Purpose of the Report
The Asset Utilisation dashboard is designed to provide insight into how equipment assets are being utilised across customers, sites, and equipment types. It enables users to monitor equipment status, analyse utilisation levels, and understand the age profile of their asset fleet.
The dashboard is divided into three pages, each focusing on a different aspect of asset management:
Asset Utilisation – Provides an overview of equipment status and usage across the asset fleet.
Status and Usage – Displays equipment grouped by utilisation and operational status, allowing users to identify assets with light or heavy usage.
Equipment Age – Analyses the age distribution of equipment to support maintenance planning, lifecycle management, and replacement decisions.
Together, these pages provide valuable operational insight into equipment utilisation, helping organisations maximise asset performance and make informed asset management decisions.
How to Access the Dashboard
From the main navigation menu, select the Self Service module.
Open the All Standard Dashboards folder.
Locate Asset Utilisation.
Click Preview to open the dashboard.
Apply any desired filters. The dashboard will automatically refresh based on the filters selected.

Final Remarks
The Asset Utilisation dashboard provides a comprehensive view of equipment utilisation, operational status, and asset age across the organisation. By combining utilisation metrics, equipment status analysis, and lifecycle reporting into a single dashboard, users can better understand how assets are performing and where improvements may be needed.
Regular review of this dashboard can help optimise equipment utilisation, support preventative maintenance planning, improve asset allocation, and inform replacement strategies for aging equipment. These insights contribute to more effective asset management, increased operational efficiency, and better long-term investment decisions.
