Fleet Hierarchy
In Arabicهيكل الأسطول
The tiered grouping of a fleet's vehicles, such as company, branch and category, on which reports, alarms and user access are built.
What is a fleet hierarchy?
A large fleet is not run as one long list. The administrator splits it into levels that mirror how the business works, such as branches, cities or projects, then vehicle types within each, so figures can be read per unit and each manager answers for their own vehicles.
On Safee's Company Structure page a company is divided into sites, each site into categories and subcategories, and each vehicle belongs to one category. Reports, the dashboard, alarms and user permissions all follow this tree.
How it works
- 1Levels built around operations
- 2Each vehicle placed in its category
- 3Reports and permissions follow the tree
Why does a fleet hierarchy matter?
A well-planned hierarchy means each branch manager sees only their vehicles, fuel and violation figures compare across branches without spreadsheets, and alarms apply to the right group. A careless one mixes up the numbers and gives users wider access than they need.
What you gain
- A ready report per branch
- Access limited by level
- Alarms on the right group
How does Safee help you build and use a fleet hierarchy?
Safee builds reports, the dashboard, alarms and user permissions on the fleet hierarchy, so each branch manager sees only their own vehicles and figures, and branches compare without manual work. When a project or branch moves, its vehicles move in one go with the Move Vehicles wizard and their reports and alarms follow.
A field example
A cement producer in Dammam ran 140 mixers and bulk tankers as one flat list, and its accountant split the figures by plant by hand every month. The administrator rebuilt the structure as 3 plant sites, each with a mixer and a tanker category. When a project moved to Jubail, 14 trucks were moved in one go within minutes. Each plant manager now receives a ready report and the manual split has stopped.
Frequently asked questions
Can a vehicle belong to more than one branch?
In Safee a vehicle sits in one category within one site; if its work changes, it is moved to the new level.
What happens to reports and alarms after a vehicle is moved?
The vehicle follows its new level in reports and alarms and may fall under different alarm conditions there, so check them after the move.
Should I structure my fleet by city or by vehicle type?
First by who is accountable, such as branch or project, then by type within each level, so reports match managers' responsibilities.
