In a climate of persistent inflation, unpredictable tariffs and relentless cost pressure, “we’ve always done it this way” is the most expensive sentence in fleet management. If you’re already leasing, you’ve made a smart move—but chances are you’re still losing commercial tension on every vehicle.
At Fleet Alliance, we see it every day: fleets locked into single-funder agreements that looked fine on paper last year but are quietly out of step with today’s market. Here’s why that status quo is costing you—and how a competitive tendering model can put the savings straight back on your P&L.
Most businesses negotiate once, sign with a preferred funder and assume they’re covered. Trouble is, lease pricing shifts monthly with funder appetite and residual forecasts. If you aren’t checking each order against the market, you’re paying a premium—full stop.
What Does That Mean in Practice?
A 15-minute side-by-side comparison is usually all it takes to reveal how much money you’re leaving on the table. If you want to see our tendering engine in action—or walk through the e-Fleet dashboard—drop us a line. We’ll show you exactly where the savings are hiding, and how soon they can hit your bottom line.
Because in 2025, “good enough” isn’t good enough—and your fleet deserves better.
