As the
fleet portion of the business grows, so does your dependence on it.
For example, if 50 percent of business consisted of two
fleet operators and one defected, total sales would drop by 25 percent. Ouch!
So, my advice would be to develop an alliance with a company whose product is capable of bring credibility to drive user-ship of your services and sales transactions.
For example,
fleet operators require data tracking, reporting and auditing. Being able to aggregate and communicate this information is invaluable to forming business partnerships.
Moreover, the industry is now barely growing and equipment spending remains at consolidation levels.
So, what is the likelihood the company you are considering to use is going to be in business in three or four years?
Will the company you choose have capability to upgrade equipment to accept mobile payment?
Etc.
