Finding cost savings for our customers

At Ayvens, we take cost saving very seriously. We want to build long-term relationships with our customers and we believe that one of the best ways to do this is to help them get the most cost-effective fleets for their requirements.

“We’re able to analyse any aspects of a customer’s fleet that they would like us to look at, to see if their usage is optimal. One recent study I was involved in focused on a customer’s requirement for short-term rentals to support their long-term fleet. We explored how these vehicles were used and identified a more cost-effective solution. Our detailed report showed that a switch from short-term rentals to our long-term rental service – Ayvens Flex – would save them more than £6 per vehicle, per day. This could add up very quickly given the level of usage they had, plus the service would give them more control over the vehicles they received.

There are also times when we can see savings for customers if they switch to Ayvens services. We have to be careful in these situations to make sure that the change is suitable – as our role is to provide the best guidance for the customer’s requirements not Ayvens’ business – but the benefits can be notable.

I remember one customer who had a fleet from us but used a different accident management provider. The consultancy team produced a detailed analysis of this situation that showed how moving to our accident management service would create a more holistic approach with a single point of contact, combined invoicing and less policy management. This reduced the administration burden for the customer. As a result, they could allocate more people and time to business-critical areas, without needing to spend extra money on new hires.”
