Fleet Vendor Selection और Supplier Contract Misalignment
Definition
Fleet managers negotiate with fuel suppliers and maintenance vendors without performance visibility. Manual vendor evaluation (quotes only) misses actual operational costs (fuel quality impact on consumption, maintenance rework rate, spare parts quality). Under-leveraged telematics data prevents fact-based vendor scoring. Mis-selected vendors lead to excess fuel consumption, high maintenance costs, and poor service response times.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: ₹1-3 lakh annually per fleet account in excess costs from vendor misselection (fuel inefficiency 2-5% × fuel spend + maintenance rework 5-10% × maintenance budget); 5-10 hours/month in vendor performance troubleshooting
- Frequency: Vendor contract cycles (annual/bi-annual); continuous leakage during contract term
- Root Cause: Lack of telematics integration for vendor performance tracking, manual vendor evaluation criteria, no KPI-linked pricing in vendor contracts, siloed data between operations and procurement teams
