“The goal is to turn data into information,
and information into insight.”

3. WHAT IS BIG DATA?
Big data is any amount of data that is too
large for a human being to process.

4. WHAT IS BIG DATA?
For fleets that utilize GPS tracking with
their assets, big data can consist of...

The core of any tracking solution is the asset location data.
Tracking devices can store a vehicle’s location data up to
once a minute. For a fleet with a number of assets to track,
that means thousands of data points are being stored to
give you real-time location information.

Stored location data can be
replayed to give a history of an

Location data with user-created
geofence areas signal when
boundaries are crossed.

Fuel consumption is a key contributor to overall fleet expenses. As
such, fleet managers look to fuel usage data collected or calculated by
tracking systems to ensure they are getting the most out of their miles.

Ignition monitoring opens up a number of additional
features on top of monitoring a vehicle’s on/off status. It also
plays a part in identifying vehicle idling and unauthorized
vehicle/asset activity.

Fuel consumption is a key contributor to overall fleet
expenses. As such, fleet managers look to fuel usage data
collected or calculated by tracking systems to ensure they
are getting the most out of their miles.

13. TRACKING DEVICES STORE A VEHICLES
LOCATION DATA UP TO ONCE A MINUTE.
Fuel usage is calculated by pulling location, speed, fuel card,
ignition, and engine data together.
Fuel card monitoring allows the fleet management system to
pull data directly from fuel expenses paid on a company fuel
card.
Diesel fuel is the largest operating expense for commercial
trucks.

A major aspect of fuel consumption management is keeping
vehicle idling in check. For tracking devices with access to
engine information, the time a vehicle sits motionless while
turned on can be used for creating fuel usage strategies.

DRIVER SAFETY
Driver safety is comprised of a variety of different types of
data. From harsh braking to speeding, data gathered from
vehicle tracking helps identify positive driver behavior.

18. TRACKING DEVICES STORE A VEHICLES
LOCATION DATA UP TO ONCE A MINUTE.
Vehicle speed is automatically captured during every
location ping.
Incidents involving harsh braking can be recorded and logged in
a system.
Driver safety data can also include information on driver
performance and history.

Vehicle speed data is a valuable resource to fleet managers
because it is a factor that plays an important role in things
like: driver safety, fuel usage, and shipping estimates.

21. BEWARE! TOO MUCH DATA IS
AS HARMFUL AS TOO LITTLE...
YOU NEED A CLEAR PLAN WHEN USING A LOT OF DATA

22. U S E R E P O R T S
Use reporting tools to compile summaries of your essential
data instead of parsing through never ending spreadsheets.
Focus on specific goals you want your data to fulfill and
create plans for improvement. Data without purpose is just
numbers on a sheet.

23. ODOMETER REPORT
Compile odometer
information and get a
high-level view of distance
traveled for your whole fleet.
STOP REPORT
A record of the stops made by
a specific vehicle or asset
within a specified period of
time.
SPEED REPORT
A report with a vehicle’s
speed over a period of time
including average and top
speed.
IGNITION REPORT
See when your vehicles were
started up and shut down,
including the location and
time of each instance.

24. JUST REMEMBER...
“Numbers have an important story to tell.
They rely on you to give them a voice.”
- Stephen Few
