Debunking Five Common Fleet Management Myths

Holman Marketing
September 6th, 2023

 

The fleet sector is undergoing a period of rapid change. Operators must adapt to changing regulations, environmental challenges, and new economic realities. Finding the right fleet supplier is critical to delivering ongoing success, but too many companies aren’t getting the support, commitment, and value from their partners. Are you?

Holman has redesigned and reengineered our offer to continue delivering for our customers. We’re redefining expectations in the fleet sector.

Do you still believe these fleet management myths? If so, it’s time to reconsider your fleet partner.

 

Myth 1: Fleets aren’t flexible.

There’s a prevalent myth that fleet management solutions are exclusively tailored for large corporations with big budgets – but that’s not the case.

We believe modern fleet management solutions should be flexible and designed around each customer’s needs. Holman’s unique approach to fleet management provides a scalable solution ensuring you’ve always got access to the vehicles you need – no matter the size of your business or specific requirements.

In periods of economic uncertainty, our unique approach to vehicle leasing enables you to experience greater operational efficiency. The ability to rapidly scale up or down your fleet for the future can help you reduce costs and streamline operations.

 

Myth 2: Fleet management support isn’t available when I need it.

Maintenance, repairs, and support are critical to the ongoing performance of every fleet – but many customers are worried that help won’t be on hand when needed. The solution? Work with a local provider with a national reach.

Holman’s Masterserve network provides total UK coverage for all fleet providers. Wherever you are, a trained and experienced mechanic is available to diagnose and fix the problem.

 

Myth 3: Fleet solutions are inefficient.

Committing to a single fleet provider locks you into a relationship that may deliver different results than you want. In the fleet world, every second counts – but operators still worry that contracts can constrain them, leaving them waiting for answers to questions and resolutions to urgent issues.

Fleet solutions require you to put your trust in a business to deliver on its promises and keep you from waiting for help when you need it. Whether speaking to your account manager, changing your agreement, or managing ongoing maintenance and servicing, you want to talk to someone who can provide a solution.

The key is finding a fleet partner that shapes its services around you, not expecting you to adapt to their processes, priorities, and timelines.

 

Myth 4: Fleet management is complex.

Fleet management complexity isn’t a myth, but customers shouldn’t be concerned with the details. In 2023, fleet management shouldn’t be offered on a rigid, one-size-fits-all approach.

A successful fleet management strategy is highly customisable and adapts to the unique requirements of each business.

Holman’s Fleet Management solutions focus on flexibility, ensuring that businesses can tailor the services to suit their specific needs, regardless of the fleet size or industry. Our services cut out the complexity for our customers, leaving them to focus on their core business with the confidence that we’re always there when they need us.

 

Myth 5: You’re on your own.

Sign a fleet agreement, and you’re on your own. We often hear this common myth – but it’s not true.

In today’s world, fleet management is an integral part of the overall business ecosystem. It impacts all departments, from operations and finance to customer service and safety. Everyone should recognise fleet management as a strategic priority.

When you work with Holman, you become part of our family. We work collaboratively to ensure we listen and understand your needs – building mutual respect and understanding that establishes long-lasting and loyal relationships.
