VivaDrive

Founded in 2019, VivaDrive specialises in tailored solutions for managing and automating company vehicle fleets. It focuses on two key areas: (i) cost optimisation and effective vehicle fleet management and, (ii) support for organisational EV rollout and greener transport options. VivaDrive prioritises both activities, running them concurrently on OVHcloud infrastructure.

Its activities, such as simplifying the integration of EVs into its fleets, contributes to mitigating climate change, helps companies lower emissions, and supports ESG reporting on vehicle fleets.

The company also provides fleet audit solutions covering e-mobility and management, and uses these audits to determine which vehicles should be replaced by electric models, assess drivers’ willingness to use them, and design the appropriate charging network. VivaDrive intends to expand its services and implement multimodal transport solutions, including public transport, scooters, and bicycles. In a few months, it plans to broaden its customer portfolio and enter the French, Italian and Benelux markets.

The company’s flagship project early on was the recently launched PZU iFlota partnership program, offering a suite of digital solutions for managing vehicle fleets. It focuses on three areas: optimised operating costs, digital fleet insurance management, and improved fleet safety via personalised prevention.

To implement its projects securely, VivaDrive needed a provider that could host its solutions in a private, high-security infrastructure; a key requirement for the PZU and Fleet project. Meeting the company’s stringent security requirements—on par with those protecting banks or payment cards—was top priority and the biggest hurdle in implementation. This is because it involved the processing and integration of customers’ insurance data, particularly damages and policies.

VivaDrive sought a European cloud provider, primarily to comply with data transfer and server location regulations.

“We needed a solution for our PZU iFlota fleet system that could balance the highest safety standards with flexibility and scalability. OVHcloud provides a service that meets our expectations, including an EU-based dedicated, private cloud run by a French company. Thanks to Hosted Private Cloud, we enjoy exclusive access to a physical server and associated resources. The PCI DSS security level is also ensured by the server’s placement in a dedicated, secure section of the datacentre. Similar solutions are used by companies from the financial sector.” Radek Czajka, CTO, VivaDrive.

VivaDrive now seamlessly hosts all its projects on OVHcloud as needed, leveraging the public cloud or, where necessary, a private infrastructure for its key projects (e.g. PZU iFlota). Usually, the rigid structure of most cloud solutions presents a major challenge for businesses requiring stricter data protection, which is why OVHcloud’s flexible, customer-focused approach is the perfect solution. VivaDrive plans to expand its services to Western Europe, so OVHcloud datacentres located in that region are a key component of its strategy.

Partnering with OVHcloud greatly benefits VivaDrive’s collaboration strategy. The company customises many aspects of its solutions to meet each customer’s specific needs. VivaDrive highlights the superior support and assistance it consistently receives, a level unmatched by other large providers. VivaDrive also values its participation in the Advanced Partnership Program, which allows for joint project discussions. OVHcloud’s technical experts also provide VivaDrive with extensive support.

“We are very pleased with the satisfying outcome of the PZU iFlota project, largely due to the invaluable partnership with OVHcloud, which helped us to successfully navigate various complex challenges. OVHcloud provided us with comprehensive support, including detailed security protocols and GDPR compliance expertise, which was crucial to our implementation and significantly eased the process. Also, OVHcloud teams went the extra mile to give us quick, flexible support—and a premium service. We trusted OVHcloud to deliver the necessary technical and enterprise solutions to safeguard our customers’ sensitive data. We look forward to joining forces on future projects to further grow our business.” Mateusz Maj, CEO, VivaDrive.
