Background

Revolv is a U.S.-based company founded in 2019 that focuses on helping fleets transition to zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs). Headquartered in San Francisco, the company offers comprehensive fleet electrification solutions, handling everything from vehicle procurement to charging infrastructure installation and maintenance.

Revolv distinguishes itself by providing a fully integrated, technology-agnostic service that covers all aspects of fleet management, ensuring that companies can decarbonize without compromising operational efficiency.

We spoke with Brooke Benkert, Director of Fleet Operations at Revolv, to understand the impact FleetWave has had on their operations. “We are a turnkey end-to-end solution for electric vehicles. We purchase, upfit, lease vehicles to our customers and then we help maintain them throughout the lifecycle. We are currently only electric vehicles and we’re approaching 50 live vehicles today.”

Challenges

Before implementing FleetWave, Revolv faced significant challenges in managing its fleet operations. Brooke Benkert states: “Before we had FleetWave, we had spreadsheets. We had no automation, no idea what condition our vehicles were in, or where we were in the lifecycle.” This lack of visibility and automation made it difficult to track vehicle performance and maintenance needs, resulting in inefficiencies and potential issues going unnoticed. The reliance on spreadsheets limited their ability to analyze data effectively and respond promptly to operational challenges.

Our Solution

Revolv chose FleetWave as the solution to address their growing need for organization, automation, and enhanced fleet management capabilities. Prior to adopting FleetWave, Revolv was relying on spreadsheets, which made it difficult to track fleet performance and lifecycle status. Recognizing the need for a more efficient and scalable system, Revolv turned to FleetWave to provide a centralized platform for tracking vehicles, services, and work orders in real time.

Impact

The implementation of FleetWave has significantly transformed Revolv’s operations, bringing a new level of organization and automation. Brooke remarked, “It brought a lot of organization and automation just in tracking overall fleet location; it’s a night-and-day difference.”

Despite being a small startup, “We only have 26 employees. Every single one of them has a login. They can go in and find anything they need to know about any vehicle, any service, work order, status. It’s fantastic.” Brooke Remarked. She highlighted that the most utilized features include scheduled maintenance and automated notifications, “I would say scheduled maintenance and automated notifications is what we get the most use out of. It’s a massive time saver. I don’t spend my time answering questions. I direct people to the system and they can find anything they want to know.”

Brooke’s passion for FleetWave is evident; she has been using the system extensively and knows it inside out. She also appreciates the reliable support that comes with the platform: “I’ve never reached out and not received an answer. If they don’t know the answer, they chase it down and get back to me.”

Conclusion

The adoption of FleetWave has revolutionized Revolv’s fleet management, transforming their operations from manual, spreadsheet-based tracking to a fully automated, efficient system. Key features like scheduled maintenance and automated notifications have saved time and improved overall visibility, enabling employees to access critical data seamlessly.

As Brooke noted, the impact has been a “night-and-day difference” in streamlining processes and supporting their mission to lead the transition to electric vehicles. FleetWave’s customization and reliable support have been vital in helping Revolv scale while maintaining operational excellence.
