Electric vehicle fuel card business Paua has partnered with Optimize, formerly The Algorithm People, to launch a new fleet optimisation solution that will drive the switch to zero-carbon transport.

The new solution enables optimisation of routes, schedules and the charging network across the whole fleet

The new service spans optimisation of routes, schedules and the charging network across the whole fleet to maximise performance and efficiency, while also giving confidence around battery range.

The solution draws on the unique strengths of both businesses, bringing in multiple data points to enable the transition to electric vehicles.

Paua has developed a simple-to-use EV charge card, backed by a mobile app with live data and a single bill, giving fleets a management dashboard to monitor performance across the fleets and access to over 22,000 charge points across the UK.

“This partnership is a demonstration of how we are evolving our offer to meet current and future customer demand,” said Paua CEO, Niall Riddell. “Increasingly customers are looking for integrated solutions bringing together their EV duty cycles with visibility of the charging infrastructure across the whole of the fleet. Optimize are ahead of the game in this respect and we are already in discussions with a number of key customers to unlock the potential the service offers.”

Optimize uses powerful algorithms that work across customer requirements to route and schedule fleets for maximum efficiency. Not only do the applications allow businesses to reduce current carbon emissions by optimising fleet productivity, but they also support the transition to net zero by intelligently predicting battery capability and available range to ensure full deployment of the EV vehicle fleet in the most efficient way.

“Working with Paua has enabled us to take a holistic approach to EV optimisation and charging points,” stated Optimize CEO Colin Ferguson. “This will bring significant benefits for customers giving them confidence the vehicles are being used in the most efficiency way, while giving the fleet owners and drivers the peace of mind regarding range and battery performance.”
