Last week, we had the incredible opportunity to bring together a powerhouse group of fleet leaders at the Wheels Results+ Fleet Performance Summit. Celebrating its 13th year, this annual tradition has grown into one of the largest corporate fleet forums in the industry. And every year, I walk away reminded of why this event matters so much.
The Summit is more than an industry event; it’s a celebration of progress and partnership. It’s where we share ideas, explore solutions, and honor organizations that have achieved outstanding results in key fleet performance categories: Cost Optimization, Operational Efficiency, Risk Mitigation, Environmental and Social Responsibility, Driver Satisfaction, Compliance, and Revenue Generation. These achievements reflect the ingenuity and strategic thinking of our clients and the strength of our partnerships.
Here are some of my favorite moments:
Facilitating Honest Conversations. Our industry roundtables give attendees the chance to dive into specific challenges and share best practices. These sessions are a client favorite because they spark honest dialogue about what’s working, what’s not, and where we can go next.
Showcasing Successes. Throughout the day, we recognized client success with multiple award presentations and shared inspiring stories during panel discussions on topics like reimagining fleet structures, driving transformation, reclaiming time and efficiency, leveraging analytics, and building safety into organizational culture. Every panel reminded me how much progress is possible when we share ideas and learn from each other.
Understanding Innovation is a Mindset. During “The Road Ahead: CEO Insights on the Future of Fleet,” our CEO Shlomo Crandus, Kristi Webb, industry veteran and Wheels board member, and Tim Albertson, recently retired CEO of Ayvens, shared their experiences of transformation and their thoughts on the most impactful trends. Listening to these perspectives reinforces how critical adaptability is for success.
Finding Inspiration Outside of Fleet. Our keynote speaker delivered an unforgettable and immersive experience with a message that really resonated with me – sometimes the biggest breakthroughs come when we stop fighting limitations and start using them as fuel for creativity.
Anticipating What’s Next. During the Innovation Tracks, our development teams showcased the latest technology and product advancements. It’s exciting to see how far we’ve come and even more exciting to think about what’s next. From Pool CheckOut and Reimbursement to Connected Vehicle and Global Solutions, these sessions gave attendees a hands-on look at the future of fleet management.
As I reflect on this year’s Summit, I feel energized and inspired by the conversations, the ideas, and the incredible accomplishments. This event is a reminder that we’re not just managing fleets; we’re shaping the future of fleet management and mobility together.
Thank you to everyone who joined us this year. Your trust and collaboration inspire us every day. Here’s to embracing new opportunities and achieving even greater success in 2026.
