Laying the Foundation for Success
Horizon Forest Products, a home improvement and hardware company based in Raleigh, NC, brings more than 75 years of expertise to the hardwood flooring industry. With a fleet of 200 trucks, the company serves customers across the East Coast and Texas, offering a comprehensive inventory of flooring products, equipment, and accessories. However, as the company expanded, they faced persistent challenges with their previous fleet card provider, including minimal savings, poor customer service, and difficulty accessing reporting. When Kristina, their fleet manager, began evaluating alternative solutions, Guttman Energy seized the opportunity to step in and provide a better option.
A Customized Approach to Build Trust
In July 2024, a Guttman Energy Fleet Solutions Sales Representative reached out to Horizon Forest Products to present a solution to their fleet management challenges. Through a series of meetings, Guttman Energy demonstrated how their fleet fuel card could address Horizon’s pain points. By analyzing a month’s worth of fuel transactions and reviewing the data in person, Guttman Energy clearly showed the significant savings and operational efficiencies they could offer. This transparent and data-driven approach earned Kristina’s trust and made Guttman the clear choice for Horizon Forest Products’ growing fleet.
Results that Make a Difference
Since implementing the Guttman Energy Fleet Fuel Card, Horizon Forest Products has seen significant improvements in both cost savings and operational ease. The company is now saving more than $30,000 annually, thanks to better discounts and more streamlined reporting processes. Additionally, Guttman Energy’s quick and responsive customer service has made a lasting impression. As Kristina shared, “You’re always so quick to respond to my messages and help me with anything.” With these results, Horizon Forest Products can continue to focus on growth and delivering exceptional service to their customers while knowing that their fuel management is in expert hands.
