🌟 Strengths (Why the program is successful)

• Laser-Focused Utility: It tracks actual vs. budget kilometers, flags overruns, and keeps photo audits without unnecessary complexity.
• Excel-Style Usability: Drag-and-resize table column borders, wrapping, and headers mimic Excel while saving securely to a database.
• Offline Capability: Caching user roles and region pools ensures pages load instantly, even in poor connectivity areas.
• Accountability: Mobile login PIN security and photo uploads keep supervisors accountable.

⚠️ Vulnerabilities & Long-Term Risks

• Monolithic Codebase: The core logic of the app (app.js) is inside a single 6,000-line file. A single typo anywhere can crash the entire system.
• Client-Side Aggregation: Calculations are done on the browser. While fast now, it will slow down as logs accumulate over 10,000+ entries.
• Open Database Rules: The Firestore database utilizes open rules for quick logins. While easy, it is vulnerable to external script tampering.

• Excel Export: Click the "Export Excel" button at the top header from the Vehicle Registry, Drivers Registry, Daily Operations Logs, or Reports page to instantly download a professionally formatted spreadsheet — branded title band, styled header row, zebra-striped rows, auto-sized columns, a frozen header with filters, and red highlighting on overrun/exceeded/missing values.
• PDF Branding: Every PDF export (Vehicle Registry, Drivers Registry, Daily Operations Logs, Service & Alerts, and Reports) now opens with the same branded Thorburn Security Solutions title band and navy header row as the Excel exports, with zebra-striped rows and color-coded status/overrun badges, for a consistent look across both formats.
• Live Reports Preview: The Operational Reports screen's preview card is always shown in the same white, spreadsheet-styled "paper" look as the finished Excel/PDF export — not just after you export — so what you see on screen while choosing filters is exactly what you'll get in the file.
• Service & Alerts PDF: Click "Export PDF" at the top of the Service & Alerts page to download a signature-ready report covering both the Maintenance Schedule Alerts and the Driver Reported Issues & Vehicle Faults sections.
• PDF Report: Navigate to the Reports page, choose your filter criteria, and click the "Print / Save PDF" button to download a formatted, signature-ready compliance document.
• New Reports: You can now export the new "Missing Daily Logs Report" (which tracks specific missed dates) and the "Underutilized Vehicles Report" directly to Excel as well!
• 5-Day PDF Limit on Daily Operations Logs: To keep printed audit sheets a manageable size, the "Export PDF" button on the Daily Operations Logs page only works if the earliest and latest dates in your current filter are 5 days apart or less — this applies to any date range, past or recent. If it's blocked, narrow the date filter (e.g. a Custom Range spanning 5 days or fewer) and try again. This limit doesn't apply to Excel exports.

• It calculates the total distance the vehicle actually drove during the selected period.
• It calculates what the expected budget distance was for that specific time frame.
• It displays the Last Movement Date, which looks at the vehicle's entire historical database to tell you the exact date it was last driven.
• Vehicles with 0% utilization are highlighted in red, and those below 20% are highlighted in orange.
