Problem
What We Were Solving For
After years of tremendous growth and a mandate to grow grow grow, Sunrun shifted focus to reign in spending. As a business with seasonal spikes, it was difficult to know the number of assets that they would need and so ended up with an over abundance of vehicles. Fleet management within Sunrun was tasked with cutting expenses but lacked the tools and expertise to reduce OPEX without impacting their ability to meet market opportunities and customer needs.
