We work in an interesting industry. Every day we read of some evolving application of technology or a new business disruptor. 

Many are now even re-branding our business from fleet to mobility, providing a much broader canvas to consider how we move people or product. What I find inspiring is when I read about something that addresses real-life day to day problems in a new or innovative way. One such story is a project by Volvo and a number of partners to provide robotic assisted waste collection. This project has great potential not only from a productivity perspective but importantly by protecting the health and safety of our workforce.

With the end of year fast approaching, it’s a good time to start planning for the holiday season. What are your particular challenges as the ultimate of project end dates fast approaches? There’s no time like the present to be planning your end of year rush; holiday rosters, executive reports, growth season prep etc.
