20 Years Of Driveline

By Lance Manins | Driveline | 29 September 2021 | Posted in Uncategorized

20 Years Of Driveline in the lease and finance market is celebrated this month which is a significant milestone, especially considering the many challenges for the finance industry over the last 10 years.

The One Stop Shop Philosophy

Our One Stop Shop philosophy is a proven business model and a true win-win for clients and Driveline.

Having kicked off from humble beginnings as a one man band out of a humble serviced office in downtown Newmarket in 2001 and growing into a nationwide business with representatives in key locations throughout New Zealand, it is an achievement we are proud of and we thank everyone who has supported us along the way.

The Driveline One Stop Shop philosophy is at the core of our success, and this has been borne out of a genuine desire to help the little guy get what the big guys have been getting for all these years along with all the benefits, efficiencies, savings and economies of scale they enjoy…

So what does that all mean ? we here you say …

The Big Guys Have Fleet Managers

Well they have economies of scale and a dedicated fleet team, or at least an individual who’s sole purpose in life is to make sure the fleet of vehicles they manage are running in the most efficient way possible. They ensure they are getting the best deals when it comes to buying vehicles by going to the market regularly, knowing where the best deals are, developing close long lasting relationships with suppliers , trusting those suppliers to give them great deals all the time, on time and having efficient inhouse reporting and fleet management systems. Hmmmmm, sounds familiar !

Its All About Experience And Years In The Industry

It is only through having years of experience in the industry, and as a result of buying thousands of vehicles, then developing hundreds of long term relationships, facing all the little challenges along the way with so many different types of clients that all this invaluable experience comes together for our team to become hugely successful and ultimately experienced Fleet Managers on behalf our clients, and guess what ? It costs our clients NOTHING ! and this team at Driveline will save you plenty ! its all part of the great service package on offer at Driveline.

All we ask is that our clients place a little bit of trust and faith with the team and entrust us with the entire One Stop Shop process of managing your vehicle purchasing, financing and Fleet Management requirements. Whether its 1 or 200 vehicles, big or small we love you all !

Let Us Do The Sword Fighting

The team at Driveline are experts with the sword and will do the fighting on the front line for you while you concentrate on what you do best which is running your business ! so let us get on with what we do best which is managing the purchasing, any of the fit out requirements ,then the best way to finance your next vehicle and then the on going and inevitable harassing of the dealers for an on time delivery of your next vehicle.

If you need some decent inhouse reporting then we have that covered as well with SmartFleet which is one of the most complete and up to date cloud based fleet management systems available in the market. For more information on SmartFleet then check it out HERE

On average each of our business managers have 19 years experience in the vehicle or finance industries and your opportunity is to take advantage of this experience and utilise it to the fullest !

Check out our Googles here for what some of our clients say about that experience !
