The
most effective managers and executives recognize that selective
outsourcing can actually reduce costs and improve productivity.
When you compare the cost of engaging Sokolis Group with the fuel savings you can achieve, it all adds up to more profits for your company and an affirmation of your innovative leadership. Here is how we handle your account.
Strategic Approach
Every successful business has one thing in common - good planning. That's why strategic planning is the foundation of everything we do. At Sokolis Group we make it our business to understand your business - from its current processes and preferences to its short and long term goals.
Only after we have gained a thorough understanding of where you are and where you want to be, can we begin to build strategic fuel management plans tailored to your specific business needs and objectives.
The key components of our fuel management approach include:
Assessment
There is no one-size-fits-all solution to the fuel related challenges facing businesses. That's why Sokolis Group does not sell cookie-cutter solutions. At the onset of our relationship we will evaluate:
- Purchase process and pricing
- Vendors and contracts
- Fueling process, frequency and locations
- Expenses - including fuel-related labor costs
- Tracking and monitoring capabilities
- Back-office procedures
- Technology
- Invoice checks and balances
Through careful assessment we identify strengths we can build on and opportunities for improvement. The assessment process lays the groundwork for the planning process to come.
Project Planning
During the project planning stage we partner with you to establish your overall program strategy and set a course for forward progress. It is during this phase that we make specific recommendations and begin developing strategic and tactical blueprints. As part of the project planning process we will:
- Set program priorities
- Develop the service plan design
- Quantify service plan specifications
- Develop plan time lines
- Recommend service partners
- Facilitate service partner discussions
Once the overall strategy and project plans are in place we work closely with you to ensure a smooth and timely implementation.
Program Implementation
Sokolis Group works with you in a very hands-on manner to get your plan implemented as expeditiously as possible. We partner with you and your team to ensure seamless integration of the fuel acquisition, delivery and back-office strategies that have been crafted.
We have relationships with scores of vendors that we can leverage to get you the best possible terms. And we manage vendors closely to ensure consistent, high quality service and competitive pricing.
Ongoing support
Once your program is up and running your dedicated Sokolis Group support team will continue to provide ongoing support. You will have the peace of mind of knowing that someone is keeping tabs on your fuel program - leaving you more time to focus on your core business initiatives. As a Sokolis Group client you will receive:
- Continuous fuel program monitoring, auditing and reporting
- Timely communication of program issues
- Periodic program reviews and refinements
- Dependable and accessible day to day service
