Reducing Operational Risk Through Better Fleet Data

Every fleet generates a mountain of data - vehicle telematics, fuel records, service logs, driver behaviour, incident reports. But few operators use that information effectively. When analysed correctly, fleet data isn’t just numbers: it’s a roadmap to reducing risk and saving money.

From Reactive to Proactive
Too many operations respond only when something breaks or fails. Data-driven management flips that approach. By tracking indicators like tyre wear, driver acceleration patterns, or idle time, you can predict issues before they cause downtime.

Key Metrics that Matter
Focus on meaningful data, not everything at once. Start with three pillars: safety (incident frequency, near-misses), efficiency (fuel economy, downtime), and compliance (inspection pass rates, service intervals).

Turning Data into Insight
Raw numbers don’t help unless they’re visualised and discussed. A monthly dashboard review with key staff turns data into decision-making. It’s about patterns - not single events.

Going Green: Transition to Electric Vehicles through Data
Through analysis of bulk data dumps of numbers upon numbers, LATUS helped one client map out their road to transitioning to an EV fleet. Data was vital at garnering budgetary support, showing not only how much money could be saved, but exactly how much it would cost over a lifecycle plan.

At LATUS, we help organisations collect, interpret, and act on their fleet data through tailored dashboards and coaching. Our approach simplifies data analytics so you can focus on making informed, risk-reducing decisions that keep your people and vehicles safe. Let us help you take the confusion out of fleet management.
