Fleet management is all about cutting costs and setting up programmes which maximise efficiencies. Most businesses recognise that and aim to achieve it, but when your own fleet departments are running at a loss and not seeing bottom line cost savings you can go into panic, and even if you are already contracting out your fleet management services, changing to a more effective service provider should be your objective. At Total Motion we have the skills and experience to help you with this transition.
With unrivalled experience in the fleet management sector, and with 19,000 approved suppliers, Total Motion are as well connected as you could hope for in a fleet management services provider. Our relationships in vehicle leasing, finance, insurance, service & maintenance and technology have put us at the forefront of the fleet management sector and mean we are able to build strategic relationships with partners with the sole objective of helping you. These trusted relationships can even be with services competitors who understand that partnering with Total Motion has long term mutual benefits.
What are the benefits of changing to a new fleet management company?
Of course we understand that clients can feel nervous and reluctant to implement change when existing outsourced fleet management agreements are in place. But we have the knowledge and expertise to quickly identify where weaknesses and shortfalls exist and we have the skills to be able to negotiate new agreements and deliver immediate improvements.
Managing ‘legacy fleet’ is one of our most effective attributes. Our years of industry experience means we can carry out a comprehensive fleet audit on your department and very quickly make recommendations for improvement:
- Where cost reductions can be made
- Where processes are cumbersome and labour intensive
- Where vehicle stock is poorly managed
- Where compliance issues are costly
- Where service and maintenance is poorly managed
- Where software and technology can bring better results
The key is that we can deliver these improvements in your fleet, whatever stage it is at in its lifecycle. A fleet department is never a blank canvas, and always offers a structure of sorts that we can build on, and we won’t recommend fundamental and broad-sweeping change unless we can guarantee immediate results. That means ‘legacy fleet’ always gives us something positive to work with, even if you have not been seeing the results you want. The experience of Total Motion, as industry-leading fleet management service providers, means we can quickly identify these failings and implement swift and effective change.
Managing change effectively with a new fleet management services provider
Managing change is one of the most difficult forms of management, particularly in the workplace. People are often reluctant to change and are fearful of the consequences. Therefore, at Total Motion we are considerate to the individual nature of your business and will tailor our approach to the idiosyncratic needs of your business. This means we will work to improve existing processes as well as introduce new ones, as part of managing change carefully and considerately. An essential part of this is achieving buy-in from key individuals. Our change management processes won’t necessarily discard everything currently in place, and will be respectful to what already exists and how people are attached to it.
If you are not getting the most from your fleet management company, don’t be fearful of change and contact Total Motion today. There is no workplace situation or environment we haven’t come across and dealt with. And with your cooperation, in addition to the wealth of contacts and industry relationships we have already built up over many years, Total Motion will bring immediate solutions to build a future of short and medium term change and long term results. So whatever stage your fleet management programmes are at, consider the industry leaders and contact Total Motion today.
