Fleet Calculator (Performance Dashboard)

Navigation from your Home screen:   > FLEET CALCULATOR

Use the FLEET Calculator tool on the Fleet Performance dashboard to create different “what-if” scenarios by changing your Length of Use (LOU), Utilization percentage, and Turn Rate values for your monthly RO Throughput (repair orders completed per month).

As a result, the Fleet Calculator shows you the required fleet size for the values you have entered, as well as recommended values for the industry.

Use this information to make business decisions that aim for a lower LOU and a higher utilization percentage so you can write more ROs and ultimately bring in more revenue.

Example: Let's say, with 26 business days per month and 65 units in your fleet, you write about 615 ROs, and your LOU is 2.75. This means your Turn Rate is 9.45; (26 business days ÷ 2.75 LOU); in other words, you can use each unit in your fleet on an agreement 9.45 times per month. But what if you cut down your LOU to 2.50? Your Turn Rate increases to 10.40 and your monthly ROs can increase to 676 with the same fleet size (10.40 Turn Rate x 65 Fleet Size). That's an additional two (2) ROs per day, 61 ROs per month, and 732 ROs per year with the same fleet! See "Best Practices: Length of Use (LOU)" for tips on managing your LOU.

  1. Enter your RO Throughput, or the average number of repair orders (ROs) you write in a month. To get an idea of what this number may be, try taking the Agreements Per Day metric on your Agreement Performance dashboard (for 90-day performance) and multiplying it by your number of business days in a month.
  2. Enter your business days per month, if different from the default (the number of days in the current month except Sundays).
  3. Based on this information and your current fleet performance data over 90 days, the tool displays your actual metrics compared to recommended values for the industry. See "Understand the metrics: calculations and recommendations" in this topic for more information.
  4. To understand how these metrics can affect your fleet size, you can edit your actual LOU, Utilization, and Turn Rate values. (To reset all values back to their defaults, tap RESET.)
