Use the Utilization app to understand how assets are being used across your fleet and where they are located. Compare utilization across asset types and sites to identify unused, underutilized, or heavily used assets and make informed decisions about fleet capacity and asset allocation.
For example, you can find assets to relocate where they are needed, identify heavily used assets that need closer monitoring, and spot opportunities to right-size your fleet.
The Utilization app is available on the Evolve and Expand pricing packages. Reach out to your Sales Representative for more information.
View your fleet utilization
Log in to Trackunit Manager.
Select the Utilization app from the left-side navigation bar.
Choose Daily Hours, Operating Days, or Average Distance above the main chart to decide how you want to compare your assets.
Main chart metrics | Description |
Daily Hours | The average number of hours the asset was used on days it actually ran during the selected period. Days with no usage are not included. |
Operating Days | The total number of days an asset was used during the selected period. |
Average Distance | The average distance travelled per day on days the asset moved during the selected period. Days with no travel are not included. Shown in kilometers or miles, according to your profile preferences |
Note: Changing the metrics above the main chart only changes the data on the main chart itself. It does not change the asset list, map, or other utilization widgets.
Filter the assets you want to analyze
Filters determine which assets are included for analysis and comparison across the Utilization app.
Use filters to narrow down your fleet by:
Site
Groups
Asset type
Daily Hours
Operating Days
Average Distance
You can also select one of the colored bars directly in the main chart to filter by that range. For example, select the 12–14 hours bar while viewing Daily Hours to apply the same range as selecting 12–14 hours from the Daily Hours filter.
Select the bar again to remove the filter.
When you filter by the metric currently shown in the main chart, all ranges remain visible so you can keep the full distribution in context. Your selected ranges are highlighted, while the other ranges are grayed out
You can also adjust the time period in the top right corner to view data from the last 7, 30, 60 or 90 days.
For example, if you want to find boom lifts that are rarely used:
Filter by Asset type → Boom lift.
Choose the period you want to analyze.
Select Daily Hours above the main chart.
Select the low-utilization range from the bar in the main chart.
The main chart, asset list, map, and utilization widgets update based on your filters.
Find assets on the map
Use the map to see where the assets matching your filters are located. This can help you combine utilization and location data when deciding whether assets could be relocated.
Red: Unused — 0 daily hours
Blue: Normal usage — more than 0 and less than 12 daily hours
Yellow: Heavily utilized — 12 or more daily hours
Black: Utilization data is not available
Note: Map colors always represent Daily Hours, regardless of which metric you are viewing in the main chart.
Switching the main chart to Operating Days or Average Distance does not change the map. However, if you select a bar in the main chart or apply a filter, the map updates to show only the assets matching your filters.
Zoom in on clusters or select an individual asset to see more information.
Identify heavily used assets
The Heavily used widget helps you identify assets with high average daily usage.
By default, an asset is considered heavily used when its average Daily Hours are 12 hours or more.
You can adjust the threshold by clicking on the filter icon on the top right corner of the widget to match how your organization defines heavy usage*. Your selected threshold is saved for your user.
*Note: The custom threshold only applies to the Heavily used widget. The main chart, asset list, and map continue to use the default threshold of 12 Daily Hours.
Identify underutilized assets
The Unused widget helps you identify assets which might be underutilized.
By default, the widget will show assets with 0 daily hours in the selected time period.
You can adjust the threshold by clicking on the filter icon on the top right corner of the widget*
*Note: Changing the threshold only applies to the Unused widget count. Changing this threshold does not change the bars, the main chart or the asset list. The map’s heavily utilized category remains fixed at 12 or more Daily Hours.
Investigate an asset in more detail
If you have identified an asset you want to investigate, select it from the asset list to open Asset Home.
There you can review the asset’s usage and performance in more detail. For assets of the type vehicles, Asset Home also plots distance travelled against daily operating hours, helping you compare the two day by day.
Why does an asset show N/A?
N/A means the selected utilization metric is not available for that asset.
For Daily Hours and Operating Days, this usually means no utilization data was reported during the selected period.
For Average Distance, it can also mean that the asset does not have a distance source or does not support distance tracking.
If you expect the asset to report utilization data, use the troubleshooting guide for your device:
