In fleet management, an absence is never just administrative.
It can mean an uncovered route.
A delayed delivery.
A dissatisfied client.
The real issue is rarely the absence itself. The problem is discovering it too late or realizing, at the last minute, that several drivers from the same team are off at the same time.
That is exactly what the new smart absence filters in Quatenus MyTeam were designed to prevent.
With this update, managers can filter absences by:
In practical terms, this allows fleet managers to quickly answer questions such as:

Instead of searching through scattered information, everything becomes centralized and structured.
In fleet management, mistakes are expensive.

By filtering absences by role or team, managers gain the ability to anticipate operational gaps.
For example:

Fleet management relies on predictability. Fuel planning, maintenance schedules, route optimization and compliance all depend on reliable workforce availability.
Often, the weakest link is not technology but visibility.
By integrating absence filters into MyTeam, information no longer depends on emails, spreadsheets or informal communication.
Managers gain:
And when decisions are based on data, operational risk decreases significantly.
Efficient management begins with anticipation.
If you manage a fleet and still rely on manual absence tracking, you are exposing your operation to unnecessary risk.
