Intelligence: The CFO Layer That Never Sleeps

← Back to Blog

A human fractional CFO for a small fleet runs $2,500 to $7,000+ a month, and even then, they're checking in weekly or monthly, not watching the numbers live. Intelligence is Fleet Shield's answer to that gap — an automated fractional CFO layer that's running continuously, not on a billing cycle.

It synthesizes what's happening across Settlements, Compare, Alerts, and Fleet P&L into a single CFO-level view: which units are below breakeven, what deadhead is actually costing the fleet, where net margin is trending. Not raw data — the analysis a fractional CFO would hand you, generated automatically from your fleet's real numbers.

Why it matters: most small fleets can't justify a $5,000/month consultant, and the ones who can only get their attention periodically. Intelligence gives that same level of financial oversight continuously, at a fraction of the cost, because it's not billing by the hour — it's just running.

Where it connects: Intelligence doesn't hold its own data — it's the synthesis layer sitting on top of every other module's numbers, updating in real time as Settlements, Alerts, and Fleet P&L change underneath it.
