Why do global fleet customers need to embrace digitisation and what are the hard and soft wins?

Kota Tsuda: "Data compounding (absorbing, processing and analysing data) is about to become extremely complex as new regions, but also new solutions (e.g. mobility) are being added to the Fleet Manager’s span of control. Digitisation of fleet data and fleet operations allows fleet managers to shift from “management by exception” (this car is more expensive than the other) to “compound data management” (assessment of every single data point). It delivers savings, but also contributes to safety and sustainability."

How will AI and ML revolutionise fleet and mobility management and change the role of the fleet and mobility manager?

"Turning a massive amount of data into ready-for-strategy data sets without ending up in data silos requires information to be processed rather than stored. Data needs to be cross-checked against other data, but also assessed against new and unknown events, using predictive analytics. As fleet and mobility management is expanding away from the company car to venture into delivering a comprehensive “move” solution for employees, AI is there to accomplish what spreadsheets are not capable of: unveil potential for improvement and innovation."
