Technology news and briefs for the week of Feb. 19, 2023:
Geotab Inc. has released an integrated intelligence tool called Data Connector designed to help fleets address rising operating costs, supply chain, talent and regulatory pressures.
Geotab has curated specific data sets and made that data accessible through a simple, “no-code” integration with a customer’s preferred business intelligence tool, such as PowerBI, Tableau or Excel. Those data sets can then be integrated with customer fleet data from other sources such as maintenance or accounting systems, enhancing data analysis and automated reporting capabilities. Data Connector also includes report templates to quickly translate a fleet’s curated data into impactful insights while helping to develop customer reporting dashboards.
“Using Data Connector will prevent the siloing of data in organizations, breed more trust, and allow the right business stakeholders to have access to the data in a BI platform they’re already familiar with, which is ideal for all customers, but especially those with limited data management capabilities who would otherwise have to find ways of extracting this insight on their own,” said Mike Branch, vice president of data and analytics at Geotab.
Data Connector is also an effective and valuable resource for enterprise-level fleets with more established data management programs and technical resources. The tool offers a nimble, efficient and accurate approach to analyzing trends related to specific data sets and scales well whether you have a fleet of size 1 or over 100,000. Customers can access Data Connector through Geotab’s Marketplace, and easily add the tool as a data source in a preferred BI tool using existing MyGeotab login credentials.
