Fleet management services delivering real cost savings through a transparent web-based platform. This is the HAYMOZ Fleet Performance offering, and so far it has attracted clients from 70 countries, operating over 60,000 cars. Urs Haymoz, founder and managing director of the Swiss company tells us why.
“Today our services are built on an international consolidated Management Information System on fleets, including outsourced fleet management, country based vehicle bidding, centralized invoice control and other services”, says Mr Haymoz. “Our business model is strictly based on performance – TCO/CO2 performance of each single car – and supported by a high degree of standardized IT systems and web based tools which are used today in more than 35 countries on our fleetDECK® platform. Our focus is on large international fleets, covering all major industries. Today more than 60,000 cars operating in 70 countries with more than 80 leasing providers are centrally managed, assessed and controlled.”
What services with which added value do you propose to international fleet managers?
U. Haymoz : “Depending on the capability to target ambitious goals, our customers realized a decrease of the TCO cost level on a two-digit value. The consolidated visibility of a car portfolio, and the respective TCO and CO2 exposure - all on one single external platform - is recognized today as the most wanted value for international fleet managers. To have a strong partner as a general contractor for all management services no matter which service provider is handling cars at local level is a strong value.”
How do you guarantee your independency towards your clients and the market?
U. Haymoz : “Transparency combined with strict confidentiality, experience and safe processes are our commitment to our clients and their suppliers. We underline this by working with all leasing providers and car manufacturers and their confidential customer data without restrictions and on an “open book” basis regarding the TCO of cars. We do not touch cars. Cars are in hands of the car owner, but we take care on the cost performance of cars on client’s mandate basis.”
What are for you the two new trends in fleet business?
U. Haymoz : “The complexity of international and local fleet management is drastically improving, driven by new technologies of the manufacturers on one hand, the necessity of efficient policy and cost control on the other hand. Both trends tend toward a professionally based fleet management policy and the hire of external and independent expertise. New and internationally standardized data processing technologies are the enablers of this process. That’s exactly what HAYMOZ stands for.”
An international fleet management policy is really possible...
Urs Haymoz : “Of course it’s possible, as long as there is a local freedom of choice within a corporate portfolio of pre selected suppliers. But one should be aware: a international fleet policy is only implementable in combination with a strong change management approach and the respective buy-in and alignment process on corporate and local level.”
