What is ZenScore?
ZenScore is an add-in found within MyGeotab and it’s completely free. Simply scroll to the bottom of the sidebar, and you will see the ZenScore add-in. But what is it? Let’s dive right in.
First off, ZenScore summarizes specific key performance indicators that you can customize based on your business goals, including a view of historical data in order to observe pain areas that need improvements, for example, speeding or harsh acceleration. When you open ZenScore, your data will already be loaded automatically for your review! You can run reports based on different time periods, and see how your fleet is performing. Drivers will see the settings you created, contests you made, and they will see their performance all on their phone or tablet! All they need to do is download the ZenScore Mobile App.
Once you know where you need improvements, you may create contests and view your driver’s scores based on the KPI’s you set. For example, if your fleet is speeding too much, you can create a contest within ZenScore based on speeding, then rank your drivers based on this KPI. The drivers will see the final results of the contest, which will help incentivize improvements. You may also decide to give a reward to the winners for extra motivation!
As an added feature, built in training videos are available to drivers that are continually struggling with areas such as hard acceleration, harsh braking, and harsh cornering, etc. These training videos may also be used for new drivers that just came on board. You may also easily add your own videos that you find are effective.
As a new feature, you have the capability to create your own dashboards where you can add widgets such as heat maps, incidents summaries, idling line charts, HOS violations, Driver Scores, and much more! Use the Dashboards to display in your office to see how your fleet is performing in real-time!
