Supply Chain

Depending on where you sit in the international market, fleet products and services can offer a wide range of potential supply chain structures.

Chosen solutions will depend on many components, such as:-

  • preferred funding structure.
  • balance sheet treatment.
  • appetite for risk.
  • International consistency objectives.

Most suppliers will attempt to capture as many service lines as they can within a proposed solution; this creates multiple revenue streams for the supplier and is generally most productive for them. This is not always in the clients’ best interest and can force serious compromise on the commercial terms and operational structure.
Thus it is important to consider the full implications of supply chain structure prior to forming a long term strategy in this direction.
Fleetworx delivers support that acheives:-

  • A structure that enables the client to meet it’s core objectives
  • A supply chain that delivers best acheivable cost and service balance.
  • Built in service and cost management mechanisms
  • Long term evolutionary capabilities that will enable flex when necessary
