Tailored Approach

Fleet Consulting in a Specific Area:

First, everything begins with a no-obligation conversation. We want to hear your goals and your challenges. We will then discuss specifically what we are able to do in order to provide you with the perfect solutions.

Whether it’s discussing your needs for a more efficient operation, evaluating staff to technician ratios, addressing better utilization of your vehicles and equipment, building a car share program or implementing a data-driven equipment replacement program — our goal is always to help you advance: first to one level, then to the next.

Financial Planning

Budget Cuts:

  • Has Covid-19 caused cuts to your operating budget?
  • Do you have a plan that includes how to move forward with equipment replacement?
  • Would you like to explore what assets could be candidates for lifecycle extensions?
  • Do you have a plan for what to do in order to maintain an efficient operation?

Workforce Efficiency

Staffing Study:

  • Are you taking into consideration your percentage of outsourced work?
  • Are responsibilities appropriately assigned to the correct staff member?
  • Are you using VEUs (vehicle equivalency units) to determine the correct mechanic to asset ratio?

Performance Metrics

Productivity:

  • Does your technicians charging a high percentage of their labor directly to the customer as opposed to indirect time that is not billable?
  • Is the time for your staff takes to make repairs comparable to industry standards or are repairs taking too long to perform?
  • Do you understand your organization’s “fully burdened labor rate?”

Technology & Infrastructure

Modernization:

  • Does your operation have out-of-date equipment?
  • Is your facility laid out correctly? If not, it will take longer for a technician to find tools, get parts, and log on to work orders.
  • How your staff is collecting and using the data is vital. As they say, “garbage-in, garbage-out.”
  • Having up-to-date technology is the easiest way to save money and improve productivity. Having the correct Fleet Management Information System and Fuel Management System is critical.

Sustainability

Environmental:

  • Is your operation embracing environmental issues and programs?
  • An Energy Plan can result into thousands of dollars in savings from managing the facility, tires, fluids, fuel, alternative energy vehicles, and more.
  • Safety is another area of concern for most fleets. There are many solutions that should be considered to reduce risk, liability and provide cost savings to any organization.
  • Having up-to-date technology is the easiest way to save money and improve productivity.
