FLD ADDRESSES INDUSTRY DISRUPTION

FLD EXECUTIVE BRIEF OFFERS PRACTICAL ADVISE FOR TOUGH TIMES

The fleet industry has undergone drastic changes since the COVID-19 pandemic began, causing vehicles and products to become scarce and employees difficult to find. In order to overcome these challenges, fleet managers should first perform an audit of their operations to better understand their strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. In addition to developing an auditing process, fleet managers should keep their eyes and ears open and ask questions about anything that does not make sense. To prevent negative effects of industry disruption, fleets should choose service providers with a proven track record of meeting and exceeding customer expectations. While no one is totally immune from the negative effects of industry disruption, sticking with proven providers and not keeping all of one’s eggs in one basket are good strategies to combat fleet disruption. Fleet managers should also seek out partners with established supply chains and ready access to the products and solutions that fleets need to run successful operations. Since industry disruption has been the number one problem facing many fleets, many fleet managers are hesitant to try new providers. So – what’s a smart fleet to do about it? Find out in our latest Fleet Industry Executive Brief: 5 Ways to Minimize the Effects of Fleet Industry Disruption.

Q1 WHITE METAL MARKET REPORT SETS TONE FOR 2023

FLD has released its Year Behind/Ahead preview in its quarterly White Metal Market Report. The report looks back at 2022 and highlights how FLD’s predictions about the year’s trends, opportunities, and roadblocks turned out. FLD then offers predictions on what the fleet industry can expect in 2023. FLD predicts that 2023 will be a more favorable year than 2022, although the industry will continue to face challenges such as limited vehicle availability, base model pickups and van pricing falling off, supply chain woes, and inflation. However, there will be a more favorable trajectory as the economy improves, barring any prolonged recession. The report suggests that the proliferation of electric vehicles will drive innovation across the industry as they become more sophisticated and charging becomes more available. The growth of electric vehicles will create newfound excitement across the industry as everyone jockeys for their piece of the electric vehicle pie. FLD also warns that easy access to inexpensive financing will dry up and fleets should start stockpiling cash to prepare for this. Click the link below to read more.

FLD WHITE PAPER SERIES: HOW TO SPOT AN EASIER REMARKETING EXPERIENCE

Fleets can achieve their productivity goals by finding a service provider that can optimize their operations and business functions. One of the four things fleets should look for in a remarketing partner is a provider that can eliminate risk by purchasing assets upfront. This is particularly important because remarketing can be a risky endeavor, and it’s critical to sell end-of-lease vehicles quickly to avoid accruing daily charges such as lease payments, maintenance, insurance, and storage. Liability can also present a significant risk, as accidents can lead to additional costs. Working with a remarketer like FLD can help eliminate even the smallest possibility of risk by taking an ownership position in the vehicle before it goes through the remarketing process, offering a guaranteed price and eliminating the possibility of lease payments or surprise costs. Fleets can also benefit from partnering with a remarketer with technologically advanced tools that make their job easier, such as automated systems that track vehicles through the remarketing process, providing real-time updates and detailed reports. These tools can help streamline the process, reduce administrative burden and save time and resources. FLD’s remarketing technology, for instance, is designed to make the process faster, easier, and more efficient, offering sellers better prices and keeping their operations lean and nimble. By partnering with the right remarketing provider, fleets can make life easier, maximize resources, and increase productivity. Click the link below to read more.
