Fleet Management Consultants Now Available For All Businesses

Detroit, MI based Fleet Cost & Care is pleased to offer their services as fleet management consultants to the US business community. The company has a wealth of experience implementing modern fleet management solutions, and they look forward to helping their community reduce operational costs and improve overall efficiency via tried-and-tested strategies.

As many contractors will be aware, rapid growth brings with it new challenges, with one of the most prominent being the need to track and maintain a correspondingly larger fleet of work vehicles. Many factors contribute to the effectiveness of a fleet, including fuel expenditure, trip data, driver behavior, vehicle maintenance and so on. Fleet Cost & Care can help businesses use the appropriate metrics to track these factors as well as make informed decisions that enable them to minimize waste.

Businesses that want a data-driven approach, for instance, will find that fuel expenditure is one of the most important fields they can analyze in order to improve efficiency. Fleet Cost & Care comments that businesses that need to make deliveries or travel regularly for any reason will find that minor fuel savings will quickly add up over time, eventually leading to higher profits and making the business more resilient to unexpected challenges. In the past, the company has recommended that clients either switch vehicles or change routes during periods of excessive fuel use in order to reduce expenditure (and save money).

Expanding on this, Fleet Cost & Care states that performing commercial vehicle maintenance as required is similarly vital. Company vehicles, by their nature, see a great deal of use on a regular basis, and this means that they need more maintenance lest they suffer breakdowns at inopportune times. Instead of waiting for breakdowns to take place that may alter a business’ schedule and introduce costly delays, Fleet Cost & Care says maintenance can greatly reduce downtime since it can be scheduled for days or even hours where the vehicle in question is not expected to be in operation. Certain mechanics offer after hours services for commercial clients specifically for this purpose, and partnering with them can prove most fruitful.

Fleet Cost & Care adds that they offer specialized software for heavy equipment fleet that can be used to track all of these factors and more. As many users have already discovered, this software can drastically improve their ability to make positive changes in a fleet’s operational structure.

A Capterra review from Juan H. shares that there are numerous advantages to engaging Fleet Cost & Care’s software platform. “Once it has been set up and customized to your industry, it is an indispensable product. Without this, you are wasting both time and money. Set up is what takes the longest to use. You can use the ‘canned’ options, but we decided to customize it to our specific needs. Yes, [this takes] more time but it is worth it, which then brings us to the tech support which is great. Should we come across a problem, it has been answered, if not within a few minutes but within 24 hours.” This review suggests that new users may find themselves overwhelmed by the sheer amount of options at their disposal, but it also recommends that they simply speak to the Fleet Cost & Care team for help acclimating to the platform’s many functions.

Another review from Morgan H. states, “First and foremost, we like that our billing and payroll can be turned around within hours with the use of ATOM and electronic tickets. The benefits are immeasurable! We also love that the Fleet Cost & Care team is always willing to help us in coming up with enhancements/customizations to increase overall efficiency or solve a recurring problem.” This review similarly opines that new users may find it difficult to get up and running by themselves. Fortunately, Fleet Cost & Care recognizes that customer support is a vital aspect of their service, and they have spared no effort ensuring that users always have access to a knowledgeable representative.

Jeff Curran and the rest of the team at Fleet Cost & Care are standing by to discuss any other concerns or inquiries a client may have. Further details regarding the company’s services, software offerings and more can be found on their official website.
