We have introduced the ability for Whip Around users to create custom dashboards comprised of multiple charts. These charts can provide a comprehensive view of a user's fleet performance.

Pre-built charts and graphs - This allows users to choose from pre-built charts which gives them insights about the most important fleet maintenance data (e.g. Assets with the most defects, total work orders per asset type, etc.)
Real-time data - Customers will gain access to real-time data offering insights into their vehicle's performance in a highly visual way.
Data export: Users can export data from their custom dashboards and charts to a variety of formats, including CSV and Excel.
