About The Customer

The customer is a company in the oil and gas industry. They have a fleet size of 3,000, which includes service, delivery, and sales cars, light trucks, medium trucks, heavy trucks, and trailers. The company utilizes various services such as acquisition and fleet partnership. They also use solutions for fuel, maintenance, risk and safety, and title, licensing, and registration. The company was facing issues with their current truck insert, which was not user-friendly, had limited payload capacity, and was potentially illegal for road standards.

The Challenge

The customer, an oil and gas company with a fleet size of 3,000, was facing issues with their current truck insert. The insert was not user-friendly and had limited payload capacity, which resulted in lower productivity and difficulty in complying with weight restrictions for road use. The truck inserts were too heavy, potentially illegal for road standards, and ergonomics were ignored for driver safety and comfort. The customer was looking for a solution that would follow company policies, be deemed as valuable to drivers, and comply with strict legal standards.

The Solution

Element Fleet Management worked with the customer to design a custom insert that combined all the necessary parts yet was lighter, more functional, had a reduced cost, and could be rolled out in a short amount of time. The new, more flexible insert met the regulated guidelines for truck inserts and in the end increased productivity. The re-designed insert was lighter and more versatile. This allowed for more payload capacity and improved technicians’ productivity while reducing costs, improving compliance, and accelerating deployment.

Operational Impact

This allowed for more payload capacity and improved technicians’ productivity.
