 Accurate charge-back rates are indispensable
to sound fiscal management of your vehicle
fleet. Mercury’s consultants have enabled
many customers to save millions of dollars
through reductions in annual operating costs
and increased productivity as a direct
result of incorporating a sound,
well-documented charge-back rate into their
fleet operations.
The charge-back accurately recognizes and
allocates to each user the costs of
operating, maintaining, and replacing the
vehicles they use. Like Adam Smith’s
powerful “invisible hand” of the free
marketplace, the charge-back system brings
many benefits to both individual users and
to the fleet organization.
Users who are responsible for the costs they
incur tend to make informed decisions about
their own consumption of fleet resources,
gain a clear understanding of the services
they receive, and can hold fleet management
accountable for delivering as promised.
The fleet organization that implements a
charge-back system immediately becomes more
cost competitive and able to balance its
budget. Management also gains a full
understanding of its total costs and can
make better and more economical choices
about its fleet size and composition,
operator policies and practices, and overall
fiscal management. |
