Brayman Construction Takes Advantage of Fleet Fuel Card Comparisons
Our Pittsburgh-based heavy moving customer, Brayman Construction, learned first-hand that not all fuel cards for fleets are created equal. This large company needed gas and diesel for their 100-vehicle fleet to travel to jobsites across the United States. Their previous fleet card provider was less than stellar when it came to securing any measurable benefits. After hitting some significant productivity snags and a fleet card comparison analysis, Brayman realized that Guttman’s fleet fuel card was the better fit for their large fleet, both in terms of savings and the company relationship. How does Guttman rise above the competition? Its’ not rocket science – it’s having the right solutions ready, right when your customers need them. Read on to see how we met the challenge of inefficient fueling and transformed it into smart solutions with our fueling intelligence.
Fleet Fueling Challenge
With their 100-vehicle fleet, costs were starting to add up. Brayman’s previous vendor was not helping to save or mitigate any costs – and the consequences were showing up in their budget.
Managing a fleet of this size requires diligence and grade A managing fuel purchases and card issues. However, long customer service response times significantly hindered progress both on the road and in the office.
When relaying information between various departments, seasoned and diligent logistical considerations were needed to facilitate reporting and manage projects. However, a lack of communication between Brayman and their previous card carrier led to misunderstandings and missed opportunities for the company.
When assessing their savings needs, missed opportunities, and lack of help in efficiently facilitating their fleet, Brayman realized their business was not running as optimal as it should. They needed more customized and intelligent service to keep their business running smoothly and reach maximum efficiency for their fleet.
Guttman Energy’s Solution
Brayman Construction approached Guttman Energy, hopeful that we may be able to bridge the gaps in both communication and in costs that they were facing with our smart solutions. To begin, we conducted face-to-face meetings to get to know the ins -and-outs of Brayman Construction needs and concerns and assess just what they were looking for in a fuel card vendor. By becoming well acquainted with their business, we were able to better serve them in a way that addressed all the complexities and concerns that arise in their business every day in a personalized manner.
After comparing their wishes to what Guttman has to offer, we decided on presenting Brayman with a custom fuel pricing program, allowing them to pay for the fuel that they want on their terms. To maximize communication and recording efforts within the business, Guttmann also produced Brayman-specific reports so that they knew exactly how their fuel was being used and provided suggestions on how Brayman could tweak these uses and their spending to operate as efficiently as possible. Rather than remaining distant regarding communication like the previous provider, we went above and beyond – and it paid off. Brayman Construction now receives fuel savings across the board, not just at specific site. As well, they now have their own dedicated sales representative who they contact directly for their account.
