Powering Fleets with Data Intelligence: Vinli and ALD join Connected Fleets Conference

Mark Haidar, CEO of Vinli and Derek Barker, Global Strategic Projects CIO at ALD Automotive will enrich the Connected Fleets Conference in Brussels on May 15 & 16 with a presentation on how data intelligence can power your fleet.

“Connectivity leads to the need for data management. Electrification, mobility and autonomous tech development will accelerate the amount of data produced. All the data generated from a connected fleet can be overwhelming and perceived as a threat”, says Steven Schoefs, chief editor of Fleet Europe and moderator at the Connected Fleets Conference.

“However, when mined, analysed and leveraged in the right way it can be turned into fleet management efficiencies. During a keynote presentation, Vinli and ALD will share in Brussels on May 16 how intelligent data management can be used to support the deployment of winning corporate fleet and mobility strategies on an international scale.”

The topics of the Powering Fleets with Data Intelligence presentation:

  • Market trends: ownership, electrification, connectivity and autonomous cars.
  • The role of technology and data in driving the change
  • Global Platform for Local Success
    • Fostering an Internal Developer Community
    • Driver Frameworks
    • Fleet Portal Frameworks
    • Data Intelligence and Predictive Services
  • Automating Intelligence & Insights
