THE CHALLENGE

HVAC Contractor, Haven Home, was spending a considerable amount of time managing its aging vehicles. Maintenance and fuel costs were increasing annually, which was unsustainable as the business continued to grow.

The Solution

Haven Home and Enterprise Fleet Management evaluated the fleet and realized the benefits of acquiring a more uniformed fleet, which would save time and money with a proactive purchase and resale approach. Haven Home customized the new vehicles to fit their service needs and offered employees safer vehicles.

THE RESULTS

Haven Home has a more unified fleet, it went from owning seven different types of cargo vans down to four. By right-fitting the fleet, Haven Home has saved more than $150,000 in vehicle acquisition costs. Operating newer vehicles has reduced annual maintenance expenses by $18,000 and significantly reduced maintenance downtime. Home Haven has lowered their annual fuel spend by $1,400 per unit since the onset of the partnership. The company spends less time managing its fleet and more time focusing on its customers.

Enterprise Fleet was able to demonstrate how vehicles end up costing more money as they get older, a concept we never really stopped to think about... but makes perfect sense. It’s so convenient to have the Enterprise Fleet Management team supporting our fleet and recommending when it’s time to sell our vehicles. They coordinate everything, which is so helpful. Plus, our fleet looks new and we have massively reduced our employee’s concerns of a possible unexpected breakdown while traveling to and from their jobs!
