Fleet operators are being pitched AI solutions from every direction. Most deliver dashboards, not decisions. Monte Fisher — former Shell GRA Manager, Lean Six Sigma Green Belt — applies a forensic lens to fleet AI so you invest in what moves the needle.
Almost every manufacturer, logistics operator, and large service business runs a fleet. The data is massive — telematics, fuel, maintenance, driver behavior, scheduling, vendor payments. And most of it sits in silos that don't talk to each other.
From process optimization work at the Shell Oil level, the pattern is consistent: partial solutions implemented without the underlying data structure don't solve the root problem — they just make it more visible.
AI anomaly detection surfaces fraud, card sharing, and off-route fueling within hours — not the weeks traditional audit takes.
Telematics + service history analysis predicts failures before they happen. 25-35% reduction in unplanned downtime is typical.
Dynamic routing that accounts for traffic, weather, driver behavior, and delivery windows — not static optimization.
IFTA, HOS, emissions reporting automated with audit trails that protect operators in regulatory disputes.
Retired CPA and CFE. Former Shell GRA Manager overseeing North American retail and a $36 billion payment cards business. Lean Six Sigma Green Belt. Now based in Makati providing independent AI advisory — no vendor relationships, no implementation fees, no agenda except getting it right.
