OUTSOURCING: WHAT REALLY MATTERS?
Fleet policy management
At Fleet Operations we focus solely on the provision of fleet management and outsourcing services, allowing our team to ensure that you achieve 100% policy compliance. The company car is as important as ever in the battle to attract and retain high quality staff. Using benchmarking and supplier negotiation, we help our clients ensure that choice lists are both attractive and fit for purpose.
Appointing and managing suppliers
Outsourcing to Fleet Operations gives you the ability to select the best-fit suppliers covering every aspect of your corporate fleet requirement. In addition:
■ We manage a wide range of tender processes to secure the most attractive terms from the UK’s leading fleet suppliers.
■ We significantly reduce time and resource associated with appointing new suppliers.
■ Our extensive fleet management expertise protects clients from contractual pitfalls that often have negative impacts on the supplier/client relationship
Satisfying your clients
A replacement vehicle is OK in theory, but only if it allows your employee to carry out the full extent of their duties.
■ We understand the important and often vital role that fleet plays in delivering the product/services of our clients.
■ We impartially evaluate price versus operational efficiency and make recommendations that are solely in our clients’ best interests.
Cost efficiency and control
Consistency of lease costs is an issue for all businesses. Most fleet outsourcing contracts tend to be with a sole leasing company supplier whose ability to deliver consistently competitive rates has to be taken on trust.
■ Multi-bid leasing achieves a competitive price on every vehicle, every time, typically saving 4-10% over sole supply.
■ Why use sole supply, when you can choose from a panel of leading providers?
