Karmo has officially been named the winner of the AI-Powered Operations Award at the 2026 Optimizers Awards!
The Optimizers Awards presented by Autofleet, a leading fleet management optimisation platform, spotlight the fleet and mobility operators who are turning operational complexity into measurable business impact. We are incredibly proud to bring the hard work of our fleet teams onto the main stage and celebrate this fantastic industry-wide recognition.
How We Did It: Powering Massive Growth With AI
By leveraging cutting-edge AI, we are now able to track complex market trends in real time, supporting critical vehicle lifecycle decisions that maximize efficiency. Furthermore, this technology allows us to be incredibly proactive about customer needs, predicting and addressing issues before they ever impact the user experience.
The results of this operational discipline speak for themselves. Through the strategic implementation of AI-driven insights, we have successfully managed to more than double our total fleet size. Even more impressively, despite this massive, rapid scale-up, we actually increased our overall fleet utilisation rate from 89% to a staggering 91%.
Looking Ahead
This award is a massive testament to the hard work, creativity, and operational discipline of the entire Karmo team. It proves that by fully embracing innovation, we can deliver measurable impact not just in cost and scalability, but most importantly, in the overall customer experience. We are setting new benchmarks for the future of fleet operations, and we are just getting started.
“AI is not being treated as a buzzword. It is being used where operational decisions are hard: procurement, forecasting, market analysis, and eventually more automation.”
– Laura Harewood, Chief Revenue Officer, Karmo
We want to extend a massive thank you to Autofleet for this incredible honor, and to our dedicated team and loyal customers who make this continuous growth possible every single day.
