Overview

GEOTAB and MapPoint 2004 make a solid business operating platform with efficient local or central data storage using MS Access or MS SQL.

GEOTAB has developed summary level reports that are generated in minutes that enable business users to quickly identify problem areas. Detailed reports or administration reports for fuel tax and compensation are generated in MS Excel for easy integration with other business user software.

In View Trips, the user can see precisely how the vehicle was driven and where stops happen.

GEOTAB features the ability to draw customer or geographic zones either manually or by importing from a customer list in MS Excel.

Once drawn, stops inside customer zones are noted by a star symbol. Reports showing time at customers are easily generated

When driving rules are programmed, any violation is shown precisely on the map so a driver review can happen.  GEOTAB encourages fleets to monitor and control engine idling over 5 minutes through the accurate use of GEOTAB GPS technology and MapPoint as it reduces engine wear and reduces fuel costs and greenhouse gas emissions.

The most common GEOTAB report as requested by customers is the Trips List report. Fleets have used this report to act as a distance or time based payroll solution, a trip verification solution, a proof of activity report, a call report solution for sales or log for calculating personal/business miles driven.

The report summaries stops and starts and reports the address of the stop through extraction from Microsoft MapPoint. If the stop happened at a drawn customer zone, the customer name appears. If the stop happened outside of a customer zone, the MapPoint address appears.

The GEOTAB Risk Management Report pulls summary data from the Microsoft Access or SQL central database for reporting driving habits that can be monitored to reduce risk of liability for insured or self-insured fleets.

GEOTAB Checkmate software allows managers to set up the operating rules and then see when those rules are active. Rule can be set up to reduce insurance risk (speeding, after hours use, prolonged stop time, use of vehicle inside prohibited areas), to reduce maintenance costs (engine over-idling, over-revving), to improve safety (speeding inside loading zones, use of alarms inside noise restricted areas), to reinforce driver training (bus or vocational driving rules can be set up) and for proof of activity (PTOs, pumps, door opening, hydraulic devices being used).
