The main reason for revisiting fleets today is to reduce costs.
This leads many corporations to immediately start negotiating with vendors without having the basic indispensable information.
Moreover, because they did not identify, understand, validate current fleet costs, they are not able, once the negotiation process is over, to quantify the cost savings moving forward.
These are some reasons why, before negotiating with the supplier base, it is important to focus on the internal organization first, identifying, understanding and consolidating information on processes, products, prices, policies and best practices in place in the various countries.
Once the data collection and benchmarking reviews are completed, leading to a strategy and action plan, the purchase techniques of leveraging volumes, reducing the supplier base and introducing competitive bidding schemes can be used to negotiate better financial conditions and service levels.
But the real ultimate fleet goal is to find the trade-off between cost reductions (typically the company’s point of view) and driver satisfaction, as the vital consensus between the "best in cost" and the "best in class" solution.
