Targets and Progress
How mileage targets work, how log entries feed progress, and how to structure targets across plans, locations, and projects.
Each usage plan can have a mileage target — a total KM goal that the plan aims to reach by its end date. As drivers complete shifts and log mileage, Fleetwise tracks accumulated progress against the target automatically.
This page explains how targets work, how to set them, and how to think about structuring targets when you have multiple plans, locations, or projects.
How Targets Work
A usage plan target has two parts:
| Setting | What It Controls |
|---|---|
| Target KMs | The total mileage goal for the plan |
| End Date | When the plan is expected to reach the target |
Every log entry within the plan contributes to a single accumulated total. The distance from each entry (end mileage minus start mileage) is summed across all vehicles and all shifts in the plan.
Progress = accumulated mileage / target mileage
For example, if a plan has a target of 10,000 KM, three vehicles, and each has logged 2,000 KM, the accumulated total is 6,000 KM — 60% progress.
Setting a Target
Open Plan Settings
Navigate to the usage plan and select the Plan Settings tab.
Set Target KMs
Enter the total mileage target in the Target KMs field.
Set the End Date
Choose the date by which the target should be reached. This drives the pace line on the Reports tab.
Save
Save the settings. The target appears immediately on the Overview and in reports.
How Logs Feed Progress
Each time a driver completes a shift and a log entry is recorded, the distance (end mileage minus start mileage) is added to the plan's accumulated total.
- All vehicles in the plan contribute to the same accumulated total.
- All shifts across the plan's full date range are included.
- The accumulated total updates as soon as a log entry is saved.
Log Promptly
Progress tracking is only as accurate as your log entries. Encourage drivers to log mileage after each shift so that the overview and reports reflect real progress.
Structuring Targets Across Plans
Targets are currently set and tracked per usage plan. There is no automatic rollup across multiple plans, work packages, or projects. When your organisation spans multiple locations or runs seasonal plans, you need to think about how to split and track targets at each level.
Within a Work Package
If one location runs multiple seasonal plans (Winter, Spring, Summer), each plan has its own target. You have two options:
- Split the target proportionally. If the full-year location goal is 10,000 KM and you have three seasonal plans, set each one's target based on expected duration and intensity (e.g. 2,000 / 4,000 / 4,000).
- Set the full target on each plan. This works if each plan is meant to independently reach the full goal, but is less common.
Across Work Packages (Locations)
When work packages separate testing by location (see Organizing Your Fleet), each location's plans have independent targets. To track a project-wide total, sum the per-location targets.
Use consistent naming to make aggregation straightforward:
| Plan | Location | Target | Accumulated |
|---|---|---|---|
| Winter Plan | HQ | 3,000 KM | 2,800 KM |
| Spring Plan | HQ | 4,000 KM | 1,200 KM |
| Spring Plan | Regional | 3,000 KM | 900 KM |
| Project Total | 10,000 KM | 4,900 KM |
Across Projects
The same principle applies. Each project's work packages and usage plans are independent. If your organisation tracks a cross-project target (e.g. total group durability mileage), sum the per-project figures manually.
Coming Soon: Aggregated Targets
Fleetwise is working on aggregated target views that roll up progress across usage plans within a work package, across work packages within a project, and across projects. Until then, use per-plan targets with consistent naming and manual summation when needed.
Tips
- Keep units consistent. All targets use KM. Mixing units across plans creates confusion when aggregating manually.
- Name plans with location suffixes. "Spring Plan - HQ" and "Spring Plan - Regional" make it obvious which plan belongs where when reviewing across work packages.
- Set targets proportional to plan duration. A 3-month plan should not carry the same target as a 6-month plan unless intensity differs.
- Log mileage promptly. Delayed logging makes the overview and reports misleading — progress appears lower than it actually is.
- Review progress regularly. Use the Overview for daily checks and Reports for trend analysis. If a plan falls behind, adjust by adding shifts, drivers, or vehicles.
