the main menu.
  2. Select a date range for your data.
  3. Select the groups you want to view using the Groups dropdown.
  4. Use the cards at the top of the page to show average usage for the selected group over your specified date range.
You can hover over the Info icon on each card to learn more about how each metric is defined.
Note: You can also use the trend chart to see usage of an individual asset over time by selecting the asset view using the Assets dropdown. Use the cards at the top of the page to filter the trend graph to show the usage of the specified asset over your selected date range.
