Ridecell – Powering digital transformation journeys for fleet-driven businesses globally

In an industry that thrives on pace and momentum, making the most of new technologies to better manage workflows and workloads has never been more important. In this modern world where advancements are used to benefit both customers and businesses alike, multiple tasks can be harnessed and filtered through one true source to blend innovation and efficiency. Fleet automation software has enabled businesses to look further than ever before into how to remain competitive through utilizing fleet management technology. Known as the “watchdog” that observes every notification coming from your fleet, it is viewed not as another solution to manage but a system that offers key information that helps managers automate everyday tasks, providing bigger picture guidance along the way.

While fleet automation is now an essential part of a forward-thinking and modern fleet operation, it’s important to find the best fleet software for your specific goals within your respective industry. The Ridecell fleet automation and mobility solution learns your fleet systems then turns that information into automated workflow triggers. With Ridecell solutions, your company fleet management software makes difficult tasks easy to manage at the touch of a button. The Ridecell platform helps propel the following businesses forward in the race to exceed expectations and deliver a first-class service. Today Ridecell powers some of the most successful fleet businesses in cities across Europe and North America, including Arval, GIG Car Share, powered by AAA NCNU, and KINTO by Toyota Sweden.

Ridecell is headquartered in San Francisco, California with offices in Madrid, Paris, Berlin, and India.

Ridecell Fleet Automation

It is a cloud-based platform for digital transformation that turns fleet management alerts and vehicle data into automated workflows with the power to control vehicle access and engine starts. You’ve invested millions in fleet management systems that generate insights about your fleet. With more systems come more insights that lead to more actions to manage. The Ridecell Fleet Automation and Mobility platform learns your fleet systems and turns manual tasks into automated workflows that resolve issues, rather than merely report them. The Ridecell Fleet Automation and Mobility platform provides the data pipeline and APIs to tie together existing IT, fleet management, and connected vehicle systems—turning your data insights into triggers for workflow automations. Fleet automations unify and amplify the systems you have in place to create powerful workflows that optimize your fleet and your operations.

Program the platform to listen to your internal systems and vehicle status and turn those fleet insights into triggers for workflow automations. As a fleet automation and mobility platform, it has the ability to automatically change the state of any vehicle in your fleet. Vehicle access is automated with digital keys issued over the air. Vehicle use is controlled with remote immobilizations that prevent the vehicle from being restarted. Create custom workflows that automatically detect and diagnose issues, take vehicles in and out of service, and issue digital keys to drivers and staff – all seamlessly handled by the Ridecell Fleet Automation and Mobility platform.

Ridecell + the Environment

Ridecell connects customers, partners and investors to launch and scale sustainable fleets. The overall carbon footprint of an electric vehicle’s lifecycle, which includes manufacturing, all mileage and charging, and decommissioning, is less than half of a comparable internal combustion engine car.

Ridecell's Fleet Automation and Mobility Platform was designed with sustainability in mind, which translates to benefits for the ecosystem of customers and partners while it works to drive greener mobility solutions forward — for everyone. It provides the data pipeline and APIs to tie existing IT, fleet management, and connected vehicle systems. This turns your data insights into triggers for valuable workflow automations. These unify and amplify the systems you already have in place to create powerful workflows that optimize fleet operations. Ridecell fleet automation uses algorithms for intelligent routing, helping to optimize on-the-ground field work. Smarter routing means reducing CO₂ emissions. The company helps fleets solve and improve the most difficult and least sustainable parts of their business. Because it matters.
