Fuel data on the service unit page 

Now the app users have access to summary information on fuel consumption. The Total cost of fuel option becomes available when clicking on the Total cost of services field on the Unit info tab.

If the Total cost of fuel value is selected, the Cost per 1 liter value is available by default. With this new option added, the user can have information on fuel costs for a particular unit.

Multiple reports’ improvements

We have modified the reports. Below you’ll find the details. 

  • No Actual fulfillment time column 

Previously, it was not clear what time exactly is displayed in this column. Thus, the actual fulfillment time could be visit time, confirmation/rejection time, or exit time. The truth is that different users mean different things when we say “fulfillment”. For some of them, it is the moment when the order is being delivered to the client; for other ones, it is the arrival at the destination or the moment when unloading starts, etc. Given that there are separate columns for all events, and the subjective nature of the fulfillment concept, the Actual fulfillment time column is no longer needed.

As a rule, at the delivery point, the driver not only unloads but also performs a number of other processes typical for each business. Thus, to make the parameter name more appropriate, it has been changed.

  • New columns

Delivery interval from/to. The beginning and end of the interval within which the driver should fulfil the delivery;

Actual time to point. The actual time spent on covering the distance between the previous and current destination points;

Estimated departure time. The time when the driver should leave the delivery point (system calculation);

Please note that the new columns are also available in detailed reports. The new columns can be exported in both XLSX and PDF formats, and are available for printing.

Thanks to the new columns, the users will be able to get more delivery information and, as a result, improve the analysis quality by comparing the key delivery targets with actual data. Please consider that by reducing just a couple of minutes of service time on each request, you can significantly reduce costs.

Estimated service time. The time that the driver should spend at the delivery point, including time for unloading goods, charging the client, and so on (system calculation).

  • Improved filtering in reports 

The following options appeared in the settings in the report navigation panel:

  • visited;
  • not visited;
  • visited on time;
  • visited late.

These new parameters are the result of the report modifications we featured above. 

  • New algorithm for visit time determining 

Now, if the driver has not visited the order (the unit is to send a message at zero speed within the order delivery radius), then the data in specific columns (“Deviation”, “Actual mileage”, “Actual time to point”, “Fuel consumed”, columns with temperature) will not be displayed. Thus, the events on the order will be reflected most accurately.

  • The same set of columns for both detailed and basic reports

A detailed report consists of 32 columns. The basic report has 24 columns. “By driver” is the only one report type without the Driver column.

  • Modified statistics logic 

With no “fulfillment time” concept in use, we have specified the visit and the confirmation/rejection of orders. And now the order that the driver actually visited is considered as the visited one. Thus, statistics has become more user-friendly.
