Finding the right truck data to improve service operations

Finding the right truck data to improve service operations

Finding the right information with so many data points streaming off of your trucks can be like playing a really frustrating game of “Where’s Waldo?” The multitude of dashboards that are being updated constantly can become very saturated with information and hard to ingest. There are a ton of answers – but which one is correct and how can we get it?

Customizing your dashboards is a great first step. API’s or Application Programming Interface helps by pulling in data from various components, analyzing it and then displaying it on one dashboard. To help you decide what data points should be integrated and displayed on the dashboard, ask yourself this question: What insight are you looking to gain from it? This can help you narrow in on the data points you want to focus on. The display of information will better help you make informed decisions that lead you to increased efficiency and maximum uptime.
