With dynamic market trends and changing economic landscapes, remaining competitive demands flexibility. Today, more than ever, manufacturers are looking to access the latest innovations in equipment without tying up lines of credit or the risks usually associated with raising funds. Instead, they want flexible solutions that allow them to lease the equipment and technology they need, without owning it outright. At DLL, this is exactly how we help.With more than EURO 30 billion in assets, DLL partners with equipment manufacturers, dealers, distributors, and end-users in more than 30 countries to support their distribution channels and help grow their businesses.As a Fleet Solutions Account Manager for the Americas, I work directly with our end-users and partners to drive down the total cost of operation by offering flexible usage-based financing agreements that allow them to access the latest equipment with no upfront outlay and flexible repayment terms.Recent research carried out by DLL, found that 89% of leasing agreements are improperly structured, costing companies between $50-300k per year in overpayments.The main cause was fluctuating usage. Because of this, we introduced our flexible pay-per-use solutions that allow manufacturers to modify leasing terms according to usage, and benefit from reduced rates on lease extensions for under-utilized equipment.A popular saying at DLL is "What you don’t measure, you’re not managing it."Using our cloud-based global online fleet management tools Fleet Managers can access live information in a centralized, secure location allowing them to predict when equipment may become faulty and when is the best time to replace it is.By analysing the data, Fleet Managers can optimize their international equipment portfolio and deliver real-savings – savings that improve operational efficiency and thereby go straight to the bottom line. Our Global Leasing Agreements also means that Fleet Managers can manage leased equipment at all its locations with one centralised leasing agreement.For me, what I love most about DLL is our commitment to creating the right funding options for each individual business so that they can thrive. If you’re a Fleet Manager concerned about overpaying for equipment and would like to deliver real savings by improving your operational efficiency, I invite you to get in touch. I’ll be happy to review your existing leasing agreements and introduce you to our asset-management tools. Let’s connect.
