Benchmarking Metrics

IntelliShift's benchmarking feature compares metrics across fleet utilization, idle, G-Force events, and Speeding events. Click on a metric category to view information related to your company's performance against the benchmark.

The metric categories display the following information:

• Utilization Metrics
  • Average Miles Driven
    • Total miles driven divided by the number of active assets
  • Average Daily Number of Stops
    • Total number of stops divided by the number of active assets
• Idle Metrics 
  • Idle Time Percent
    • Total idle hours divided by total engine hours shown as a percent
  • Stop and Idle Compliance Percent
    • Idle hours divided by total stop hours shown as a percent (Idle = engine running, not in motion and PTO not engaged; Stop time = stop duration greater than 5 minutes)
• G-Force Events
  • G-Force Events
    • Number of harsh braking events per 100 miles driven
  • Harsh Turning Events
    • Number of harsh turning events per 100 miles driven
  • Rapid Acceleration Events
    • Number of rapid acceleration events per 100 miles driven
• Speeding Events 
  • Speeding Events
    • Number of speeding events per 100 miles driven (A speeding "event" for Benchmarking is considered when an asset is 10 MPH over the posted speed limit.)
  • Speeding Duration
    • Percent of time spent driving 10 MPH over the posted speed limit divided by the total drive hours (Drive Hours = Engine on and more than 5 miles driven) 

Filter your metrics to find specific information by branch or date. To open the filter options, select "Filters" in the top right-hand corner.

Understanding Your Metrics

When selecting a benchmarking category, three data blocks and a graph will display per metric. These data blocks offer key performance insights.

The Stat Blocks display the following information:

• Company
  • Average company results over the period shown on the graph
• Benchmark
  • Average benchmark (industry average) for the time period shown on the graph
• Variance
  • The difference between your company's performance and the benchmark
  • A positive number variance (e.g., "5") indicates your company is higher than the benchmark.
  • A "-" symbol in front of your variance (e.g., "-5") indicates your company is lower than the benchmark. This benchmark will allow you to set realistic goals for improvement.

The x-axis displays time, while the y-axis displays the specific metric. Bars on the graph reflect your company's performance, while the line displays the benchmark performance (industry average).
