Cost analysis report
3+
====================
4+
5+
The **Fleet** app allows for analysis on :ref:`total vehicle costs <fleet/total-costs>`, including
6+
both contract costs and service and repair charges. Data can be adjusted to view total costs by
7+
:ref:`vehicle <fleet/by-vehicle>` or :ref:`driver <fleet/by-driver>`. Additionally, costs can be
8+
compared with the previous year, quarter, or month, to view changes in fleet costs over time.

Total costs
13+
===========
14+
15+
To view the *Cost Analysis Report*, navigate to :menuselection:`Fleet app --> Reporting --> Costs`.
16+
The default report shows a bar chart of service and contract costs for the current year, organized
17+
by month.
18+
19+
.. example::
20+
In this report, it is possible to determine that June had the highest total costs, with almost
21+
$14,000 dollars in contract and repair costs, while January had the lowest costs, with less than
22+
$2,000 of contract costs and no repairs.

Cost by vehicle
30+
===============
31+
32+
Some companies want to view costs not by month, but by vehicle. This allows fleet managers to
33+
determine which vehicles cost the most to keep on the road, aiding in decision making for future
34+
purchases and repairs.
35+
36+
To view these metrics, open the default :ref:`cost analysis report <fleet/total-costs>`. Next, click
37+
into the search bar, and click :guilabel:`Vehicle` under the :icon:`oi-group` :guilabel:`Group By`
38+
column.
39+
40+
.. example::
41+
From this report, it can be determined the `Toyota Corolla` with the license plate `STU-1718`
42+
cost the most, with almost $14,000 in costs for the year. Additionally, the both `Nissan Micro`
43+
vehicles and the `Ford Focus` cost the least, with under $5,000 in total costs each.
44+
45+

.. _fleet/by-driver:
49+
50+
Cost by driver
51+
==============
52+
53+
Another useful metric is to determine which drivers incur the most repair costs, allowing fleet
54+
managers to determine which vehicles to assign which drivers. To view this configuration, open the
55+
default :ref:`cost analysis report <fleet/total-costs>`. Next, click into the search bar, and click
56+
:guilabel:`Driver` under the :icon:`oi-group` :guilabel:`Group By` column. Finally, click the
57+
:icon:`oi-view-pivot` :guilabel:`(Pivot)` icon.
58+
59+
The report now shows the totals for both :guilabel:`Contract` and :guilabel:`Service` costs for each
60+
driver in the database. This allows fleet managers to see which drivers incur the most repair costs.
61+
62+
.. example::
63+
This report shows that `Sandra Elvis` had no service costs for the year, while both `Doris Cole`
64+
and `David Armstrong` had almost $9,000 in repairs. While this does not explain why those two
65+
drivers incurred the most costs, it is possible for the fleet manager to :ref:`investigate the
66+
service records <fleet/view-services>` for those two drivers, to determine why there were such
67+
high costs for the year.

72+
Detailed comparison
73+
===================
74+
75+
All reports in the **Fleet** app are able to compare costs from previous time periods, either year,
76+
quarter, or month. To view a detailed cost comparison between the third and fourth quarter, open the
77+
default :ref:`cost analysis report <fleet/total-costs>`, then click the :icon:`oi-view-pivot`
78+
:guilabel:`(Pivot)` icon. Next, click into the search bar and click :guilabel:`Q4` in the
79+
:icon:`fa-filter` :guilabel:`Filters` column, then :guilabel:`Date: Previous Period` in the
80+
:icon:`fa-adjust` :guilabel:`Comparison` column.
81+
82+
The report now shows detailed contract and service costs for each vehicle, with a
83+
:guilabel:`Variation` column, showing increases or decreases in costs from the third and fourth
84+
quarter of the current year.
85+
86+
87+
.. example::
88+
In this example, it can be determined that the `Ford Focus` had the greatest change in terms of
89+
lowered total costs, with a 75.25% reduction in costs. Additionally, the `Nissan Micro` with the
90+
license plate of `DEF-456` was the only vehicle with an overall increase in total costs, with an
91+
increase of 41.78%.
