Donlen has enhanced the functionality and user interface for its next generation Vehicle Optimization Model (VOM), so it simplifies vehicle selection and cycling decisions, the fleet management company announced.
"Donlen's new and improved Vehicle Optimization Model provides our customers with the ability to change a variety of input parameters to enable powerful what-if scenario analysis comparing the total cost of ownership of a wide variety of vehicle selection options," said Amy Blaine, Donlen's vice president of consulting, analytics, and sustainability.
The improved user interface makes interpreting and presenting results of vehicle comparisons much easier and impactful. Donlen has also included new functionality, such as the ability to customize financial parameters to reflect your scenario, select multiple vehicles, and export full reports so fleet professionals can make informed decisions when selecting vehicles for their fleet.
"The precise analysis available through the VOM makes the vehicle selection process faster and provides the full picture of the cost of a vehicle, empowering users of the tool to make more cost-effective decisions," Blaine said. "With the VOM, fleet professionals can select vehicles with the best TCO, as well as discover the appropriate time to cycle vehicles to reduce their costs."
