Navman Wireless have a wide range of reports and alerts built in with their tracking system that help fleet managers collect data and look back over historical data.

Among Timesheet & Idle reports there are the following reports that are beneficial to many businesses:

Maintenance Status Reports: Keeping up to date with vehicle maintenance requirements is imperative to staying legal on the road. Get reports on when your vehicles need to serviced, MOT’s are due and insurance is coming up for renewal. Running these reports can help fleet managers schedule a vehicle downtime to minimise any impact it may have on the business. Maintaining a fleet well helps a company carry out their duty of care obligations to staff.

Vehicle Trip Report: View reports on a single vehicle or entire fleet. These reports can identify jobs attended to by each and every driver and any stops taken in the day that was not on the daily plan. Length of time spend by each driver on site can also be ascertained and invoicing carried out more easily.

Navman’s tracking system also offers a number of alerts such as:

Stationary Vehicle Alert: The fleet manager can receive an alert if a vehicle has been stationary for a longer period than predetermined in the system. This is used to ensure driver safety and transparency of delays on or off site.

Geofence Alerts: Set a geofence and if a vehicle goes out of those area the fleet manager will be alerted. This can be useful in cases of theft and drivers using vehicles for personal use.

Managing a fleet is a task not to be taken lightly and with a Navman Tracking System can be made so much easier.

Navman’s tracking systems come with a range of reports and alerts which are all designed to make a fleet managers life much easier.

Below you will find some of most popular reports that Navman offer:

Timesheet Reports: Much time is spend on the administration of timesheets and the tedious task of calculating how many hours each driver has worked, overtime and pay. With Navman’s tracking system a timesheet report can be simply generated. This report highlights when a driver has started and finished his day and gives a daily total. There is also the ability to run comparisons such as the time drivers spend on the road against time on site which can be a great help in locating inefficiencies within the business.

Idle Reports: Idle reports can be generated on each vehicle and show where and how long each driver has stopped for with the engine running. A pre determined idle limit can be set for each vehicle and if the vehicle goes over this it can be recorded in a report. Excessive idling results in increased fuel consumption.

Overspeed Report: This allows you to set a maximum speed that drivers can go and identifies when this is broken. The report will show how many times it has been broken and where which helps to identify high risk drivers. Speeding can result in accidents and higher fuel consumption. Driving at 50mph rather than 70mph saves around 30% of fuel.
