What the Project Is
Autofleet presents the first truly sustainable Vehicle as a Service platform – an end‐to‐end software solution designed for optimized, reliable and sustainable transportation services for fleets and mobility operators. Built from optimized routing and scheduling, fleet management solutions, and truly innovative tools like a Fleet Planning Simulator and Fleet Simulation, this platform covers every aspect of fleet operations. It even supports fleet electrification with full TCO analysis, helping operators plan optimal charging infrastructure and gauge both customer and employee experience. The approach is comprehensive, accounting for vehicle constraints, real traffic, and available infrastructure… ensuring that the entire vehicle lifecycle is automated and optimized.
Main Benefit
Key advantages of the Autofleet platform include:
- Increase completed rides, reduce ETAs, and unlock new business models with the same universal fleet
- Reduce fleet downtime while increasing utilization and revenues
- Enjoy complete visibility and control with real-time dashboards and historical reporting
- Design the optimal fleet strategy within minutes through a fully configurable simulator that accurately predicts dozens of operational and financial KPIs
- Remove the guesswork from fleet electrification with a detailed analysis of different EV models and optimal charging planning
Optimized Fleet Operations
Autofleet’s platform extends far beyond just scheduling rides – it automates the entire end-to-end vehicle lifecycle on one unified system. This means operators can manage every detail from real-time alerts and anomaly detection to driver and shift management. The technology leverages advanced machine learning algorithms that consistently maximize fleet performance and enhance customer experience. By minimizing deadhead miles and optimizing driver routing, the platform supports hands-off management while ensuring that every ride counts. It’s like having a super smart system that works tirelessly in the background, allowing operators to focus on scaling operations and improving service reliability… all while keeping things sustainable.
Solutions for Diverse Fleet Verticals
The platform is not one-dimensional; its applicability spans a wide range of fleet types and verticals. Whether it is postal services, delivery and logistics, rental and car sharing, or even emerging sectors like autonomous mobility and micromobility – Autofleet covers them all. In addition, sectors like field service routing, motor pool management, taxi and rideshare, and nonemergency medical transportation (NEMT) & contract rides benefit from a solution that is as versatile as it is robust. This extensive coverage ensures that regardless of the operational field, the same high-power optimization technology can be implemented to achieve significant operational improvements.
Innovative Driver and Passenger Apps
An impressive aspect of the Autofleet platform is the provision of dedicated apps for drivers and passengers. The Driver App offers hands-off management along with real-time routing to drive uptime and reduce unnecessary deadhead miles. On the flip side, the Passenger App stands out not only by offering a great customer experience but also by being open source – a rare feature that permits complete customization while retaining intellectual property ownership. This dual approach to engaging both service providers and end users helps create a balanced ecosystem that sustains operational excellence and offers dynamic user engagement.
Fleet Planning and Simulation Tools
One of the most exciting features of the platform is its Fleet Planning Simulator. This tool allows fleet operators to simulate any fleet and design the optimal strategy within minutes. With capabilities to accurately predict dozens of operational and financial KPIs and account for real-life conditions like traffic and available infrastructure, it provides a clear view of the future. Operators can simulate various scenarios to understand the impact on fleet performance, making it easier to transition to a more efficient, sustainable model. Whether it’s planning for electrification or adjusting to new demand models, the simulation tools offer insights that are not only data-rich but also actionable.
