Organizations are generating more data than ever, from safety scores and spend data to fuel consumption and driver performance. Turning that data into actionable insight that harnesses business opportunities remains a major challenge. Many teams rely on disconnected, static tools that make it slow and difficult to get a complete, real-time view of operational performance.

“Teams running physical operations need fast, actionable insights to stay safe, productive, and profitable, but static reports and hard-to-reach data across disconnected tools make that nearly impossible,” said Hemant Banavar, Chief Product Officer at Motive. “AI Answers delivers real-time insights instantly so teams don’t have to dig through cumbersome custom reports. Now data is no longer a bottleneck, it drives smarter decisions and business growth.”

By using AI Answers directly within Motive Analytics, organizations can gain real-time insights without relying on BI or data analysts. Simply by asking questions in their own words such as, “Which drivers had the most idling time last week?” or “What was our average vehicle downtime last month?”, teams can receive easy-to-understand answers and visualizations.
