“Big Data” Doesn’t Have to Be a Big Headache

Posted on: 06/13/2013, by :

“Big data”–route speed, fuel usage, delivery time, mileage, etc.–is increasingly important, and more difficult than ever to analyze on paper, in the field service industry. Improvements in these areas can mean higher profits, lower overhead costs, and increased customer satisfaction. But the time commitment and level of difficulty involved in analyzing this data can create a logistical nightmare for companies of any size. The folks over at SmartVan recently wrote a piecehighlighting the need for companies to utilize some sort of software that can analyze the “big data” quickly, easily, and effectively. At DCT, we have responded to our clients’ evolving needs with relation to “big data” analytics, giving users the ability to maximize profit potential by analyzing driver reports, fuel usage, route speeds, and a host of other cost-driven measures. The result: increased profits, productive and efficient delivery drivers, and most importantly, happy customers.
