About InSight
InSight is an intelligent, cloud-based portal that consolidates trailer inventory, reduces cargo theft, and tracks fleet performance using real-time data and smart sensors.
How InSight Works
The InSight portal is flexible and customizable, serving a wide range of fleet customers. Private fleets with their own distribution networks rely on InSight to control inventory, asset availability, and visibility across all locations.
SkyBitz consolidates everything into one unified, web-based portal giving you real-time location data and remote monitoring. You can immediately see where every asset is across yards, stores, and loading docks to improve utilization, reduce idle time, increase turns, cut empty miles, and lower capital spend.
SkyCamera & Smart Sensors
SkyCamera sensors go beyond traditional binary detection, providing dispatchers with images of cargo (nearly full, partial, empty, etc.), eliminating false positives and negatives.
Impact:
- Drivers stop going to the wrong trailers
- Planners work faster because they know exactly which assets are actually available
- Automated, Accurate Arrival & Load Data becomes a major cash flow driver
Key Benefits
As a commitment to continuously advancing technology, InSight not only upgrades infrastructure but also enhances functionality and experience. The portal is centralized under one unified device management system, with specific tabs useful for different personas involved in day-to-day fleet operations.
Operations Dashboard
The Operations Dashboard provides a real-time view of fleet activity through interactive widgets, a live map, and a filterable asset table. It is your command center for day-to-day fleet visibility.
Operations Dashboard with Yard Check, Idle Assets, and Moving Assets widgets alongside the interactive map
Dashboard Overview
The dashboard features three key widget areas: Yard Check, Idle Assets, and Moving Assets. Each widget provides aggregated data for authorized landmarks (aka yards) with filter and drill-down capabilities.
The map view shows asset locations in real-time, and the asset grid displays all assets with various filters applied. Assets can be sorted by status, cargo type, idle time range, and more.
By default, the grid is sorted by the most recently reported assets and columns can be navigated via the top navigation bar.
Yard Check
The Yard Check widget gives you instant visibility into empty assets sitting in your yards, helping you optimize asset utilization and reduce idle inventory.
What Yard Check Shows
The Yard Check widget displays the total number of empty assets and which yards they are located in. It also provides the empty percentage for each yard, helping you quickly identify locations with the most underutilized assets.
- Empty Assets count reported by cargo and volumetric sensors
- Top Most Empty Assets in Yards ranked by empty percentage
- Yard-by-yard breakdown with asset count and empty count
Click on any yard row to filter the map and asset table to show only assets at that location.
Idle Assets
Monitor assets that haven't moved within a defined time period. Identify underutilized trailers to improve fleet turnover and reduce capital waste.
Idle Assets Widget
The Idle Assets widget breaks down your idle fleet into three categories: Idle Empty, Idle Loaded, and Idle with Other Cargo Statuses. The donut chart gives you a quick visual summary of total idle assets.
Use the filter icon to set custom idle time thresholds and narrow the view to the assets that matter most to your operations. Click into any category to see the full asset list filtered by that status.
Idle Assets List View
Clicking into the Idle Assets widget reveals the full list of idle assets with detailed information including Last Location, Asset ID, Device Serial Number, Idle Time, Duration, Arrived timestamp, Last Reported time, Asset Type, and Status.
The list can be filtered and sorted to help you prioritize which idle assets need attention first, whether that's repositioning, maintenance, or reassignment.
Moving Assets
Track assets currently in transit to understand fleet activity, cargo loads, and movement patterns in real time.
Moving Assets Widget
The Moving Assets widget categorizes in-transit assets by Moving Empty, Moving Loaded, and Moving with Other Cargo Statuses. The donut chart provides a quick view of how many assets are currently on the road.
This widget helps dispatchers and operations managers understand fleet utilization in real time and identify opportunities to improve load efficiency.
Moving Assets List View
Drill into the Moving Assets widget to see the complete list of in-transit assets. The table includes Last Location, Asset ID, Device Serial Number, Start Time, Duration, destination details, Last Reported time, Asset Type, and Status.
Use this view to verify delivery routes, monitor transit times, and ensure your fleet is operating efficiently across all active shipments.
Asset List
The Asset List provides a comprehensive grid view of all assets in your fleet with powerful filtering, sorting, and quick-action tools.

The global search bar at the top of the portal lets you search by Asset ID, Device Serial Number, or other identifiers. Results appear instantly as you type, showing matching assets and devices with their type and serial information.
Click on any search result to navigate directly to that asset's 360-degree overview page, giving you immediate access to location, sensor data, and device information.
Asset Overview
The Asset Overview is your 360-degree view of any individual asset, showing location, sensor status, cargo imagery, and device details all in one place.
Asset Overview Tab
The Asset Overview tab shows the complete picture of a single asset: its current location on a map, sensor status (power source, door, motion, tire system), cargo classification, and SkyCamera imagery when available.
- Location with map pin and GPS coordinates
- Sensors Status including power, door, motion, and tire pressure
- Cargo – SkyCamera with timestamped images
- Cargo – Acoustic sensor data for volumetric readings
Devices
View all devices attached to an asset including base devices, cargo sensors, door sensors, motion sensors, tamper sensors, and volumetric sensors.
Devices Tab
The Devices tab within an asset's profile shows every device associated with that asset. For each device, you can see the Device Model, Serial Number, Device Model name, Installed date, Last Reported timestamp, and Last Status.
This view is essential for keeping track of device health and identifying issues quickly. If a sensor stops reporting or shows an unexpected status, the Devices tab is the first place to investigate.
Maintenance Dashboard
The Maintenance Dashboard is your centralized view for monitoring device health, inventory status, and fleet-wide device analytics to plan proactively and reduce downtime.
