 When
is the best time to review your fleet
services contracts?
Now. With today’s dramatically changing
business conditions and resource
requirements, cost cutting pressures,
volatile fuel prices, reduced vehicle
purchase prices, and plummeting vehicle
residual values, your leasing contracts may
no longer make sense for your organization.
Mercury Associates’ fleet leasing and fleet
management experts have helped organizations
save millions of dollars by providing
independent, unbiased advice on how to
ensure that the terms and conditions of
their fleet services contracts meet their
business needs and cost containment goals.
We do this by reviewing and suggesting
improvements to existing contracts,
assisting in the development of requests for
proposals, evaluating proposals using
structured methodologies that guarantee a
level playing field (something that
competing service providers actually
appreciate), and assisting with contract
negotiations.
The keys to getting maximum value from
your fleet management company
Competition – from the regular issuance of
properly designed RFPs
Transparency – in both the pricing of
vehicles and services and in billing for
them
Accountability – through the use of
measurable, enforceable performance
standards
Our consulting services produce cost
savings that far exceed our fees
One multinational manufacturing company we
recently assisted in rebidding their
contract realized savings in the first five
years of the agreement that were more than
87 times our consulting fees. Most CFO’s can
only dream about getting that kind of return
on a company’s investments!
Our consulting services are not limited to
analyzing contracts and developing RFPs.
Hundreds of organizations have turned to
Mercury for assistance in optimizing the
size of their fleets, conducting best
management practices reviews, and providing
unbiased third-party analysis for optimal
replacement parameters based on your actual
costs.
