Case Study 1
International IT business looking to reduce total operating cost of fleet by 10% across EMEA
The client is a household name IT business operating some 1200 company cars across the EMEA region in 20 different markets. Each market ran it’s own fleet policy and although 80% of the fleet were in 6 countries, there was little or no leverage across the region.
In addition to the opportunity for leveraging more effectively, there was also an underlying desire to harmonise policy across the region, meeting a mid-market benefit offering.
With Fleetworx help, the company was able to structure a robust, consistent car policy which maintained a large degree of flexibility yet effectively leveraged the supply chain to achieve double digit savings.
The solution involved a complete reorienting of the supply chain with country strategies appropriate for each market. Suppliers were rationalised from around 35 to 9 new suppliers going forward.
Through a carefully managed implementation, we were able to help facilitate a smooth transition to the new policy and suppliers, and to implement cost / savings tracking mechanisms, as well as service measurement tools that will ensure that costs and serviceare continually measured and controlled going forward.
