Time Spent Metric

When and how to add a time spent metric on Locale

About

This metric calculates the time between two events for your supply. The supply could be vehicles, driver fleet, or delivery personnel. Through this, you can measure the idle time of the driver, time spent in delivering an order, or idle time at the restaurants or warehouses. This can be used to measure the performance or productivity of your fleet and analyze the time they are not spending delivering your order.

For example: What is the idle time of the delivery personnel in Brooklyn from 1 PM to 3 PM?
