Fleet Supplier Management responsibilities can be shared across the business within HR, Finance, Procurement or Facilities.
Managing ongoing fleet contracts is essential to stop cost leakage, price creep and keep risks to a minimum.
For those responsible for fleet, do they have the time, willingness or expertise to manage the fleet effectively?
Is the answer is no! We can help.
We offer fleet supplier relationship management (Fleet SRM) as a service.
Fleet Supplier Management | The Challenges
Fleet Management is an increasingly complex topic which is impacted by a range of different economic and social factors (as described in our PESTEL analysis)
The Knowledge Gap
We understand where fleet management suppliers make their return and can focus on reducing price creep.
The Power Gap
Where a lack of confidence can have the supplier leading the relationship rather than the customer.
Legislation
Constantly changing and evolving legislation surrounding tax, risk and emissions.
Technology
New technologies are changing the vehicles your employees choose and come with differing infrastructure needs.
Data
Data flows from different suppliers in different formats.
Fleet Supplier Management | The Benefits Of Using EVP Solutions
Improve
Improve supplier performance through active management of your fleet management suppliers.
Insight
Consolidate all fleet data to provide meaningful insight. Our systems allow any fleet information to be consolidated into a single platform giving complete visibility of the whole fleet. This view allows investigation of any element of the fleet to identify opportunities or threats which may exist.
Resource
Free up internal resource to focus on the core activities of the business. Internal stakeholders become approvers of activities rather than adminstrators leaving them more time to add value in their core job role.
Communications
Improve internal communications to all drivers and stakeholder groups through targeted reporting and market updates. Build confidence of senior stakeholders that the fleet is being well looked after and operates in a class leading way.
Cost and Operational Efficiency
Reduce cost and improve the bottom line through identifying opportunities and proactively working with suppliers to deliver enhancements.
