Vigillo LLC, creator of the original CSA benchmarking Scorecards, says the newest version now incorporates advanced 'Driver Essentials'. Included are "significant" improvements, the company says, that enable users to take full advantage of the reporting system --  and see just how a driver score affects their overall CSA score.

The new system categorizes drivers by various CSA-related measures and enables many often-requested features such as separate CSMS and DSMS views, historical snapshot data, and filter and sorting options.

Features of CSA Driver Essentials include multiple list views, allowing users to choose between viewing drivers in two-year Carrier SMS or three-year Driver SMS formats, or by points, DSMS percentile, inspections or violations for each BASIC.

You can also view all driver information as it is currently or in past monthly snapshot dates.

The search function has been improved, allowing driver searches by name, number, licence number, licence jurisdiction, or all parameters. All columns are sortable in the new driver list simply by clicking the column heading. Click again to sort in reverse order.

In addition, three new robust export data links have also been added to CSA Scorecards. Data export tools now include the Driver Summary Export, with summarized CSA data for each driver including inspections, violations, points, DSMS percentiles and OOS for each BASIC. You can easily sort and filter this data to identify drivers, terminals or managers having the most effect on your CSA scores.

Other exports cover crashes, inspections and violations.
