For companies, the management of the car fleet requires the allocation of financial, human and technological resources which can be very important.
To optimize the operating costs of the fleet and benefit from the necessary resources and skills, you have two solutions:
- Recruit competent employees to manage the car fleet.
- Entrust the management of a automotive fleet to a Fleet Management expert service provider.
Externalizing fleet management then presents itself as a favorite solution, because it offers many advantages for businesses.
What are the advantages of outsourced park management?
A mastery of fleet management costs thanks to outsourcing
Each company has different needs for the mobility of employees. But one of the objectives common to each is to reduce the total cost of possession (TCO) of the fleet.
If companies are intended for Fush, it is essentially to activate new levers for cost reduction.
On average, at Fatec, we see a king of around 20 % on operational management . These savings are made thanks to the activation of several levers.
Competition of different rental companies
Competition of rental companies is one of the levers for reducing fleet management.
At Fatec, we see a saving of 10 % thanks to a benchmark process of the offers of the various rental companies. Especially with the arrival of electric and hybrid vehicles which generate price deviations of up to 100 € per month between two rental companies, confirms Pascal Pilleyre (sales manager at Fatec).
Invoice control
Systematically controlling the invoices of rental companies is an often neglected approach. That said, by rigorously controlling these invoices, you can identify invoiced elements not requested, or simply overcharging of services.
At Fatec, by systematically controlling the invoices of the rental companies, we manage to save on average 5 % on the total amount of invoices.
Fines management
Fine management is not a direct economy, but rather a means of avoiding costs linked to the increase in these. You can also outsource this activity.
Thanks to systematized processes, a flower allows you to react quickly in the event of a ticket and avoid costs for delay in payment for example.
Management of LLD contracts
LLD contract management requires special attention. When a vehicle is assigned to an employee, it is essential that the contract is adapted to its real use. For example, if the mileage provided for in the driving law is underestimated, significant additional mileage costs can occur at the end of the contract. The Fleeter then intervenes to anticipate these differences and renegotiate the necessary endorsements with the rental company to avoid additional costs.
It is also necessary to take care to avoid overlapping contracts, for example, when a new vehicle comes to an employee, while the old has not yet been returned. This leads to unnecessary double billing. At the scale of a park, these drifts can weigh heavily in business expenses.
Optimized management of restitutions
At the end of the contract, restitution costs can increase the total cost of possession (TCO) from 3 to 6 %. According to the long -term rental union, these unforeseen additional costs relate to 95 % of the 300,000 vehicles analyzed each year.
To avoid them, it is essential to check the condition of the vehicles and reread the contractual clauses before restitution.
