Put simply, fleet management covers all the ways we help you run your business vehicles and equipment to increase efficiency and decrease costs.
From finance to operations to maintenance and licensing, fleet management companies provide expertise so you can spend more time focusing on what you do best.
Fleet management services represent any partnership that helps to create productivity and efficiency within a group of vehicles. Think of all the tasks you’d need to deal with to run a fleet of commercial vehicles:
Fleet vehicle acquisition, sales, and financing
Personal usage and expense tracking
Preventative maintenance, repair, equipment uptime, and roadside service
Logistics and delivery management
Fuel consumption, price mitigation, and expense strategy
Titling, licensing, registration, tolling, roadway and interstate compliance
Insurance, accident resolution, and protection
Telematics and tracking software development, integration, and implementation
Consultations on supply chain management
Driver safety and training
Whenever a vehicle fleet grows, there is a corresponding increase in cost, time, and headache. That’s why businesses with large groups of vehicles, from light or heavy-duty vehicles to forklifts or scooters, partner with fleet management companies.
Your business can reap the benefit from the scale of operations from fleet management companies like Element Fleet Management. Instead of dealing with only one fleet, we manage millions of vehicles so we can centralize expertise, negotiate better partnerships, and build a more efficient infrastructure than anybody else.
Fleet management companies partner with you to support and improve your fleet operations. That means building a team, centralizing operations, and setting up communications. From there, everything depends on your specific needs.
Looking for more of a partner than a paid service? Great, a company like Element Fleet Management can help with the whole lifecycle of your fleet vehicles, from acquisition and financing to program management and vehicle resale.
Want to keep control of some of your operations, but transition others? Fleet management companies can work as project managers. Through cutting-edge technology, these companies provide the tools and resources to boost efficiency, cut costs, manage risk, and steadily streamline a scalable fleet.
If you’re unsure precisely what you want or need, fleet management companies help you find the right solutions for your organization.
Whether your long-term objectives aim to improve productivity, add efficiency, or reduce operating costs such as fuel consumption, a fleet management advisor can help you. You may even discover services you hadn’t considered, such as reducing your carbon footprint or managing taxable benefits.
Fleet management services help companies with owned or leased vehicles save money, time, and liability. Companies can also move resources from vehicle management to more profitable areas such as client service, sales, and product delivery.
