“If I had to summarise in a sentence what the most valuable part of working with Resources for Profit was, it would have to be their knowledge, and their ability to access parts of the industry reserved only for those in the know.” Garth Haffenden – General Manager Finance NSW Business Chamber

Resources for Profit and NSW Business Chamber have had a long successful working relationship. From the very first project they worked on together more than 5 years ago where Resources for Profit were able to substantially reduce the Chambers travel costs; to the overhaul that was conducted on the organisations telecommunication services, the value Resources for Profit has been able to provide the Chamber is invaluable.

The most recent project that the Chamber engaged Resources for Profit in was to provide advice and expertise regarding the management of the handover and renegotiation of Chambers 200 fleet cars based nationally.

Having been through the process themselves three years prior and acknowledging the complex set of circumstances it resulted in, Garth Haffenden – General Manager Finance NSW Business Chamber admits that although he has had some experience in the area, that without Resource for Profit it would have been impossible to achieve the same result and invest the same amount of time in the project as was required.

From the very beginning of the project where specific knowledge was critical to stakeholder management, to understanding the technologies available in the market which would add value to the organisation as a whole, Resources for Profit were integral in managing the needs of all involved in the project, as well as finding solutions that would future proof the organisation.

Specifically, Resources for Profit were able to assist with:

• Negotiation of the closing fleet contract
• Reduction of penalty fees applied by previous fleet company
• Assessment of use of current fleet cars
• Recommendations and negotiations for new fleet cars
• Recommendations for additional value added items for e.g. driver speed and safety monitors
• Complete project management – from placing orders for cars, to installing car signage, to delivering vehicles to staff regardless of location
• Reduction in smash repair costs due to driver speed and safety monitors
• Reduction in pure leasing costs
• Reduction in general insurance costs due to driver speed and safety monitors
• Ongoing monitoring and management of fleet

Most importantly, with Resources for Profit, its more than just getting the cheapest price (which they do; even with all the additional features and safety inclusions, Resources for profit were able to save NSW Business Chamber a minimum of $200 per month per lease) its more about looking at your individual situation and providing a solution that is going to add the maximum benefit to the organisation for the long term.

It’s for this reason that NSW Business Chamber wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Resources for Profit, and why they will continue to use them to improve the way their organisation operates.
