We took data from over 50 of our utility and municipal fleet benchmarking clients and their active Digger Derricks from 2017 to 20211. The sample included nearly 12,000 vehicles weighing less than or equal to 55,000 GVWR. The data used represents the patterns we have seen from the industry average of the selected sample.
The new benchmarking application features improvements for a more dynamic customer experience and deeper understanding of fleet data. With an expanded report set, increased visualizations and filter capabilities and macro-level Benchmark Study trends, the redesign delivers an in-depth data reporting experience on an intuitive and interactive platform.
Starting with reliable, high-quality data is the first step for successful reporting. This gives your organization a full view of what’s going on within, share reports with full confidence and make smarter, data-backed business decisions. To get to this point, however, data quality starts with unified data streams, error-free information and appropriate storage.
A benchmark can be applied to any facet of your fleet’s operations. From maintenance to vehicle class, process to product – a benchmark is always a good idea.
With great growth often comes a few growing pains along the way. And it seems the same is true for the utility fleet industry.
