Xata Corporation, Minneapolis, added a new self-service reporting tool to its core product, Xatanet, which allows customers to more effectively use their data to create additional reports tailored to their fleet operations needs.


"Flexibility is the key benefit of the improved reporting tool," said Tom Flies, senior vice president, product management.

Xatanet self-service reporting also allows customers to perform mathematical functions on their existing fleet data to evaluate fleet performance or other management criteria. Features available within the tool include specifying parameters or filters for accessing the data, as well as the ability to display and save reports as PDFs, Microsoft Excel spreadsheets or other standard formats.

Examples of reports customers could create using the XatanetSelf-Service Reporting tool include:

• Driver and vehicle reports, such as speeding and idle time that are unique to customer operations
• Driver fuel-analysis reports, such as MPG usage by region and vehicle
• User-definable delivery and route reports and such custom performance reports as fuel analysis, MPG and speeding

The enhanced reporting capability is part of the Xatanet 4.3 release and will be available in November 2008.
