Element delivers win-win for clients despite unexpected ordering cut-offs
February 12, 2022
What do you get when you combine fleet expertise, agility and outside-the-box thinking? For two Element Fleet clients, this winning combination helped them both overcome impacts caused supply chain and OEM vehicle production setbacks.
Challenge
The fleet industry knows the unforeseen hurdles of the pandemic and its residual effects all too well. Two Element clients experienced differing impacts:
- One client needed to downsize their fleet, but had several new units ordered and at the upfitter that could not be cancelled.
- The second client, with essential business needs, placed factory orders that did not go through due to unexpected OEM cut-offs, and faced with placing more expensive stock orders.
Solution
Through financial impact analysis, Element’s Strategic Consulting experts identified opportunities to reassign nine vehicles from client one to client two and coordinate required upfitting changes while client two worked directly with the OEM to secure incentives not previously approved.
Result
Continuously considering the varying and changing needs of clients is one critical lever that makes for a consistent, superior experience when working with Element.
