The Challenge
The customer, a company in the consumer goods industry, was experiencing declining service levels with their current fleet management company. Their drivers were not receiving the level of customer service and support they required to keep them and their vehicles on the road and in compliance. The customer initiated an RFP process to review products and services provided by major fleet management companies to improve their service levels.
About The Customer
The customer is a company in the consumer goods industry. They have a total fleet size of 270 vehicles, which are used for sales purposes. The company was previously working with a different fleet management company but was dissatisfied with the declining service levels. The drivers were not receiving the necessary support to keep their vehicles on the road and in compliance. As a result, the company initiated an RFP process to review the products and services provided by other major fleet management companies.
The Solution
The customer selected Element Fleet Management based on RFP responses and demonstrated service levels. The customer enrolled in several services and was impressed with the implementation team and the entire onboarding process. Customer service levels improved dramatically and the customer had clear visibility into their total fleet expenses through Element’s online reporting tools. Element works closely with the fleet manager to administer the fleet program and ensure drivers’ needs are being met while saving the customer time and money on its fleet. Based on recommendations from Element, the customer moved from non-required SUVs to safer, more cost efficient 4WD sedans.

The vending industry is undergoing a sea change, taking advantage of new technologies to go beyond just delivering snacks to creating a new retail location. Intelligent vending machines can be found in many public locations as well as company facilities, selling different types of goods and services, including even computer accessories, gold bars, tickets, and office supplies. With increasing sophistication, they may also provide time- and location-based data pertaining to sales, inventory, and customer preferences. But at the end of the day, vending machine operators know greater profitability is driven by higher sales and lower operating costs.
