As drivers can drive over 1.5
million miles each month, companies should look towards financial management.
Due to rising operating costs, adopting fuel cards which purchases fuel more
efficiently and effectively will reduce losses. Besides convenience, a
product's ease of use are what customers look out for and therefore a more
holistic system should be used.
In this section, we will be
focusing on Fleet One’s system fuel card functions. Fleet One’s GPS system is
able to locate the nearest and cheapest fuel Kiosk, monitor and notify drivers
on road conditions. GPS insight also provide a fuel card function. However, it
does not provide fuel price indication for price comparison between different
fuel kiosks, which could result in unnecessary fuel expenses by the company. For
these reasons, Fleet One’s system is more holistically sound which is evident
from the comparison with GPS Insight, a fleet management company.
Besides convenience, ease of usage
of a product are what customers look out for. According to Fleet One’s website,
its cards are accepted nationwide in USA at over 60,000 convenience stores and
7,100 truck stops as compared to GPS Insight’s fuel card which is accepted at
45,000 stores. With more available kiosk stations in collaboration with Fleet
One, drivers would be able to seek maintenance faster which in turn increases
the company’s efficiency, productivity and income by reducing time on searching
for appropriate services. Therefore, in the case of convenience, Fleet One has
been proven its stand.
For the above reasons, I feel that Fleet One is
worth the try, as it stands out among their competitor by providing additional
features.
