MiX Telematics launches MiX Insight Reports - a must for fleet managers

MiX Telematics launches MiX Insight Reports - the business intelligence tool for FM-Web

The success of advanced fleet management and telematics solutions is often determined by the level of benefits customers gain from the data provided by their onboard computers. Customers expect to be able to access data in an easy-to-use and easy-to-understand way, retrieving meaningful information which helps them manage their fleets and operations.

To meet this demand, MiX Telematics has developed a sophisticated business intelligence tool, MiX Insight Reports. MiX Insight Reports forms part of FM-Web, the Internet-based fleet management service offered by MiX Telematics.

Gert Pretorius, Managing Director of MiX Telematics (Enterprise) says, “As its name implies, the primary objective of MiX Insight Reports is to provide insight into a customer’s data, stored in a powerful data warehouse and presented in an intuitive reporting structure. The new features enable FM-Web customers to leverage both real-time and historical fleet information, thereby assisting fleet managers in managing vehicles and drivers more effectively.”

Pretorius says MiX Insight Reports offers a range of advanced visualisation features such as tooltips, conditional formatting, cutting-edge trend analysis using spark lines and many more industry leading visualisation techniques. “It also allows customers to view more than 30 different chart types including not only standard pie and bar charts, but also polar, scatter, range, area and combination charts where applicable. The MiX Insight Reports also makes use of geospatial data features, which ultimately will allow fleet owners to analyse their vehicles’ trips and events by country, town and by street.”

Drill through and drill down functionality allows customers to easily and quickly look at overview and summary reports and then drill down and drill through to different levels of reporting. Thanks to the concept of reporting by exception, fleet managers can pick up exceptions in their reports far easier and pinpoint issues that fall out of the norm. All reports can also now be scheduled for electronic delivery or exported to a variety of formats including excel, pdf, csv and word files.

“Because one size does not fit all, we are now in a position to make customer specific enhancements and modifications to existing reports in a timely fashion and will shortly be adding this commercial service to our dealer network as well as to end customers,” concludes Pretorius.
