A. Vehicle Procurement

1. Vehicle Selection

The vehicle selection process starts by identifying market needs through customer preference research and competitor analysis. This helps determine in-demand vehicle types, such as economy, luxury, and SUVs. Evaluations focus on aspects like fuel efficiency, safety features, and maintenance costs. A cost analysis calculates total ownership costs and resale value. Test drives and inspections ensure quality and reliability. Finally, a list of vehicles is finalized, detailing specifications for acquisition.

Economy	Compact cars, fuel-efficient	20
Standard	Mid-size cars, comfortable	15
SUV	Spacious, suitable for families	10
Luxury	High-end cars, premium features	5
Truck/Van	For cargo and group travel	10

2. Supplier Negotiations

Supplier negotiations begin by researching and shortlisting reputable suppliers who can meet company needs. Next, suppliers are evaluated based on pricing, terms, and delivery schedules. Detailed negotiations aim for cost efficiency and favorable conditions, leading to finalized contracts. Strong relationships and continuous communication ensure a smooth supply chain.

3. Fleet Acquisition

Fleet acquisition includes purchasing or leasing vehicles from a selected list. It starts with budget planning and securing financing, followed by placing orders with suppliers. Upon delivery, vehicles are inspected, registered, and documented. Lastly, they are entered into the fleet management system for tracking and maintenance.

B. Customer Service

1. Training

Training is vital for employee preparedness, starting with an initial phase that includes orientation, hands-on experience, and online modules. Orientation covers the company's mission and procedures, while on-the-job training offers practical experience. Formal sessions address customer service, safety, vehicle maintenance, and compliance. Regular and annual refreshers keep employees up-to-date.

2. Customer Support Systems

Effective customer support requires a dedicated, well-trained team, advanced CRM tools, multiple communication channels, and regular training sessions to ensure exceptional service.

3. Feedback Mechanisms

Effective feedback mechanisms are key for continuous improvement. Customers are urged to offer feedback via surveys, reviews, and direct contact, which is analyzed to pinpoint improvement areas. Regular employee feedback sessions address customer input to create action plans. Implementing changes boosts customer satisfaction and operational efficiency.

C. Marketing Strategy

1. Market Research

Marketing research collects and analyzes data on market trends, customer behavior, and competition. It begins with setting objectives and creating a research plan. Data is gathered via surveys, focus groups, and existing market analysis, and then analyzed to inform marketing strategies. This ongoing process helps the company stay ahead of trends and effectively target customers.

2. Marketing Campaigns

This involves setting objectives, identifying target audiences, crafting resonant messages, choosing channels like social media and digital ads, and monitoring performance for optimization. Post-campaign analysis measures effectiveness to improve future efforts.
