Building Trust in a Complex Fleet World
Read the extensive literature on team effectiveness, or talk to people on teams in sports, business or elsewhere, and it always comes down to this: Trust is the fundamental element of every winning team.

Our way of building a winning team begins with ARI account management personnel gaining the trust of clients through the successful delivery of promised performance. ARI is in the business of solving complex fleet problems, and we succeed only if our clients are successful. This belief is the cornerstone of our business and the working mindset of employees at all levels.

We earn client trust through consistently superior personal service and unwavering commitment to their success.
We always:

 
  • Put the client’s interest ahead of our own. This means we deliver more value than expected. Every day we work proactively to understand the client's business, company and role of its vehicles, all of which helps us optimize the use and value of fleet assets and exceed the customer's expectations.

  • Remain accessible. Clients never get bounced from department to department or have to work through a maze of people for help. One call, and the client gets the help he or she needs.

  • Orchestrate a lifecycle approach to asset management. ARI's approach encompasses the entire supply chain from vehicle sourcing to remarketing, delivering optimum fleet performance at the lowest overall cost.

  • Provide single-source accountability. It's the thread that ties our support activities together. We take full responsibility for every aspect of day-to-day fleet management from start-up to full implementation of fleet, vehicle and driver services. This enables clients to stay focused on the company's business.
  • Tell the truth as we see it. Through our client partnerships, we are able to collaborate and create solutions together. Yet we remain independent and sometimes disagree. We have the creativity to invent—and the courage to champion—unconventional solutions to complex problems. This uncommon combination of client advocacy and consulting independence is an important ARI quality that distinguishes us as an industry leader.
 
  • Deliver the best of ARI. In every transaction, we support customers as effectively and cost-effectively as we can. The individuals delivering that service are encouraged to view and treat the client's resources as if their own resources were at stake.

Service Thinking: ARI's Approach to Business. Service to customers always starts with good intentions. But sometimes it ends there because a company may be able to provide only what it has or can do, rather than what the customer really wants, needs and asks for.

There’s nothing simple about solving today's fleet problems. It requires the industry's best talent, and the best talent is drawn to the industry's toughest problems. Our account management teams welcome that challenge. Knowledgeable, experienced and highly successful at building fleet value, they are ARI's most important asset.
