Wheels honored with two AI Excellence Awards, showcasing leadership in applied AI.

Wheels honored with two AI Excellence Awards, showcasing leadership in applied AI. Wheels, a leader in fleet management and mobility, announced that it has received two 2026 AI Excellence Awards from the Business Intelligence Group (BIG). The company was recognized for its Machine Learning (ML) program and for its AI-powered policy intelligence platform in the Product category. These awards highlight Wheels' focus on innovating in ways that create real-time value for clients. By applying Artificial Intelligence (AI) to real operational challenges, Fleet Management Weekly is delivering measurable value for fleet clients through faster decisions, greater accuracy, and more consistent outcomes for clients today, and in the future. AI Excellence Award for Machine Learning Wheels was recognized for its ML program, which leverages more than eight decades of fleet data to optimize core operational processes. AI models support tasks such as validating odometer readings, reviewing repair orders, and identifying potential registration risks, reducing delays for customers while improving data quality. Thoughtfully automating decisions such as simple repair orders, enables its support teams to focus on handling complex and often more expensive transactions where they can save clients time and money. Beyond operational decisions, Wheels is also using AI to better understand the interactions happening every day between vehicle operators and support teams. By operating behind the scenes and continuously learning from real-world fleet behavior, Wheels' ML systems help reduce downtime, streamline operations, and elevate the vehicle operator's experience. AI Excellence Award in the Product Category The company's second award recognized its AI-powered fleet policy intelligence platform, which uses Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) technology. Built on decades of operational knowledge and a deep understanding of how fleet policies are created and applied, this platform turns complex, client-specific policy documents into instant, accurate answers. By grounding every response in approved policy content, the platform eliminates manual searches, improves consistency in responses, reduces delays during service and safety events, and supports faster resolution of inquiries. It delivers trusted guidance at scale and is already transforming internal vehicle operator support operations and is designed to expand into future self-service experiences. Innovation Focused on Client Impact According to Parsh Wanath, Vice President of Digital Engineering and Advanced Analytics at Wheels, the company's approach to AI is intentionally focused on practical impact for fleet clients. "These awards reflect our focus on innovating in ways that create real value and near-term impact for our clients," said Wanath. "At Wheels, AI isn't about technology for its own sake. We're using it to help fleet leaders run more efficient operations, give drivers faster support, and scale the expertise of our teams across every client interaction. Everything we build starts with one goal, which is putting our clients first."

Wheels Wins AutoTech Breakthrough Award for "Fleet Management Innovator of the Year"

Wheels wins AutoTech Breakthrough award for "Fleet Management Innovator of the Year" Wheels, a leader in fleet management and mobility, announced it has been named "Fleet Management Innovator of the Year" in the sixth annual AutoTech Breakthrough Awards program conducted by AutoTech Breakthrough, a leading market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies, technologies and products in the global automotive and transportation technology markets today. The award recognizes Wheels' Pool CheckOut platform, an end-to-end pool management solution that improves utilization and transparency within a fleet by maximizing the use of shared vehicles. This self-service tool allows drivers and administrators to easily reserve and check out vehicles, while providing fleet managers with greater insight into the entire pool of vehicles to ensure idle assets are put to better use. "We're honored to receive this award from AutoTech Breakthrough, which is a powerful reflection of our team's passion for delivering creative mobility solutions." said Shlomo Crandus, CEO of Wheels. "Pool Checkout empowers our customers with an intuitive, self-service technology tool that improves fleet productivity and accessibility. It also provides insight into vehicle usage and scheduling to empower decision-making and operational efficiency. Meeting today's market demands requires more than great products - it calls for data-driven solutions that create experiences customers love." Fleet managers have instant access to booking data through a dashboard that provides visibility into vehicle availability. This allows fleet managers to assign drivers to a more efficient and optimized route. The solution also includes automated scheduling of any shared company asset to streamline and simplify the scheduling process. And it has checklist inspections that require drivers to capture damage at every checkout and return of a vehicle. Pool CheckOut also optimizes vehicle distribution by positioning vehicles where they're needed most, based on usage patterns. Its kiosk option securely stores the physical keys in a self-serve key box, while optional keyless access features, available for clients utilizing connected vehicles, allow drivers to lock and unlock their vehicles directly from the app. Through seamless integration with Wheels' FleetView(R) platform and the Wheels Mobile Assistant app, clients gain valuable insights into vehicle usage, and benefit from improved driver accountability and overall operational efficiency. The AutoTech sector is rapidly redefining the way people and goods move - transforming one of the world's largest and most vital industries. From autonomous driving technologies and advanced driver-assistance systems to connected vehicle platforms, electrification, and sustainable mobility solutions, AutoTech is delivering greater safety, efficiency, and environmental responsibility. The mission of the annual AutoTech Breakthrough Awards program is to conduct the industry's most comprehensive analysis and evaluation of automotive and transportation technology categories, including Autonomous Driving, Artificial Intelligence, Electric Vehicles, Engine Tech, Automotive Cybersecurity, Telematics, Sensor Technology, Fleet Management, Traffic Tech and many more. This year's program attracted thousands of nominations from over 15 different countries throughout the world. "Wheels has developed a modern, efficient solution to minimize downtime and protect fleet operations. As multi-modality becomes more common, organizations are prioritizing fleet flexibility, resource optimization, and cost reductions. However, disparate systems and tools make managing shared mobility programs increasingly complex, especially when coordinating hundreds of vehicles and drivers," said Bryan Vaughn, Managing Director, AutoTech Breakthrough. "The future of shared mobility lies in technology, and Wheels' Pool CheckOut is a comprehensive solution that proves essential for navigating operational challenges and unlocking the full potential of shared transportation networks. We're pleased to recognize Wheels with the 2025 award for 'Fleet Management Innovator of the Year!'"
