Love my Tender



In a scene deleted from the movie Pulp Fiction, Uma Thurman's character says "There's two kinds of people in this world, Elvis people and Beatles people." While that's pithy and succinct, sometimes it's better to go with the Vienna Philharmonic. It's not always a matter of picking 'the best', it's usually a matter of picking 'the best fit'.


Too often when corporate fleet managers issue tenders they have already decided the outcome. I need a fleet management organisation and so I issue a tender document to a series of fleet management organisations. But what it that's not the best solution? What if there's an entirely different approach that would be the best fit for your company and your circumstances?


At Connector we've found that every fleet is unique and every solution needs to be tailored for the specific circumstances of that fleet. Maybe it is a matter of Elvis or The Beatles but more often the best fit is something that is prepared and composed for the specific occassion.


We've worked with fleets around the world. Not just to assess suppliers, but to first determine which category of supplier is the best option for your business. Don't be cruel, send us an email today.

FROM THE COMPANY CAR TO EMPLOYEE MOBILITY

Sample

Few trends have swept an industry the way the concept of “Mobility” has swept through the fleet management industry in the past decade. It has become the cure-all buzzword for fleet operators, human resource departments and travel managers worldwide, but it seems that there are as many definitions of "Mobility" as there are people to define it.

 

This paper considers the topic of mobility and what it means for businesses in general and the fleet management world in particular. We look at the developing trends in the field as well as the impact on people and places. Complete with practical recommendations and forecasts of coming changes, the documents considers how Mobility will affect you and your business and how you can turn it to your advantage.

Fleet Maturity Test

The fleet maturity survey allows you to objectively measure the maturity of your fleet in 6 categories:

​

  • Car Policy,

  • Risk Management,

  • Sourcing & Supplier Management,

  • Contracts & Agreements,

  • Mobility and Powertrains,

  • Data & Cost.

 

After replying to 30 multiple-choice questions, the tool calculates a ‘maturity score’ and positions your score against a ‘target maturity level’ based on your fleet size.

​

Try using the tool based on specific global regions for your fleet to allow you to measure the results of your efforts in each country or region.
