Fleet teams are about to experience a significant paradigm shift with the introduction of Webfleet’s new AI-powered solution, Fleet Advisor. This innovative tool combines generative AI with real-time fleet insights to empower fleet teams to make data-driven decisions that improve safety, efficiency, and cost control.
What is Fleet Advisor?
Fleet Advisor is designed to simplify how fleet teams access and act on vital operational data. By harnessing the power of generative AI, users can type a query in natural language – such as mileage trends, idling times, or fuel consumption – and receive clear, visual answers with context, suggestions, and next-step recommendations.
- It enables users to quickly identify risks and make data-driven decisions that improve safety, efficiency, and cost control.
- It makes it easier for any member of the fleet team, regardless of technical experience, to manage complex processes.
- It provides deeper insights into behaviour such as harsh braking, speeding, and fuel consumption in seconds.
Fleet Advisor is built on a foundation of robust data protection, ensuring data privacy and responsible AI use. It is certified to ISO/IEC 27001:2017, Europe’s most recognized information security standard, and complies with both GDPR and the AI Act.
Benefits of Fleet Advisor
The benefits of Fleet Advisor are numerous:
- Improved safety: Fleet Advisor provides real-time insights into fleet operations, enabling users to identify potential safety risks and take corrective action.
- Increased efficiency: By providing deeper insights into fleet operations, Fleet Advisor helps users optimize routes, reduce idling times, and streamline processes.
- Cost control: Fleet Advisor enables users to make data-driven decisions that reduce fuel consumption, lower emissions, and minimize costs.
- Enhanced decision-making: Fleet Advisor provides users with clear, visual answers with context, suggestions, and next-step recommendations, empowering them to make informed decisions.
Fleet Advisor is integrated with Webfleet’s OptiDrive 360 driver coaching solution, providing a comprehensive suite of tools to help fleet operators improve safety, reduce costs, and cut emissions.
Key Partnerships and Rollout
Fleet Advisor is initially available in the UK and Ireland, with international rollout planned for later in 2025. Webfleet is set to make AI-powered decision-making accessible to fleet operations across the globe, helping businesses of all sizes unlock smarter, faster, and more sustainable ways of working.
