Site Vehicle Activity Report

The Site Vehicle Activity Overview Report provides a comprehensive view of all site visits made by vehicles within a selected date range.

Updated over a month ago

It combines data from multiple tracking sources to deliver detailed insights into site activity, including visit duration, media captured, material usage, and associated notes.

This report is commonly used for:

  • Service verification

  • Operational reporting

  • Customer documentation

  • Liability protection

  • Performance analysis

  • Job and invoicing workflows (Pro Feature)

What the Report Displays

For each site visit, the report includes:

  • Site name

  • Vehicle

  • Visit start and end time

  • Calculated duration on site

  • Media (images and audio)

  • Notes (including audio transcriptions)

  • Material dispensed (if MTS installed)

  • Plots and activity data

  • Associated services (if configured)

A visit is fundamentally defined as:

Vehicle + Site + Time Period

Integration with Multiple Tracking Devices

The system can combine data from multiple devices installed in the same vehicle.

Examples:

  • Dashcam

    • Images

    • Audio notes

    • GPS movement

  • MTS (Material Tracking System)

    • Material dispensed

    • Application rates

    • Operational activity

When both devices are installed:

  • Dashcam and MTS plots appear together.

  • MTS plots typically show:

    • Red β†’ Material dispensed

    • Black β†’ No material dispensed

This provides a complete operational picture for each visit.

Visit Duration Calculation

Visit duration is calculated using advanced logic rather than simply subtracting start time from end time.

This is because:

  • Vehicles may move between adjacent or joined sites.

  • The system avoids incorrectly splitting visits when movement occurs within connected areas.

As a result:

The reported time on site may be less than the difference between start and end timestamps.

This behavior is intentional and improves accuracy.

Visit Thresholds and Defaults

Because GPS and site boundaries are not always perfectly accurate, the system uses configurable thresholds to prevent false visits.

Minimum Visit Duration (Configurable)

  • Default: 15 seconds

  • Purpose: Prevents very short or accidental visits from being recorded.

  • Scope: Account-wide setting

  • Can be changed upon request.

Grace Minutes (Configurable)

Grace minutes determine whether a visit continues or a new visit is created when a vehicle temporarily leaves a site.

Example:

  • Vehicle exits a site

  • Returns within grace period

  • System continues the same visit

Default:

  • 5 minutes

  • Account-wide configurable setting

New Visit Initiation Threshold (Not Configurable)

If a vehicle leaves a site and there is a gap longer than:

15 minutes

A new visit will automatically be created.

This threshold is fixed and cannot currently be changed.

Services Associated with Visits

Services can be linked to visits in two ways.

1. Default Service per Vehicle

Each vehicle can have a default service assigned.

This service will automatically attach to:

Every visit made by that vehicle.

This is useful for:

  • Reporting

  • Dashboards

  • Active vehicle tracking

  • Service-type analytics

2. Audio Keyword Service Tagging (Pro Feature)

The system can automatically associate services using audio notes recorded on site.

Process:

  1. Driver records a verbal note.

  2. System auto-transcribes the audio.

  3. Keywords are detected.

  4. Matching service is attached to the visit.

This feature requires:

  • Services configured with keywords

  • Audio transcription enabled

This is considered a Pro Feature and is not widely used by all organizations.

Media and Notes

Each visit may include:

  • Images

  • Audio recordings

  • Text notes

  • Transcribed audio

Notes are permanently saved with the visit record and can be used for documentation or dispute resolution.

Converting Visits to Jobs (Pro Feature)

Visits can be converted into jobs for operational and invoicing workflows.

This is particularly valuable because:

Many customers use jobs to generate invoices.

Automations can be configured to convert visits into jobs automatically if required fields exist, such as:

  • Site

  • Service

This capability is considered a Pro Feature.

Vehicle vs User Identification

When a visit is converted to a job:

  • The job is associated with a vehicle, not a person.

If user identification is required for:

  • Payroll

  • Operator tracking

  • Time reporting

It must be handled separately.

Recommended method:

Use time sheets for user and operator tracking.

Data Consistency Across Views

The same underlying data structure is used across multiple system views, including:

  • Site + Vehicle Activity Overview

  • Live Storm Tracking

  • Reports and dashboards

Core information remains consistent across all views:

  • Time on site

  • Material usage

  • Media

  • Plots

  • Notes

Report Grouping Options

The report can be grouped by:

  • Sites

  • Vehicles

This allows flexible operational analysis depending on user needs.

Summary

The Site + Vehicle Activity Overview Report provides a unified operational record by combining:

  • Location tracking

  • Media documentation

  • Material data

  • Service information

It supports operational visibility, documentation, and billing workflows while maintaining configurable thresholds to ensure accurate visit detection.
