Solutions for vehicle fleet management companies

Our fleet management services ensure drivers are always mobile

Vehicle fleet management companies face major operational challenges. Achieving their objectives is often not easy. Fleet managers have the daunting task of reducing repair and administrative costs, while at the same time increasing vehicle service life – and improving driver safety and user experience, as well. This is why fleet managers juggle countless duties in their day-to-day operations. Personally communicating with drivers and supporting them are often particularly time-intensive tasks. Fleet managers coordinate vehicle maintenance and repairs – scheduled and unscheduled – and deal with all the demands of accident management. Bosch Service Solutions take the load off fleet management firms in decisive ways. We take charge of handling many of these activities and personally communicating with your customers – enabling you to offer your customers a complete and comprehensive mobility package.

Without Bosch Service Solutions...

... fleet managers often feel stressed out. After all, they get countless queries and requests from drivers whose vehicles don't run like they should. When accidents happen, they have to coordinate claim processing with insurers, set up repair appointments with service workshops, and find replacement vehicles for the drivers affected. The number of such cases that fleet managers have to deal with rises in proportion with the number of vehicles in the company’s fleet. What’s more, they also have to manage the procurement of new vehicles and always ensure compliance with the pertinent statutory requirements, data protection and privacy regulations, and contractual obligations. Yet, such strategic duties often get neglected because fleet managers are constantly having to act as emergency responders to resolve acute problems. The vital thing is to keep the vehicles running: downtime costs money.

With Bosch Service Solutions...

… the routine work loads on fleet managers are significantly reduced. Because Bosch Service Solutions take charge of everything involved with scheduled and unscheduled vehicle downtimes. We maintain the direct contact with the drivers. Our employees take charge of damage and claims management from A to Z, speak with the end-customers, set up maintenance and repair appointments, and process claims cases with the insurers and leasing firms right through to resolution. This lets fleet managers focus on more important activities – such as organizing ordering processes, or onboarding and offboarding fleet vehicles.
