How More Companies are Saving Time and Money

SPONSORED CONTENT -- (StatePoint) Forget the company car of the past—today, businesses and organizations are using sleek, efficient and safe vehicles maintained by professional fleet management companies to get from point A to point B.

“Outsourcing vehicles to a professional fleet management company is a win-win solution for many organizations—it can alleviate administrative headaches while lowering overall costs. And if, like many organizations, yours is seeking to adopt more sustainable practices, this is one way to potentially reduce your company’s environmental footprint,” says Brice Adamson, president, Enterprise Fleet Management, a rapidly expanding operation, which is a testament to the value it provides to businesses.

If you rely on a fleet of 20 or more vehicles to meet your core business goals or are looking for an alternative to an employee vehicle reimbursement program, there are several benefits to partnering with a fleet management company:

Bottom-Line Savings: Selecting the right vehicle for the right job can help avoid unnecessary costs due to excessive maintenance, fuel expenses, upgrades or even an excess of vehicles. In fact, Enterprise Fleet Management delivered $77 million in total maintenance and repair savings in 2023 for its customers through price negotiations, warranty checks and its National Service Department staffed by a team of ASE-certified technicians.

New Technology: Fleet management companies have access to the latest and greatest technologies, which can streamline your operations and improve the way you do business. These new vehicle technologies have many benefits—from automating fuel expense reports, optimizing routes and monitoring driver performance, to tracking mileage to assist with maintenance scheduling.

Brand Image: Your company fleet is more than a collection of vehicles—it sends a message to your community and your own employees. A fleet management company can offer vehicle customization with colors and graphics to help advertise your services and project the right image.

Safety: By outsourcing the management of your company fleet, you can rest easy knowing employees are driving newer, well-maintained vehicles equipped with the latest safety technologies, including blind spot warning systems, backup cameras and other features that have become standard vehicle safety equipment.

Saving Time: Transitioning from a self-managed to a managed model can free up precious staff hours once dedicated to paperwork, maintenance approvals, negotiations and more, so you can focus on what really matters: your core business goals.

Sustainability: As transportation evolves, it’s important for companies to embrace sustainability as part of their business strategy. Operating vehicles efficiently can help advance your progress toward sustainability goals, like cutting tailpipe carbon emissions through driving electric vehicles, and minimizing gas consumption and related costs through the use of fuel-efficient and hybrid vehicles. A professional fleet management company can guide your business on a course to establish, implement and achieve these goals without sacrificing productivity. They can provide you with newer, more efficient vehicles and help you understand the costs and benefits.
