Feature Summary
Driver Management is a feature set that gives asset managers the ability to generate and maintain accurate records related to the use of assets and can also be used to keep labor logs for those employees exclusively responsible for operating assets. Through assignment, auditing, and logs, managers have a system that can tell them who was operating an asset on any given date or time, down to the minute, assuming proper use. This can be helpful for determining responsibility during an incident reported after the fact and can also help track and assess driver performance when compared to other logs available at the asset level.

Additional Information
Drivers
Drivers are actually asset operators and are called Drivers because the Driver Management feature set was created for regulatory compliance needs of portal users. Because the majority of operator activity with regard to assets is vehicle-related, the Driver feature set caters to the needs of Driver Management that many organizations employ to meet regulatory demands or facilitate accounting practices for freelancers.
Drivers exist in the portal as entities that can be assigned to assets and who can log into that asset as a Driver type either from the asset or through the portal. Each Driver, when logged in, is able to generate and store logs, and the activity of the asset while that Driver is logged in can be tied back for use with other features like advanced reports.
