GE Commercial Finance Fleet Services Unveils Customized Web-Based Reporting Product

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn.--Aug. 9, 2005--GE Commercial Finance Fleet Services has launched my.Dashboard, a web-based reporting and analysis product that provides the flexibility and functionality needed to easily monitor, manage and optimize fleet performance.

As the industry's most comprehensive web-based management tool, my.Dashboard offers instant visibility to more than 50 key indicators and alerts to track how a fleet is performing against its set targets. From monitoring vehicle inventory to analyzing resale performance, my.Dashboard provides in-depth, fleet-specific, actionable data available in a customized format.

With my.Dashboard, for example, a fleet manager can compare true depreciation dollars against monthly payments by vehicle, the distance driven or the business unit over a 13 month period. This type of functionality is a first for the fleet industry, giving a historical picture of the company's spend balanced against the expected performance.

Providing immediate visibility to activities that fall outside customer-defined limits, my.Dashboard's drill down functionality to transaction specifics including unit and driver details enables fleet managers to quickly identify and address trouble areas. Multiple levels within an organization from sourcing and finance to branch managers may elect to receive an email snapshot of the dashboard for a fast and easy review of their fleet's performance.

"my.Dashboard delivers an unprecedented level of insight into a fleet," adds John Schmitz, general manager, digitization services for GE Commercial Finance Fleet Services. "my.Dashboard provides critical information and analysis that will help customers quickly and easily evaluate how their fleet is performing, identify improvement opportunities and determine where to take action to further improve performance."
