Outsourced Management
The most effective fuel managers and executives recognize that selective outsourcing can actually reduce costs and improve productivity.
When you compare the cost of engaging Sokolis Group for your fleet fuel program with the fuel savings you can achieve, it all adds up to more profits for your company’s fleet management operations and an affirmation of your innovative leadership. Here is how we handle your fuel management account.
Strategic Approach:
Every successful business has one thing in common - good planning. That's why strategic fuel planning is the foundation of everything we do. At Sokolis Group we make it our business to understand your business - from its current processes and preferences to its short and long term goals for your fleet fuel program.
The key components of our fuel management approach include:
Assessment:
There is no one-size-fits-all solution to the fuel planning and related challenges facing businesses. That's why Sokolis fuel consulting group does not sell cookie-cutter solutions. At the onset of our relationship we will evaluate:
- Fuel purchases, fleet fuel planning for gas prices and diesel fuel pricing
- Fuel vendors and fleet fuel program contracts
- Fuel process, frequency and locations
- Fuel expenses - include labor cost for fleet fueling
- Fuel tracking and fuel monitoring capabilities
- Back-office procedures to consolidate fleet fuel programs
- Best in class fuel management system
- Fuel audits, fleet fuel program, fuel price reconciliation
Through careful assessment we identify strengths we can build on and opportunities for fuel planning improvements. The assessment process lays the groundwork for the fuel planning process to come.
Project Fuel Planning:
During the project fuel planning stage we partner with you to establish your overall fleet fuel program strategy and set a course for forward progress. It is during this phase that we make specific fuel management recommendations and begin developing strategic and tactical blueprints. As part of the fuel planning process we will:
- Set fleet fuel program priorities
- Develop the fuel service design plan
- Quantify fleet fuel program specifications
- Develop plan time lines for fuel management implementation
- Recommend fleet fuel service partners
- Facilitate fuel service partner discussions
Once the overall fuel strategy and project plans are in place we work closely with you to ensure a smooth and timely fuel consulting implementation.
Fuel Program Implementation:
Sokolis Group works with you in a very hands-on manner to get your fuel planning implemented as expeditiously as possible. We partner with you and your fuel management teams to ensure seamless integration of the fleet fuel acquisition, fuel delivery and back-office strategies that have been crafted for your fleet management.
We have fleet fuel relationships with scores of fuel vendors, fleet fuel card operators that we can leverage to get you the best possible terms. And we manage fuel vendors closely to ensure consistent, high quality service and competitive pricing of diesel fuel and gas cost.
Ongoing fleet fuel support:
Once your program is up and running your dedicated Sokolis Group fuel management support team will continue to provide ongoing assistance. You will have the peace of mind of knowing that someone is keeping tabs on your fuel management program - leaving you more time to focus on your core business initiatives.
