From Overwhelmed to Optimised: How the ZeroMission Team Helped a Mixed Fleet Customer Make Sense of Their Data
By Cian Kavanagh
At ZeroMission, we often say that modern fleets are evolving faster than the systems built to manage them. Between electric, diesel, hybrid, and even hydrogen or HVO vehicles, fleet managers are juggling more variables than ever. Add in multiple depots, inconsistent data sources, rising compliance pressures, and new ESG expectations, and it’s no surprise that many operators are struggling to stay on top of it all.
That’s exactly the situation one of our recent customers found themselves in a large mixed-fuel fleet operating across several locations, generating data from every corner of their operations… and still feeling completely in the dark.
The customer explained to me their pain points clearly:
“We’re drowning in data. It’s coming in from all our systems, charging software, fuel cards, telematics, depot meters, maintenance logs but it’s not helping us make better decisions. We don’t know what’s working or what’s costing us.”
They had no unified view of their vehicles, couldn’t benchmark performance across depots, and were constantly reacting instead of planning ahead. They had information, but no insight.
That’s where ZeroMission came in.
My team and I took them through how our smart transport operations intelligence platform is built to solve this exact problem.
With ZeroMission, fleet managers no longer need to jump between spreadsheets, software systems, and siloed reports. Our platform brings all critical data from ICE and EV vehicles to fuel and energy use, from charging patterns to route optimisation, into one easy-to-use dashboard.
It’s like stepping into the control tower of your fleet.
At a glance, this customer could now:
See a bird’s-eye view of all their depots and the vehicles at each one.
Monitor fuel type usage and costs across their diesel, EV, and hybrid assets.
Identify underperforming vehicles and underutilised assets.
Track charging behaviours, energy prices, and depot performance in real-time.
Automatically generate reports to guide investment and compliance decisions.
And most importantly, they could finally answer the question they’d been asking for months: “What’s actually working here, and what’s not?”
Within weeks, they began uncovering savings, streamlining operations, and reducing downtime.
This wasn’t just about software. It was about unlocking clarity. And as I often say, “When you give people the right view of their fleet, they stop reacting and start leading.”
That’s the real power of ZeroMission. We’re not just a fleet platform; we’re a partner in helping you run smarter, leaner, and more sustainable operations. From onboarding to optimisation, our team becomes an extension of yours, ensuring your entire staff, from drivers to depot managers, knows how to use the system and get the most from it.
Because technology alone doesn’t change fleets. Empowered people do.
Dealing with a mixed fleet? We get it.

Let’s make your fleet work smarter, no matter what powers it.
