Webinar: How To Find And Remarket Your Surplus Vehicles Without The Pain Coming September 25. Register today!
New technology has now entered the industry that make outdated mileage standards and cumbersome logbook audits obsolete. Fleet Managers can now affordably identify vehicle under-use particularly in car vehicle fleets and reduce vehicle counts with no loss of service quality. This webinar, How to Find and Remarket Your Surplus Vehicles Without the Pain, highlights temporary GPS based Fleet Utilization Audits, the Change Management traps, how to select the best vehicles to remarket, and best venues and services providers to help you maximize your returns.  About the Instructors: Derrick Bishop is the Managing Director and Founder of Bishop Fleet Optimization (BFO), a multi-national company and trusted world leader in Vehicle Fleet Utilization Audits. BFO has offices in Australia, New Zealand, and the U.S.Bishop graduated University with Honors and a triple major in Stock Market Finance, Operations Management, and Marketing. He also has expertise in Executive Management Consulting, IT, Banking, Police, Health Management, Procurement, and Electronics Circuit Design. Bishop is internationally published on Stock Market investment. In 1996, Bishop was asked to project manage a logbook-based vehicle utilization audit and soon discovered there were problems. Vehicle logbook data was clearly being altered or omitted by client staff to invalidate the findings. Mileage analysis was no use either as it ignored the key decision factors required to size a fleet. "There had to be a better way". Global positioning system [GPS] technology was the answer but no off-the-shelf system was available and the GPS pricing models were not appropriate for fleet right-size projects. In response, Bishop designed the purpose-built M-VOS GPS hardware and supporting QueryBuilder analysis technology. The technology finally bridges the gap between telematics and vehicle fleet right-size audits. Governments now rely on this technology to save tens of millions in fleet costs with no loss of service delivery capability.
