Problems solved by technology

Likewise, volatile economic climates have increased competition in various industry sectors and prompted competing businesses to provide better services at a lower cost.
Although such technology allows businesses to capture large amounts of operational data reflecting a variety of operational characteristics, many businesses are unable to effectively utilize such data to improve efficiencies.
This problem is commonly the result of an inability to effectively translate otherwise overwhelming amounts of data into a format that is meaningful in the context of analyzing a particular efficiency.

Abstract

Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to a fleet management computer system for assessing delivery performance. According to various embodiments, the fleet management computer system may be configured for assessing operational data to identify the occurrence of one or more delivery stops, identify one or more stop attributes for each of the identified delivery stops, and generate a graphical display indicating the identified delivery stops and stop attributes. In addition, the fleet management computer system may be configured to assess the operational data to determine dispatch statistics including cumulative or average delivery performance statistics grouped according to various working shifts.
