    Elija socios financieros que se adapten a los tiempos del mercado. El acceso ágil a financiamiento puede marcar la diferencia entre una entrega tardía y una oportuna. Esto te asegura recibir vehículos en los plazos acordados. Con soluciones como arrendamiento financiero, puro y/o crédito simple, ayuda a que las empresas mantengan el flujo de capital necesario para cerrar operaciones rápidamente.

    To address delays in vehicle delivery for fleet expansion, establish strong supplier relationships with clear communication about timelines and penalties for delays. Diversify suppliers to reduce dependency on one source and negotiate priority delivery. Monitor production progress regularly and use contingency planning, such as leasing vehicles temporarily. Streamline internal processes like registrations and permits to ensure quick deployment once vehicles arrive. Proactive communication and flexibility are key to minimizing disruptions.
