Stephane Lagresle Season 1 Episode 11

🚀 THE FLEET SOFTWARE DECODED

In this episode of "Under the Hood: Automotive Storytelling" from The Storytelling Tribe, we connect with Lina Wölm, Director of Brand Communications and Product Marketing at Shiftmove and accomplished expert in strategic communications, to explore how fleet management is transforming from manual operations to AI-driven mastery.

🎯 KEY INSIGHTS

Traditional vs. Tech-First: The Fleet Management Divide

Lina reveals how the fleet industry is a patchwork of very different companies, some using high technology and others still using Excel, and how software-first companies navigate this cultural transformation.

The Consulting-Technology Hybrid Strategy

Discover how Shiftmove combines AI-powered platforms with human expertise to unlock hidden business KPIs that fleet managers never knew existed.

The Cultural Integration Formula

Learn how successful tech companies merge distinct corporate cultures (Swiss precision, German engineering, French networking) under unified brand umbrellas while respecting market-specific needs.

💡 PRACTICAL TAKEAWAYS

  • Educate Before You Sell: Help customers identify problems they don't know they have rather than just showcasing technical features
  • Leverage Physical Interaction: Bring distributed teams together regularly – the "chitchat between breaks" builds stronger cross-functional relationships
  • Create Umbrella Branding: Use unified brand messaging while maintaining product-specific approaches for different market regulations
  • Focus on Business Impact: Show fleet managers how their operations can drive company-wide KPIs and cost savings, not just operational efficiency
