Improve Operational Efficiency

Better information leads to better decisions

Every day, fleet operators make hundreds of operational decisions.

Which vehicle is available? Which trailer is connected? Is the vehicle loaded? Has the trip been completed? Is the electric vehicle ready for the next assignment?

The challenge is not collecting more data.

The challenge is transforming vehicle information into operational intelligence that supports faster and better decisions.

Why operational efficiency matters

Even small operational improvements can significantly increase fleet productivity.

Better operational visibility helps organisations to:

  • Increase vehicle utilisation
  • Improve planning efficiency
  • Reduce unnecessary delays
  • Improve dispatch decisions
  • Reduce administrative effort
  • Improve customer service
  • Increase asset utilisation
  • Lower operational costs

The more accurately fleet operations can be monitored, the more efficiently vehicles, drivers and trailers can be deployed.

How Squarell helps

Squarell provides harmonised operational vehicle information directly from the vehicle networks.

Instead of combining information from multiple manufacturers and vehicle systems, applications receive one consistent information layer that supports operational planning, dispatching and fleet monitoring.

Because the information is harmonised across different vehicle brands, mixed fleets can be managed using a single software interface.

Building the Solution

The Improve Operational Efficiency Challenge is supported by the Operational Solution, combining several specialised Parameter Groups.

Live Vehicle Data (LVD)

Monitor the current operating status of every vehicle.

Typical information includes:

  • Vehicle speed
  • Ignition status
  • PTO status
  • Cruise Control
  • Fuel level
  • Engine status

Live Vehicle Data provides planners with immediate insight into vehicle activity.

Vehicle Totals (VHT)

Analyse completed vehicle activity.

Typical information includes:

  • Distance travelled
  • Fuel used
  • Engine hours
  • Idle time
  • Average vehicle speed
  • Trip statistics

Vehicle Totals support operational reporting and performance analysis.

Trip Totals (TRT)

Summarise every completed journey.

Provides information such as:

  • Trip duration
  • Distance
  • Fuel consumption
  • Average speed
  • Start and end conditions

Trip Totals simplify reporting and operational evaluation.

Vehicle Identity (VID)

Know exactly which vehicle generated the information.

Typical information includes:

  • VIN
  • Vehicle Identification
  • Vehicle Configuration
  • Manufacturer Information

Reliable identification ensures every trip and every event is linked to the correct vehicle.

ISO Trailer (ISO)

Monitor operational trailer information.

Typical information includes:

  • Trailer connection status
  • Brake information
  • Chassis information
  • TPMS
  • Diagnostic information

The ISO Trailer Parameter Group extends operational visibility beyond the tractor unit.

Live EV Data (LEV)

Monitor electric vehicle operation.

Typical information includes:

  • Battery State of Charge
  • Remaining Driving Range
  • Charging Status
  • Charging Power
  • Battery Temperature

Helping planners use electric vehicles efficiently.

EV Totals (EVT)

Analyse electric vehicle utilisation.

Typical information includes:

  • Energy consumed
  • Energy regenerated
  • Charging duration
  • Operating time
  • Trip energy statistics

Supporting operational planning for mixed diesel and electric fleets.

Business Value

Fleet operators using the Operational Solution benefit from:

  • Better operational visibility
  • Higher fleet utilisation
  • Improved dispatch decisions
  • Reduced administrative effort
  • Better trailer utilisation
  • Improved electric vehicle planning
  • More accurate reporting
  • Lower operating costs

Why Squarell?

Operational efficiency depends on having reliable information at exactly the right moment.

Squarell harmonises vehicle, trailer and electric vehicle information into one consistent operational information layer.

Instead of integrating multiple OEM-specific interfaces, applications receive one standardised data structure across mixed fleets, enabling faster development and more efficient fleet operations.
