What is a Fleet OS?



If you have ever used a smartphone then you would have heard of operating systems like Apple iOS or Google Android. Such systems are an operational layer between the hardware (smartphone) and the user. They help power a multitude of products and services like Netflix and Airbnb. So what does that have to do with mobility? Well, on-demand mobility products like Car2Go or CarBar are the equivalent of Netflix and Airbnb for transportation. For such products to run at peak scalability and efficiency they also need a Mobility Operating System behind the scenes, a back office machine, an operational layer between the hardware (vehicle) and the user facing product.

OviDrive is a Mobility Operating System that handles all those back office tasks like supplier management, cost control, live vehicle data, full suite of fleet operations, automated maintenance control, aspects that influence uptime, utilisation, availability, safety and profits. Their Mobility Operating System allows the mobility provider the freedom to do what they do best: provide an excellent level of service and scale freely.

Fleet Maturity Test

The fleet maturity survey allows you to objectively measure the maturity of your fleet in 6 categories:

​

  • Car Policy,

  • Risk Management,

  • Sourcing & Supplier Management,

  • Contracts & Agreements,

  • Mobility and Powertrains,

  • Data & Cost.

 

After replying to 30 multiple-choice questions, the tool calculates a ‘maturity score’ and positions your score against a ‘target maturity level’ based on your fleet size.

​

Try using the tool based on specific global regions for your fleet to allow you to measure the results of your efforts in each country or region.
