Sole supply v outsourcing fleet management - what is the difference?

Many fleets engage a leasing company on a sole supply contract but when examined in detail the similarities between this and an outsourced fleet management model are significant. Sole supply with a leasing company almost exclusively means that your vehicle funding is provided by one supplier. With all the economic factors that can influence rentals there are potential risks associated with this sole supply funding option.

Underpinning our outsourced model is the ability to source vehicles via a panel of approved funders. This multi-bid allows customers to take advantage of market fluctuations and in essence we create a consistently competitive bidding environment that a sole supply arrangement cannot replicate.

To meet the full requirement of customers’ needs there are a range of tasks that leasing companies have to bring together to provide a sole supply service.

Outsourcing fleet management delivers a number of benefits to include:

• Optimising the use of your valuable people resource
• Cost control via a dedicated and highly skilled team who validate 100% of your invoices
• Your drivers have ready access to a highly trained team of Customer Service Advisors
• Access to leading suppliers whose service delivery capability best suits your requirement
• Access to a flexible, state of the art IT system that can accommodate the most complex needs
• In-life impartial fleet consultancy that focuses on what is right for you
• Our IT infrastructure is flexible and allows us to integrate your requirement from an operational and data management perspective
• We do not restrict you by trying to shoehorn your needs into an “off the shelf” proposition   .
