🎯 Low Hanging Fruit — Biggest Drivers of Excess Travel Cost

Ranked by total avoidable cost across five dimensions. Focus on the top items in each category for the highest ROI improvements.

By Vertical

Which service verticals generate the most excess travel? Clinical Education stands out with very high per-WO excess.

#	Vertical	WOs	Avoidable Cost	Impact	Avg Excess	Outliers	Flew	Actual Expense	Techs
1	Healthcare Provider	114	$4,340	100%	56.8 mi	52	—	$37,675	4

By State

States with the highest total avoidable travel cost.

#	State	WOs	Avoidable Cost	Impact	Avg Excess	Flew
1	MI	114	$4,340		56.8 mi	—

By City

Top cities by total avoidable cost. These are your biggest geographic hotspots.

By Coordinator

Coordinators whose dispatching decisions result in the most excess travel. High avg excess suggests systematic over-dispatching; high WO count with moderate excess suggests volume-driven impact.

#	Coordinator	WOs	Avoidable Cost	Impact	Avg Excess	Outliers	Flew	Actual Expense	Techs Used
1	Charles Ramen	104	$4,115		59.1 mi	49	—	$33,620	4

By Technician — Repeat Offenders

Techs who consistently travel far beyond the closest available option. High states-served count may indicate a roaming/national tech; high avg excess with few states suggests a misplaced home base.
