Many fleet managers know how high their fleet costs are – but far fewer know whether these costs are competitive in the market. This is exactly where professional benchmarking comes in. It provides an objective assessment of your own fleet figures in comparison with similar companies, vehicle segments and usage profiles.
The comparison provides clarity
Benchmarking systematically analyses where a fleet deviates from market standards: in terms of leasing rates, service and maintenance costs, terms, residual value assumptions or costs per kilometre. The total cost of ownership (TCO) serves merely as a structuring framework – the decisive factor is the comparison with reliable market data.
procorp is a leader in this field: through its annual tendering process for numerous vehicle fleets, procorp has first-hand knowledge of current market prices and trends. This database enables the creation of benchmarks that are truly reliable and identify specific areas for optimisation.
Especially in a market with high vehicle prices, rising interest rates and increasing electrification, benchmarking can reveal savings of 10–20% per vehicle – often without this being recognised internally.
Sound benchmarking enables fleet managers to:
- realistically assess their own cost position
- identify specific areas for optimisation
- make fact-based decisions on tenders
- present stronger arguments to management and suppliers
Conclusion
If you want to actively manage your fleet, you need transparency about your own market position. Benchmarking creates this transparency – and procorp provides the data-based foundation for it.
