With your initial setup complete, it's time to configure your database to get the most out of your GO device data. In this configuration, you'll set up Safety rules, maintenance reminders and dashboard reports to make MyGeotab work the way that's best for you.
Ready? We recommend opening your database in another tab and completing each step as you go.
Set up your Safety Rules
One of the most useful reports you'll find on your Dashboard is the Driver Safety Scorecard. This report helps identify risky drivers in your fleet. MyGeotab measures performance using built-in Safety rules and grades drivers from 0 to 100. Repeated unsafe driving behavior leads to a higher risk profile, while better driver performance leads to a lower risk profile. Fleet managers can use these safety scores to create rewards programs and coaching opportunities.
To get the most out of the Driver Safety Scorecard, we recommend configuring the ABCs of Safety:
In MyGeotab, you can add maintenance reminders for the vehicles in your fleet. These reminders help support your preventative maintenance plan and ensure long-term success.
To add a maintenance reminder, select your preferred format (Tutorial, Video or Article) and follow the how-to instructions below:
New User Tip: When creating a maintenance reminder, you can select more than one Repeats by criterion. For example, if you select both Time: Every 6 months and Distance: 10000 km, the reminder will be sent when the asset reaches either one of the criteria.
More Fleet Reports
Reports are one of the best tools available in MyGeotab. They contain aggregated data from your database and can provide insight on your fleet. You can use the built-in reports to monitor activities such as:
Deliveries per driver
Average fuel consumption
Drivers who speed
Identify those drivers who frequently arrive late and depart early
If the selection of built-in reports does not meet your needs, you can also create limitless custom reports in Microsoft Excel. You can also add custom reports that include a chart to your Dashboard for quick fleet summaries.
Along with the Driver Safety Scorecard, you can add other built-in reports to your Dashboard. For example, the Idling Violations report displays the top percentages of asset idle time. Idle time compares the total asset idling duration to the amount of engine-on time. This report is ideal for fleet managers looking to increase efficiency by optimizing fuel usage.
