Collective Data, Inc., a provider of fleet operations management software systems, has released collectiveFleet 6.1, a new version of the software that adds a variety of base features and reporting improvements to users.
"We took a close look at the existing features of the system and wanted to accommodate as many of the bigger, more common requests our customers were asking for in the next version," said Jake Workman, a client solutions engineer at Collective Data.
Version 6.1 includes a number of fixes, new functionality, and new reports to help improve customer productivity and allow for more detailed tracking in some areas. Some of the new features of version 6.1 include:
Mission Control – Mission Control is a dashboard-style screen that allows a user to manage various aspects of the fleet in one place. Users will see a summary of important key performance indicators that they can take action on with ease. This was previously an optional module for the software but is now included as a base feature.

When adding a work order, a warning requirement will display if another work order is currently open on the same piece of Equipment
New fields added to the Fuel Log screen for more detailed tracking
Updates can now be applied without disconnecting or requiring users to log out ahead of time
Password complexity enhancements added for improved security
Reports – A variety of new reports were added to meet a variety of requests. Some existing reports also received formatting improvements. A few of them include:
