With over 25 years of experience in the tech industry, including at British Telecom, Vodafone, Dell Technologies, Long is a proven expert in scaling hardware and SaaS businesses.

Shiftmove brings Manuel Schuler back: New momentum for customer success

After a one-year sabbatical, Manuel Schuler is returning to Shiftmove as Vice President Customer Success. From 2019 to 2023, he played a key role in building and leading the Customer Success team at Avrios - including the merger with Vimcar to form Shiftmove. Schuler brings fresh energy and new perspectives to further strengthen the team and the company's rapid growth in Europe. Prior to joining Avrios, Schuler worked as a procurement strategy expert at the management consultancy Efficio.

“We have a clear vision that more than one million vehicles will be managed using our cloud-based software solutions by 2027. With Olga and Manuel, we are gaining two outstanding leaders who will drive this vision forward with us and play a decisive role in shaping the growth of Shiftmove. Especially in economically challenging times, we are setting new standards in digital fleet management - so that companies can manage their mobility more intelligently, efficiently and sustainably,’ says Francine Gervazio, CEO of Shiftmove.

Shiftmove makes fleet management as simple and efficient as possible. With a combination of innovative software and telematics solutions, the company supports both small and medium-sized companies as well as large corporations - including DB Schenker, McMakler and flaschenpost.de - in managing their vehicle fleets more economically and ecologically. By automating time-consuming, manual processes and making targeted use of detailed data analyses, companies not only save costs and resources, but can also strategically plan the switch to alternative drive systems.
