Process of Cost Saving

Any successful cost saving project has 4 fundamental steps. 1: Build the baseline. 2: Identify the saving potential. 3: Implement the right strategy. 4: Follow-up & reiterate. OviDrive can support you with each of these steps individually or throughout the process. Our offering is flexible and modular, so you can tailor the solution most beneficial for you.

Phase 1

Build Baseline

TCO underestimated by 21%

  • Costs booked on different cost centers or GL codes
  • Unforeseen vendor charges (administrative costs, repair costs, items that are not included in your vendor agreements...)
  • Employee behavior related costs (fuel, costs due to negligence, un-repaired damages, fraud)
  • Employee expenses not conforming to policy (e.g. fuel expenses, convenience expenses…)
  • Vehicles either not reported or still in the reporting, even if they are no longer in use
Our Support

We start from our globally centralised data platform to understand the correct TCO. The system is cloud-based and can support you to identify costs with a click of a button. If you would like us to help you collect and manage the data, we can help with that as well. Click below to learn more about our data management services.

Follow-up & Take Action

Strategic & Tactical

Are you familiar with data timeframes? For strategic purposes, you will be comparing trends on a spread timeline, whilst for tactical purposes, data checks should be done quickly and in the smallest units. The appropriate data collection method and timing are essential :

Project Check (Strategic)
  • Measure performance of OPS model
  • Deployment of technology to measure
  • Costs
  • Savings
  • Asset Utilisation
  • Emissions
  • Verify policy & governance standards
  • Agree on gaps between KPIs and outcome
  • Formalise improvement projects
Reiterative Check (Tactical)
  • Part of daily operations
  • Utilisation of technology to monitor vehicles, data, cost and changes
  • Vendor management
  • Fuel & emission control
  • Employee satisfaction
Our Support

We can support you from a purely tactical level (daily operations), all the way up to strategic level (strategy design). Find out what is most suitable:
