This guide provides a comprehensive overview of the Astra TMS Analytics Dashboard, designed to help fleet managers and owners interpret real-time performance metrics and business intelligence.
1. Top-Level Financial & Operational KPIs
The header section provides an immediate snapshot of the company's health for the selected period (Day, Week, Month, Year).
Total Loads: The total number of shipments processed.
Total Revenue: Gross income generated from all completed and active loads.
Total Expenses: The sum of all operational costs including fuel, tolls, driver pay, and maintenance.
Net Profit: The bottom-line earnings (Revenue minus Expenses), accompanied by a margin percentage.
Pickups & Deliveries Today: Real-time tracking of daily activity, showing the number of "On-Time" vs. "Late" status updates.
Active Fleet: The number of power units currently assigned to active loads.
Invoices Due: A financial health indicator showing the dollar amount of pending and overdue invoices.
2. Performance Efficiency Metrics
These gauges measure the quality of service and asset usage.
Avg Delivery: The average time taken to complete a shipment from pickup to drop-off.
On-Time Rate: The percentage of loads delivered within the customer's requested window.
Satisfaction: A feedback-driven score (likely based on customer or driver ratings).
Utilization: Measures how effectively your trucks are being used compared to their total available capacity.
3. Trend Analysis & Data Visualization
Revenue & Expense Trend: A line graph that tracks financial fluctuations over time. This helps identify seasonal dips or periods where expenses are outstripping revenue.
Load Distribution: A visual breakdown of freight types or regional concentrations to see where your business is most active.
4. Strategic Partner & Staff Insights
These tables identify the top performers and most valuable relationships in your network.
Top Customers: Lists clients by revenue and load count, helping you identify your most profitable accounts.
Top Carriers: If brokering loads, this tracks which partner carriers are moving the most volume.
Dispatcher Performance: Evaluates staff based on the number of loads managed and total commission earned.
Sales Representative Performance: Tracks the revenue generated by the sales team and their total commissions.
5. Operational Footprint & Maintenance
Driver Earnings & Efficiency: A leaderboard showing driver earnings and "RPM" (Revenue Per Mile), used to identify the most efficient operators.
Operational Footprint (Geographic): A state-by-state breakdown of active loads, truck density, and total miles. This is critical for IFTA reporting and regional planning.
Maintenance Insight: Tracks total maintenance costs and frequency. This section helps predict when assets will be offline and prevents unexpected breakdowns.
Astra TMS Pro-Tip: Filtering Data
Use the Date Picker and Ship Date dropdown in the top right corner to isolate specific timeframes. Comparing "This Month" to "Previous Month" (indicated by the green/red percentage labels) is the fastest way to spot growth or operational decline.
