The case
Challenge, approach and evidence
01Context
+
A multinational organisation required greater consistency and governance across a fragmented international Fleet environment. Each country brought different regulatory, taxation, employee-relations, insurance and mobility requirements.
02Challenge
+
The category needed an end-to-end operating model rather than a single sourcing event.
- Market benchmarking, sourcing, supplier selection and leasing
- Vehicle eligibility, employee allowances and vehicle-model strategy
- Fuel-card governance and private-versus-business usage
- Taxation, insurance, driver fines and driver safety
- Country-specific regulatory requirements and supplier performance
