Webfleet, Bridgestone’s globally trusted fleet management solution, is today debuting its new AI Assistant at IAA Transportation 2024. Leveraging GenAI technology, the tool is simplifying fleet management by allowing fleet managers to interact with their fleet data intuitively and easily.

“We are happy to show the first demo of the Webfleet AI Assistant at IAA TRANSPORTATION 2024 today, which will be a game changer for fleet management”, says Raghunath Banerjee, Vice President of Data Solutions at Bridgestone Mobility Solutions. “As fleet vehicles and assets are creating more and more connected data, our job is to provide actionable insights to fleet decision makers in an easy and fast way. Our new AI Assistant is doing that with the simplicity of an intuitive AI: By directly interacting with their data and asking questions, fleet customers can take data-driven actions faster and with more clarity to improve their operations’’.

The Webfleet AI Assistant is introduced as a beta project in collaborating with customers to further develop the solution. The beta project will first focus on the Webfleet OptiDrive solution to provide Webfleet customers with feedback based on precise answers to driving behaviour challenges.

The AI tool delivers real-time and historical data about key fleet performance indicators, including fuel and energy consumption, and driving events such as idling, speeding and harsh braking. Fleet managers can type prompts asking for example ‘Give me the statistics for all driving time and total mileage for my drivers, aggregated for the last five months,’ or ‘What is the fuel consumption trend over the last three months?’ and get precise overviews in seconds. They can also access pre-defined prompts and suggested follow-up questions.

With data security as highest priority, the Webfleet fleet management software is ISO 27001 certified which means it fulfils the highest industry standard for data security, quality and availability. Data from the Webfleet AI Assistant on OptiDrive is kept within the Webfleet environment protecting sensitive fleet data.

The Webfleet AI Assistant is available for testing for selected Webfleet customers. Attendees of IAA TRANSPORTATION are able to see the first demo of the AI Assistant at the Bridgestone Fleet Care booth in Hall 12, #C54.
