Fleet technology has traditionally been something you buy — telematics platforms, camera systems, and vendor solutions designed to solve specific problems. But a new shift is underway: fleet managers are starting to build their own tools.

In this session, hear how fleets are using AI to create simple, practical solutions tailored to their operations — from automating reporting and generating driver communications to building lightweight apps and workflows. We’ll also introduce the concept of “vibe coding” — a fast, intuitive way to create tools using AI, even without a technical background. It may sound complex, but in practice it’s often simpler and more accessible than you think.

SPEAKERS:

Kristin Leary, Syneos Healthcare

Ernie Garcia, Gothic Landscape

Fleet operators are under constant pressure to reduce costs, improve efficiency, and justify every operational decision — but how do you know whether your fleet is truly outperforming the market or quietly falling behind? This Holman-led session takes a data-driven look at the operational benchmarks, industry trends, and performance metrics shaping today’s leading fleets. Drawing on benchmarking data and real-world insights across multiple fleet segments, the discussion will explore how best-in-class fleets are managing vehicle lifecycle, maintenance costs, acquisition strategies, utilization, and overall operating performance in a rapidly evolving market.

SPEAKERS:

Ed Powell, Holman

You may not recognize all the names on this panel, but you'll recognize the challenges they're tackling. A new generation of fleet leaders is approaching the job differently, questioning long-held assumptions and finding smarter, faster ways to solve problems. From adopting new technologies and using data more effectively to leading change within their organizations, these emerging voices are helping redefine how fleet operates.

Hear practical examples and candid lessons from fleet professionals who are building their own playbook rather than following the traditional one. You'll leave with fresh ideas for improving operations, engaging stakeholders, and navigating change — along with a better understanding of where the next generation of fleet leadership is taking the industry.
