Automated Fleet Management Systems' Bottom-Line Benefits
Agile Fleet
Automate your fleet processes with our fleet management information system. Motor pool, maintenance, fuel, risk, GPS.
In this message:
While automation makes motor pool operations more efficient and effective, fleet managers need to clearly articulate a solid focus on the significant return on investment when making the case to purchase a FMIS. The following real-world examples illustrate some of the various ways automating a motor pool operation reduces costs and rapidly returns the cost for implementing a new system.
Forsyth County, NC
Forsyth County had a goal of saving $300,000 through right-sizing its fleet by automating its operations with Agile Fleet’s FleetCommander. These savings were realized almost immediately. The motor pool realized a capital expenditure savings of over $800,000 from eliminating the need to replace vehicles and has also cut its personal vehicle reimbursement costs?from $125,000 to $57,000.?
Vassar College
Vassar College has been able to?increase the amount it is billing to its internal customers by 30%?thanks to the ability to better measure vehicle mileage, by implementing FleetCommander.?
Prince George’s County, MD
Prince George’s County has added a second motor pool, and thanks to implementing FleetCommander and automating its systems, it is now more sustainable and effective —?eliminating 12 gasoline vehicles?and adding more efficient plug-in hybrids in their place. Even though the motor pool fleet has been reduced, it hasn’t impacted its ability to serve its customers.?
Cornell University
After implementing FleetCommander and right-sizing its fleet, Cornell University strategically uses other resources such as rentals —?to fill gaps in vehicle classes?during high demand instead of investing and maintaining a vehicle that is used in a very limited capacity.?
The City of Norfolk, VA
After launching its FMIS, the City of Norfolk, Va., was able to recommend?eliminating five of 12 vehicles?and reassign the rest to departments that needed vehicles. Eliminating underused vehicles has enabled the city fleet to purchase six new alternative-fuel vehicles for the motor pool, and greatly reducing fuel consumption and costs.?
Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD)
Sacramento Municipal Utility District, the nation’s sixth largest public utility, automated its fleet management and?reduced the size of its motor pool by 30%?while greatly improving service to its fleet drivers. When SMUD started the process of searching for a FMIS, they said they sought a solution that “provides optimum vehicle utilization, scheduling, vehicle reassignments and peak demand statistical information for pool type vehicles.” SMUD was also looking for a solution that offered secure and automated key pick-up and drop-off capabilities, as well as being able to accept online reservation requests, deliver reservation notices, and to maintain user and vehicle profiles.?
The City of Stamford, CT
The City of Stamford slashed its motor pool fleet from 80 to 29 vehicles by automating its motor pool management system. The City projects a?5-year cost savings of more than $1 million?by establishing a shared vehicle program, reducing unneeded vehicles, and eliminating associated costs such a maintenance, insurance, and replacement costs.?

Commonwealth of Kentucky
The Kentucky General Administration and Program Support (GAPS) sought to implement fleet management technology because it was looking for an efficient way to manage the approximately 1,400 vehicle assets used by the Kentucky Cabinets for Energy, Environment and Public Protection (EEC PPC). In the past, the organization used white boards and paper forms to keep track of fuel purchases, work orders, vehicle reservations, policy enforcement, and other information. Since implementing FleetCommander fleet and motor pool software in 2010, the?EEC PPC has made significant strides in efficiency.?
Indiana University
Indiana University has excelled at customer service, making renting a vehicle at the motor pool an easy and a pleasurable experience. A good FMIS should help to keep a pulse on customer service. They stated their fleet used the feedback tool within Agile Fleet’s FleetCommander. Indiana University operated a motor pool, then decided to outsource it. Service declined greatly and costs increased, so it was decided that the in-house motor pool would be reinstated. One of the ways the university made the new motor pool so successful was by?delivering outstanding customer service.
