FLEETDRIVE
Feedback and general observations have been
that many tyre outlets had closed or reduced
operating hours depending on the specific state
and location. As the enormity of the COVID-19
pandemic unfolded, Tyrepower remained, in
the main, fully operational as a business. Stores
readily adapted to the changing landscape and
statutory state and federal requirements which
greatly assisted FMO’s and fleet customers alike.
Such as collecting vehicles, dropping off vehicles
thereby minimising social interaction.
The Tyrepower model is based on having an
extensive range of manufacturers products,
competitive pricing and exemplary level of
service, which customers have responded to
extremely favourably during the pandemic.
As not all manufacturer stock levels have
been plentiful with manufacturing plants and
distribution centres being disrupted, our
range has ensured customers have not been
disadvantaged in having to wait for orders to be
filled. Having an excellent ‘footprint’ nationally in
all states and territories, with Tyrepower stores
remaining open, ensured we assisted many
novated customers while working from home,
not for profit organisations, essential services,
mining, and construction organisations.
Our centralised approach affording FMO’s
and fleet customers alike, the ability to access
and utilise all stores nationally under a ‘single
platform’, has provided customers with a level
of consistency and certainty in what could only
be described as extremely difficult and uncertain
times.
These uncertain times are likely to remain, and
what the ‘new’ normal will look like is the real
unknown. The likelihood that more people will
be working from home will certainly change
the vehicle fleet compositions in the future. The
ability to adapt to this change is the challenge
all businesses operating in the fleet industry
will experience. Tyrepower prides itself in its’
relationships with organisations to work with
them in adapting to the evolving changes ahead.
Tyrepower is constantly embarking upon growth
in terms of greenfield locations and existing
stores becoming a Tyrepower location. This
expansion will greatly enhance both the FMO
sector and the fleet customer. Location and
convenience are paramount to keeping vehicles
on the road, with minimum downtime.
We look forward to interesting times ahead
and welcome the opportunity to work with
organisations in all sectors within the fleet
industry.
