Zerity capacity planning dashboard showing demand forecasting, fleet utilisation metrics, and optimisation recommendations

Capacity planning shouldn't be a crystal ball exercise

Too many vehicles costs money. Too few loses customers. Get it just right with data-driven planning.

Gut-Feel Planning

Making fleet decisions based on instinct leads to over or under-capacity—both expensive mistakes

Seasonal Blind Spots
