Driver Management tab

First available in TMW Back Office 17.50

Driver Management requires the same server/workstation setup as TMW Back Office.

Also, verify that all these requirements are met:

You are using TMW Back Office V. 17.50 or later.
TMWSuite® V. 2017.17_01 or later is installed to your database
Microsoft .NET Framework versions 4.6 or later is installed.
You have Reveal.Business Reports and Dashboards 2017.3 or higher installed, or you have an active Reveal.Business subscription. (required to view the Data Warehouse scorecards)

Note: Professional Services hours are included with your Reveal.Business purchase. These training hours include working with you to set up the feature, as well as setting up the scorecards.

The Driver Management tab has two sections: Data from the TMWSuite database and Data from the Data Warehouse database.

If you are using a custom tab layout for the driver profile, you must recreate your layout to see the Driver Management tab.

The Driver Management feature gives you a one-stop-shop for reviewing driver information in the driver profile. To access the driver’s profile, go to Tools > Profiles > Driver Profile, then enter the driver’s ID.

The Driver Management tab displays driver information from two sources.

Data from the TMWSuite database displays on the left side of the window.
- Driver classifications, such as Team Leader Fleet, Division, Domicile, Company, and Terminal
- Data from the driver’s last ten trips
- Driver’s pay information recorded in Trimble for the last ten pay periods
- Current or upcoming driver expirations
- Driver accident information recorded on the Accidents tab
  
  Note: The Accidents tab was added in TMW Back Office V. 17.50.
Data from the Trimble Data Warehouse database displays in a dashboard on the right side of the window.

The dashboard shows scorecards of key performance indicators (KPIs) and driver scores. Access to this information requires that you are licensed for TMW’s Reveal.Business. It is available as an on-premise installation or as software as subscription.

By default, data from the TMWSuite database is displayed on the left side of the Driver Management window for all users. A license for TMW’s Reveal.Business is not required.

Driver classifications

This section displays important driver classifications, such as Team Leader, Fleet, Division, Domicile, Company, and Terminal.

You assign these classifications to a driver on the Placement tab. To access it, click the Modify link.

You define driver classification options in the label file. You use the TeamLeader, Fleet, Division, Domicile, Company, and Terminal labels.

Driver trips

The Last 10 Trips section displays importing information about the driver’s last ten trips, including:

Leg number (trip segment)
Order number
Status
Mileage
Revenue
Pay
Important trip dates and locations

If you want to view the entire trip in the Trip Folder, click on the Leg No link.

Driver pay

The Last 10 Paychecks section displays summary pay information recorded in Trimble for the driver’s last ten pay periods. It shows the:

Pay period date
Amount paid to the driver
Average amount of pay for all drivers in the pay period

Driver expirations

The Expirations section displays a summarized list of the driver’s current or upcoming expirations. You can view the entire expiration record on the Expirations tab by clicking the ID link. On the Expirations tab you can add, edit, or remove any of the driver’s expirations.

Driver accidents

The Driver Accidents section displays a summary of the information recorded on the Accidents tab. To access the tab and see all the recorded details, click the link in the Accident Number column. On the Accidents tab, you can add, edit, or remove any of the driver’s accident records.

Default scorecards

If you are licensed for TMW’s Reveal.Business, the Driver Management feature is set up to display eight default scorecards.

In these scorecards, the numbers on the X axis represent weeks. This can be set up to use either of the following:

The week’s starting or ending date, such as 6/17/17
The week’s number in the year, such as the 24th week of the year

You are not limited to the eight default scorecards. You can create your own scorecards based on information stored in the Trimble Data Warehouse database. Or, you can work with TMW’s Professional Services team to set up your scorecards.

Definitions of the default scorecards:

Field	Definition
Order Count and Pct Utilized	This information is shown as a dual graph. The columns show the number of orders the driver delivered per week. The line element shows the driver’s percent of utilization.
Mileage and Deadhead Pct	This information is shown as a dual graph. The columns show the number of empty and loaded miles in separate colors. The line element shows the percent of empty miles driven per week.
