FLEETS SERVICES

With its worldwide coverage, Point S positions itself as a credible partner for international car or truck fleets which expect global solutions from their suppliers and service providers.

Thanks to its extensive worldwide coverage and recognised expertise in managing agreements with key accounts, Point S Development has established international agreements with major players in the market. The negotiations take place on two levels:

  • International level: Point S Development negotiates framework agreements with their key accounts’ international headquarters paving the way for national negotiations.
  • National level: assisted by PSD and backed by the framework agreement, the national headquarters negotiate cooperation arrangements for the given country with the key accounts’ local subsidiaries.

CAR FLEETS

Point S offers its expertise and experience to companies and leasing fleets for all types of vehicles (including vans and high class vehicles):

  • Multi-brand tyre supply
  • Tyre related services (balancing, alignment, TPMS, repair, etc.)

  • Complete fleet analysis

Point S affiliated countries have developed an Intranet network connecting all the local members to the national central management.

TESTIMONIES

What do our partners worldwide think about Point S?

  • Our volumes are –all things considered- small on a global scale. It is therefore essential, or even vital, for us to create alliances in order to preserve our profit margins through efficient negotiations. Our suppliers are present on a global scale and we can’t just stay local and adopt a very regional approach!

    Bruno Leclair, Point S Canada CEO

  • Since its creation in 1971 in France, Point S has always managed to strike the right balance between its member independence and a strong network policy. Point S has grown both in France and internationally not only as a purchasing group but also as a renowned brand recognised by our fleet customers and consumers, reflecting the values of professionalism and high quality service in our points of sale.

    Christophe Rollet, Point S Development Vice-President - Point S France Managing Director

  • Point S international contracts have helped to consolidate and facilitate our dealings with our supplier’s local representatives. The international support of Point S Development is both an additional tool for managing existing local partnerships and an opportunity for the diversification of our brand portfolio.]

    Marko Saarenpää, Point S Finland Managing Director

  • In South Africa the tire market is mainly steered by manufacturer controlled networks. Our group decided to adopt a new approach which consists in federating independently owned points of sale under a common banner. Through our partnership with Point S we have benefited from the image of a long term existing trademark and the credibility of an international network that shares the same values as ours.
