Roadz: Simplifying Commercial Fleet Data

Now, more than ever, individuals and businesses have access to enormous amounts of data. Businesses with commercial fleets have data from their vehicles which can be helpful in diagnosing vehicle concerns, managing drivers, and optimizing routes. However, the sheer quantity of information available can be cumbersome to filter through and can become a nuisance rather than a blessing. 

Too much data, can’t compute!
So, what data should commercial fleets being focusing on? Shiva Bhardwaj, CEO of Pitstop, a predictive maintenance solution provider, states in his article, “A fleet must increase its focus on predictive maintenance and be able to create data visualizations that tell a clear story of effectiveness and efficiency.”

Take the easier Roadz

To do that, one must make a unified, integrated interface where the data can exist and be efficiently accessed. Roadz is an organization that aims to simplify the exchange of connected-fleet data while creating new business opportunities for all stakeholders in the smart fleet ecosystem. Roadz has put together the Roadz Marketplace, a pre-integrated, 3rd-party fleet solution which is a one-stop-shop ecosystem so that users can get a “more holistic and connected view of their fleets” and leverage the data for real-world applications. The Roadz Marketplace is a data-enabled fleet services marketplace platform that makes it easy for “fleet managers find, buy and use the right solutions, and easily integrate fleet data required by those solutions.” Roadz has partnerships with Paychex, Shell Fleet Solutions, and 30 other organizations.

Roadz originated in Palo Alto but will be relocating to Santa Cruz. Jake Haselden / Director of Product at Roadz will present at Santa Cruz Works’ upcoming New Tech event on Wednesday, November 2, 2022. Get your tickets now!
