FlexFleet Rental’s Journey to Innovation and Growth with Salesforce

FlexFleet Rental, a prominent truck rental company managing over 8,000 vehicles across North America, faced significant operational challenges due to outdated systems and manual processes. Under the leadership of Chief Technology Officer, Parker Spendlove, the company partnered with SaltClick to implement Salesforce solutions, aiming to streamline operations, enhance customer satisfaction, and drive growth.

“Our company runs on analytics. With SaltClick, we’ve built a strong foundation that has completely transformed how we operate. The work we’ve done with them has made us 100% a different company than we were four years ago, and now we’re focused on growing and expanding even further.”

Challenge

FlexFleet's reliance on sprawling spreadsheets and an underperforming ERP platform led to operational bottlenecks, data management issues, and even instances of lost trucks. Despite having Salesforce, its potential remained untapped, leaving critical functions like vehicle management and customer service dependent on manual processes. These inefficiencies hindered the company's ability to scale and improve service quality.

Solution

To address these challenges, FlexFleet collaborated with SaltClick to introduce the Fleet-Smart module, an authenticated Experience Cloud site powered by Salesforce. This solution replaced outdated technologies, integrating features such as driver management, real-time speeding alerts, and vehicle telematics dashboards. These innovations empowered fleet managers with data-driven insights, promoting responsible driving and efficient fleet management.

“SaltClick became an extension of our team. Their consultants brought innovative ideas and strategic insights that completely transformed how we operate.”
