Fleets managed by spreadsheet share a common problem: fuel, maintenance, and driver data sit in different tabs, requiring manual work to understand the real cost of each vehicle. Jestor solves this with a single **operational panel**.

## What is automatic average consumption calculation, and why does it exist?

The automatic calculation combines liters fueled and mileage driven to identify, per vehicle, whether fuel spending is **within or outside the expected pattern**.

| Indicator                | What it shows                | Associated action               |
| ------------------------ | ---------------------------- | ------------------------------- |
| **Active vehicles**      | Number in operation          | Capacity planning               |
| **Upcoming maintenance** | Expected in the next 30 days | Schedule preventive maintenance |
| **Fuel cost**            | Total and daily average      | Investigate an outlier vehicle  |
