Like air traffic control for your fleet, new technology manages vehicles and workers, and locates ready EV chargers for optimal quick-turn fleet readiness
Fleet operators demand and need more. A new software solution is available for quick-turn electric fleets expressly driving operational readiness, as well as lowering total cost of ownership, easing the transition to electric mobility.
NovaCHARGE Fleet Director™ has three unique core functions: vehicle management, charging station locater, and worker management. When addressed in combination, it solves the problems of getting the right vehicle on the right charger at the right time, predicting necessary manpower and efficiently dispatching drivers to move vehicles as needed, and reducing capital costs by leveraging existing offsite charging such as EV charging hubs. Directing efficient utilization of resources for fleet managers helps to exceed desired quick-turn metrics and lower cost of ownership. It can be implemented as a standalone solution or in concert with our full suite of EV charging solutions, including our ChargeUP charging platform management system.
“Our direct work with key fleet customers has given us insights into the needs and challenges impacting operational readiness for quick-turn EV fleets,” said Oscar Rodriguez, Chairman and CEO. “We’ve realized that EV fleet solutions need to change to solve real-world operational issues. We’ve developed the Fleet Director SaaS solution to enable quick-turn fleet customers enhance the ROI of EV fleets, by optimizing the combination of three key value points - EV charging, vehicle SOC, and the labor needed to manage logistics.”
NovaCHARGE’s fleet software platform is designed to work with a broad array of charging stations, including non-OCPP compliant and Tesla chargers, and any electric vehicle. Fleet Director is aware of all locations, chargers, vehicles, and workers that have been registered within the system, and uses that information to assign jobs and tasks to nearby available workers with a goal of ensuring optimal labor workflow to get all under-charged vehicles to an optimally charged state. Fleet Director also provides flexible configuration settings, mobile app capability, dashboard reporting, and 24/7/365 “eyes on network” coverage, alerting and driver support.
Through open API’s, NovaCHARGE’s fleet management suite can fully integrate with the tools fleet operators already use to run their operations such as 3rd party telematics, route planning, dispatch, and maintenance systems.
