Smart Charging Technologies Launches Fleet Audit Program

ORLANDO, Fla., Sept. 29, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Smart Charging Technologies (SCT), an independent provider of motive power fleet intelligence, today unveiled the Motive Power SCORE Program, a managed service designed to help fleet operators make smarter decisions about their battery, charger, and truck investments. The program, which began with a free equipment list audit and a dedicated Fleet Analyst, aims to provide fleet operators with a clear, continuous answer on total cost of ownership, without adding another system to learn and maintain.

The program's development was driven by a consistent finding across SCT's fleet data: considerable capital often remains unused in oversized batteries and underutilized chargers and forklift truck equipment. This finding matters because the total cost of ownership across a mixed motive power fleet has become increasingly difficult to see clearly, and most fleet and DC teams do not want to take on another complex system to learn and maintain. SCT built the SCORE Program as a managed service rather than new software for this reason: a dedicated Fleet Analyst handles the monitoring and analysis, so operators get a clear answer without adding to their own workload.

The program begins with an equipment list audit of a fleet's batteries, chargers, and trucks, followed by a detailed SCORE proposal, installation of CHARGlink, BATTlink, and TRUKlink devices, and continuous monitoring and analysis from a dedicated SCT Fleet Analyst. The relationship continues for as long as the fleet does, a long-term partnership, not a bounded engagement. It is built for the realities of a mixed fleet: compatibility across battery, charger, and truck brands; cellular connectivity that doesn't depend on warehouse Wi-Fi; and a single view across all three equipment types, deployed without adding complexity for facility teams.

The program's first two independent deployments have already found over $1.6 million combined in stranded capital. A 20-site grocery distribution network identified $556,100 in stranded capital in 75 days, without a single new equipment purchase. A separate audit of a large retailer's North American distribution network found $1,097,000 in identified savings at a single site, with original battery sizing assumptions off by 60 to 75 percent from actual measured use. Across the fleets SCT has measured, the same pattern recurs: roughly 70% of fleets run on less than half of their available battery capacity daily, and 20 to 30 percent of chargers sit barely used.

The Motive Power SCORE Program is available now to fleet operators across the United States and Canada. Fleets interested in a complimentary audit may request one at smartchargetech.com/score-program.

SCT provides independent, brand-agnostic operational intelligence for motive power fleets, helping operations make smarter battery, charger, and truck decisions through continuous data rather than one-time snapshots. SCT sells no batteries, chargers, or trucks by design, only the data and the partnership behind it, so its findings are never shaped by what it has to sell. Learn more at smartchargetech.com.
