Fleet management consultants at Odessa Technologies, Inc. recently did a lot of research and found key trends that are changing the fleet management industry. A real-time exchange of information is one of these key trends. Users can also expect more functionality from 1) the integration of leasing software and fleet management systems and 2) web-based fleet/leasing software. With the arrival of Internet-based fleet management software, fleet management companies can now use the accessibility of the Web to create big advantages over traditional leasing software products.
Web-based design has a lot of advantages.
One of the benefits of Web-based software's extra features is that it makes operations run more smoothly. In the past, it was hard to keep track of complicated relationships with all kinds of customers. With today's technology, users can connect to the fleet management company or lessor from anywhere with Internet access. So, the traditional one-way data pipelines become places where people can share information. Integration of leasing software and fleet management systems can also help the business save money in a clear way. More specifically, fleet management software can connect business partners in real time, which greatly shortens the amount of time it takes to communicate.
Integrated Lease and Fleet Management Software Solutions
Odessa's software suite was made specifically for companies that manage fleets and leases. It can handle all fleet operations and manage the entire life cycle of the underlying lease contract. Fleet leasing usually starts when a fleet card is given out and ends when the vehicle is taken off the road. With a growing number of services to choose from, fleet management companies can choose software applications with features like fuel purchase management, maintenance work management, accident management, licence management, fleet card administration, exception reporting, and customer billing, just to name a few. When this is combined with fully integrated lease management features, it brings something new to the table. Now, the customer can be thought of in terms of all the services or products they pay for, not just fleet or lease. This also makes it easier to figure out how profitable the company is on the inside. This lets salespeople, for example, better negotiate the different terms of a relationship with a customer that includes fleet and leasing products.
Integration and customization are important.
Fleet leasing services can be handled as value-added services that go along with the lease life-cycle or as separate, stand-alone products that don't have anything to do with leasing. The choice depends completely on the needs of each business. Advanced fleet management software allows for seamless integration between existing systems and some level of customization. This makes sure that the investment will pay off in the long run.
