How can you define the best strategy for your fleet? How can you optimise TCO? How can the impact of a sustainable development policy be measured? These are questions which decision-makers ask themselves every day, and Arval has just launched an innovative response by making available a genuinely strategic reporting tool to assist in decision making.  Arval Analytics is designed to help our customers manage their fleet strategy more effectively. With a wide range of features and newly designed graphics, Arval Analytics is set to help you move forwards in a fast changing world.

Arval Analytics is a powerful and innovative web-based reporting tool, available 24 hours, 7 days, directly accessible on-line, with the objective of helping in the fleet decision-making process. Thierry Guerin, the project manager of the tool, and a member of the Arval Group Sales Management team, explains: “Arval Analytics is aimed principally at company decision-makers. It is a strategic fleet management tool, enabling key decision-makers to make the strategic choices which affect the whole of their fleet budget”.

As a result of using Arval Analytics, the fleet TCO is both under control and optimised, and issues surrounding Corporate Social Responsibility are measured. Business efficiency is enhanced, risks are reduced and strategic reporting is simplified.

A Business Intelligence tool

Arval Analytics works by providing a whole series of KPI’s (Key Performance Indicators) to those responsible for fleets. These KPI’s include data on the Fleet, the Overall Expenditure and Usage Cost and Corporate Social Responsibility. If an exception should arise, it is instantly identified. Key indicators show the position for a given piece of data (deliveries, disposals, spend…) for the current year, with historical data (4 years) for comparison purposes. In overall terms, this tool enables you, from the moment you enter the site, to move quickly and easily between various parameters regarding your fleet, starting with the overview and then moving on to dashboard analyses, which enable up to four KPI’s to be displayed simultaneously on the screen. 

Another level of detail is the Analysis level, which allows for a thorough analysis of particular pieces of information that you can export to Excel easily. And the simulation capacity of this unique reporting tool allows you to measure the impact of a given strategic decision in terms of costs and CO₂ emissions. Better still, a further feature is that decision-makers can now easily simulate different strategic scenarios by introducing variants to the utilisation parameters of a vehicle e.g. the fleet size or average kilometre, and thus

Arval Analytics does not simply provide you with a host of vital information, but it does this through attractive, easy to use on-screen graphics, and to prepare tailored reports for your fleet partners. Information is available per country and is compiled internationally, so that decision-makers can see what action might lead to more optimised fleet management at an international level. And clients can structure their national information in the way they want. With a click of the mouse, he can move from one to the other, with all the information being instantly updated.

In addition to your own fleet data, Arval Analytics provides you with practical market information. Which means items that really affect your fleet’s TCO, such as interest rates and national fuel prices.
Gemma Conesa, International Business Marketing Manager, comments: “CO₂ emissions and Corporate Social Responsibility figure highly in strategic objectives. The effect of selecting certain types of car or engine on fleet-wide emissions means that decision-makers can contribute to their companies’ objectives in environmental terms.”
