Zurich Resilience Solutions UK, a division of the award-winning global insurer Zurich, is enhancing its fleet offering through a partnership with Optimize, the leading fleet and freight optimisation and data specialists. Zurich Resilience Solutions supports organisations to help understand and manage their risks, specifically targeting the tangible improvements that can be made by fleet operators to safety and sustainability. They do this by combining their wide-ranging in-depth expertise, data and insight.
Zurich Resilience Solutions recognises that a partnership with Optimize will increase the depth of the support they can offer to organisations as fleets adapt and respond to the challenges they face today and tomorrow
Optimize has a suite of products and services aimed at managing risk, compliance and safety for fleet operators including electric vehicle optimisation solutions, daily vehicle roadworthiness checks – via their mobile app – and a “least risk routing” optimisation service This data-led approach to route optimisation ensures the drivers and vehicles are routed to avoid known accident hotspots, placing the safety and well-being of the driver and other road users as the key priority This same optimisation data informs and supports transition decisions towards electric vehicle fleets. Optimize’s AI-led algorithms quantitatively assess how a mixed or fully transitioned fleet can maximise the output of your commercial fleet overall when considering a range of constraints.
“We have been seeking a partner to offer electric vehicle consultancy and business optimisation support to customers,” says Helen Aston Head of Workforce Strategies at Zurich Resilience Solutions UK “The services Optimize bring to the sector are a great fit: assisting customers with their transition to low carbon fuels; mitigating risk through route planning, improving business efficiency; and reducing the demands on drivers.”
“Zurich is clearly a massive name in insurance services,” says Natalie Hughes, Director of Partners & Corporate Accounts at Optimize, “…and we are delighted to have the opportunity to work with the team there Not only do our services offer tangible business and risk mitigation benefits, but our services can play an important part in improved driver well-being through safe route planning ”
Optimize has recently re-branded from ‘The Algorithm People’ and is launching a new, more powerful algorithm this year, which will have the capacity to deal with more complex transport optimisation tasks, delivering improved efficiencies faster. The business continues to grow its customer base and partners, and has recently added to the talent in the organisation to continue to fuel the company expansion
