Fujitsu Technology Solutions had clear objectives in outsourcing the management of its car fleets to Fleet Logistics. The first was to achieve total cost transparency in all its fleet operations along with detailed cost analysis and cost reduction, especially through Fleet Logistics’ matrix approach of cost management.

It also wanted to see a reduction in acquisition costs through the use of a multi-vendor environment, which Fleet Logistics achieves through the use of its multi-bidding solution, which compares prices from a panel of different leasing companies to optimize buying costs.

At the same time as achieving cost efficiencies across the fleet, the company also wanted to improve driver satisfaction without reducing driver budgets. Company cars are spread over a wide variety of employees and job functions, including management, sales, pre-sales, technicians, consultants, maintenance and administration.

The company offers financial incentives to drivers selecting low carbon emitting cars as part of its corporate environmental policy and approach and its drive to reduce carbon emissions.

Prior to appointing Fleet Logistics, Fujitsu Technology Solutions managed its car fleets in house in Belgium and Luxembourg and planned to make use of an internally developed IT tool to upload all invoices.

Peter Soliman, Chief Executive Officer of Fleet Logistics, said: “Naturally, we are delighted to be appointed by Fujitsu Technology Solutions to manage its car fleets in France, Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg. On the client’s behalf, we will be looking to achieve major cost savings and process efficiency, improve transparency and maximise our expertise to innovate, as well as providing drivers with an enhanced driver experience.”
