An electric-truck performance platform for a Brisbane start-up

Revora (an innovative company building and leasing electric, refrigerated trucks at the intersection of sustainability and efficiency) wanted to show prospective clients, as part of its customer-centric approach, exactly what a platform to monitor their electric truck fleet would look like.

That platform had to present a wide range of metrics, from battery status and range to speed, distance travelled, and refrigerator operation and temperature.

It also had to demonstrate live tracking of trucks and detailed information about each charging station, a compelling picture that depended on combining telematics and electricity-grid data into something customers could readily grasp.

We partnered with Revora to develop a suite of operational dashboards intended to serve as a proof of concept for future client-facing monitoring.

We created a dynamic data model in Alteryx, tapping into telematics and electrical-grid data. This formed the backbone of the solution and enabled granular insight into every aspect of the fleet's operations.

We then built a user-friendly, interactive dashboard in Tableau, displaying the full array of fleet metrics and including a live map tracking each truck's position and route.

We incorporated an example customer-site monitoring system, detailing the status and electricity output of each charger alongside grid and solar supply, and designed the whole experience to speak to customers rather than only to analysts.

The result was an intuitive, functional and aesthetically pleasing set of dashboards that gave Revora a practical way to show customers how they would track their electric trucks, a tantalising glimpse into the future of fleet monitoring.

The dashboard was presented at the Brisbane Truck Show, where it proved very popular with attendees.

The project demonstrated the power of effective data visualisation as a sales and fleet-planning tool, giving customers a real sense of future fleet monitoring.

It gave Revora a compelling, data-driven foundation to build on as the business grew.
