Isaac Instruments recently rolled out Isaac Analytics, a new feature within the Isaac platform designed to help trucking clients make strategic decisions informed by data instead of gut feelings.
Backed by the power of business intelligence (BI), Isaac Analytics keeps fleets on top of their operational costs, fuel efficiency, asset utilization, and safety and compliance statistics, the software provider reported. Users have access to Isaac’s 360° Insights and easy-to-use dashboards that visually explain factors behind the data so fleets can quickly act on emerging trends.
“We are pleased to offer Isaac Analytics and believe this will help trucking fleets make better strategic decisions,” J.S. Bouchard, Isaac chief product officer and co-founder, said in a news release. “By highlighting the most impactful patterns in all of the raw data, Isaac can play a key role in helping fleets succeed every season and over the long term.”
Data metrics include Isaac Coach scores, miles-per-gallon, and asset utilization, as well as critical events such as hard braking, engine idling, and hours-of-service violations. Fleets can review two years of information, allowing them to focus on year-over-year and month-over-month performance trends.
They can also customize the categories by terminal, driver, or fleet manager.
“Isaac Analytics is another way we provide greater value for our fleet clients from their collected data, all while maintaining strict data privacy and cybersecurity protocols,” said Jacques DeLarochelliere, Isaac CEO and co-founder.
Prior to officially launching Isaac Analytics, 12 fleet clients participated in a pilot program that included 8,500 trucks and 11,000 drivers, Isaac stated. Collectively, they covered 1 billion miles and burned 147 million gallons of diesel. There were also 1.2 million critical events recorded during 21 million driving hours, all of which provide figures for fleets to benchmark their performance.
“The biggest benefit I see from this platform is the consolidation of the rich data Isaac has,” said Matthew Campbell, Challenger Motor Freight manager of transformational excellence and analytics. “Isaac Analytics transforms and cleanses all of the data points and puts it into a one-stop shop.
“That alone is super powerful.”
