From the start of Water Corporation’s tender process in August 2018, through to the live event as our fleet management provider in December 2020, Summit Fleet ensured at each stage of the implementation process clear and concise communications were maintained and expectations qualified to ensure a successful outcome to the project. With a combined state-wide asset base in excess of 2,600 individual items covering vehicles, marine craft, plant, and equipment, Summit Fleet delivered a seamless transition with minimal impact to our business. One aspect for Water Corporation which made our implementation both efficient and delivered within planned timescales, was Summit Fleet’s ability to customise their systems to integrate with the data, systems, and reporting of Water Corporation, across our 21 individual business divisions as part of one implementation.

Having worked with the team at Summit Fleet Leasing and Management from March 2020 on a new fleet of vehicles, I have only ever been impressed by their professional approach to our business, and the level of communication received from them.  The attention to detail and commitment to ensuring the most comprehensive information is provided at each interaction, is totally reassuring of our decision to use the services of Summit Fleet.  Our internal teams have only spoken highly of the Summit Fleet team, and the fact that they can provide services covering all aspects of fleet leasing, allows us to pick a car, drive it and leave the rest to Summit Fleet.

When the time came for Kannegiesser Australia to start looking at changing our vehicle lease service provider, we approached 3 different Fleet Management Organisations. One company never returned our enquiry and the other never followed up. We were then contacted by Bree Allen from Summit Fleet who discussed with us our fleet service requirements and presented a solution using the Summit Fleet reporting suite and fleet analysis tools. We were hooked from there. When we requested comparative quotes for vehicles, Bree was able to present a clear and concise solution – even offering cost-effective alternatives. We have since moved all our vehicle lease expiry/replacements to Summit Fleet and will continue to do so. Our business in Australia is growing and I can see Summit Fleet as a Business Partner to Kannegiesser Australia, not just a service provider.

- Peter Furnell, Managing Director, Kannegiesser Australia Pty Ltd

Sumitomo (SHI) Hansen have been partnered with Summit Fleet Leasing and Management since 2001 and in that period have developed a very strong relationship. Even though we may be considered a small fleet compared to other national companies, our fleet of vehicles is spread out all over Australia. As such, the tiniest detail is so very important when keeping a national sales force happy. Sarah Khalaf is our current Account Manager and her patience and care for our business is the difference between Summit and other fleet companies. Nothing is too big a problem for Sarah and we had a few curly ones this year. Her approach to resolving any issues is a personal one and will do everything possible with the support of the Summit team to ensure that our sales team continues to operate. I can’t recommend Summit highly enough for any business looking for a Fleet Vehicle Service.

My business has been growing the last few years, as has our team and the number of vehicles we needed. Corey and Summit Fleet were able to show me a better way to source, build and manage my fleet of vehicles, that has saved me time and money and allowed me to focus more on my business and my key customers. What was previously a time consuming process of sourcing, building and running our vehicle fleet, is changing into a more efficient and better way of doing business for us.

Running a growing national business in the Emergency Response Industry from a Head Office in WA requires considerable time and effort. By partnering with Summit Fleet in 2018, we have been able to take advantage their knowledge, experience and personalised approach to achieve a better and more efficient outcome for FRSA in the leasing and management of our vehicles. Summit took time out to get to know us and our business and recommend a strategy of vehicle fleet management that works well for us. We look forward to continuing to grow our relationship with Summit Fleet in the years ahead.

- Gary Ashwood, Managing Director, Fire Rescue Safety Australia

In 2017 it was apparent that our operation was lacking the support of our field team due to them having to supply their own vehicles. An immediate fix was required for this and upon searching for a fleet partner to help us grow our business, Summit Fleet stood out from the pack. Breehan was able to find a solution that worked for us in every way. She and Summit Fleet were patient with us as we moved through making many other decisions in our business and when it was time to get the fleet implemented, it could not have been done in a more professional way. The Summit Fleet team are polite, professional, market leaders. Importantly they spend a lot of time understanding our business and how they could assist us with our mobility requirements. Our business has seen huge growth in the last 13 months and part of this is certainly attributable to our great working partnership with Summit Fleet.

- Cameron Louis, Managing Director, Aruze Gaming Australia

Achieve Australia embarked on an exercise in early 2015 to better understand how to leverage our motor vehicle assets which are an essential asset used in delivery of services. Ultimately, Summit Fleet understood our needs and provided a comprehensive solution that included considerable saving in fleet management costs together with a sales and leaseback option, full management of our fleet and forecasting future needs.

Summit Fleet also provides a dedicated account manager who is readily available to answer questions and is also committed to a hands-on approach in delivering on expectations and assist with further vehicle asset strategy. Summit Fleet delivers other resources from time-to-time to assist with bulk rollouts of new vehicles; reporting; data analytics through their BI Platform and ‘GPS Telematics’ which provides further information in managing the fleet, whilst ensuring the safety of our drivers and clients.

I would not hesitate in recommending Summit Fleet for your fleet management requirements and with the knowledge and support of Ben Dodd, Corporate Relationship Manager; Sarah Khalaf and Bianca Templin, Business Administrators and Breehan Allen, Business Development Executive, you will be in good hands.

- Mark Audet, Chief Financial Officer, Achieve Australia

Summit Fleet have been exceptional in the management and transition of our fleet to their service. They have assisted from the outset in offering flexible tailored solutions which given the complexities of our owned cars and cars provided by other fleet companies was in itself very helpful to our business.

Nothing was too much of a problem and in a relatively short period of around seven months we are fully operational with a fleet service our staff are very happy with. Delivery of vehicles, pricing, service and analysis of our fleet behaviour through Summit Analytics has provided information, even at the seven month stage of operations that has benefited our fleet fourfold.

Sue McLean and Kerri Gordon were our main contacts through the whole process. Their whole approach to Customer service, tailored solutions and genuine interest in providing what we as a company needed. This was welcomed by the tender team as it moved away from the traditional hard sell of ‘this is what you need’ approach to ‘how can we give you what your company needs’, such a refreshing approach and ultimately, along with competitive pricing what won them the tender.

An exceptional company, not the biggest on the circuit but from Key Assets perspective a provider of choice for our fleet business. Well done Summit Fleet!

- Mick Austin, Fleet Director, Key Assets

Challenge has grown to twice its size and doubled its fleet and Summit Fleet has been a great corporate partner in enabling this transition to happen smoothly.

Having dealt with Summit Fleet since 2009, I am aware of the growth they have experienced since that time and that growth has not compromised the professional approach or the service provided.
