UNIONBANK parades its fleet management team.
Until recently, fleet management was limited to big conglomerates with massive fleet vehicles for their operations. But the trend has been catching up with companies of all sizes, from the local bakery with a few delivery vans to courier services that offer nationwide logistics solutions. Indeed, fleet management involves several moving parts.
Fleet management encourages efficiency, which is crucial in upscaling operations — increasing productivity while reducing expenses is crucial to keep business operations afloat. Using the correct fleet management tool can help businesses achieve these goals.
UnionBank is known for bringing digital banking innovations that immediately impact clients. On the back end of things, operational and technical innovations that ultimately benefit the clients are also what the bank constantly works on.
Union Bank of the Philippines (UnionBank) has tapped Globe Business for a partnership to help the bank make its vehicles more efficient. The partnership was made official through a contract signing ceremony last 16 November at the UnionBank Plaza in Pasig City.
"With our drive to 'Tech Up Pilipinas' and be an enabler of the Philippines' push to be a G20 country by 2050, we partnered with Globe Business to co-create innovations that are crucial to the success of our Digital Transformation Plan," shares Vincent Paul M. Castillo, Vice President, Cash Services Group Head. "Together, we innovated technology derived from our internal and external customers' unique experiences and perspectives."
As part of their partnership, UnionBank will utilize the wide range of fleet management solutions offered by Globe Business, powered by Globe's next-generation connectivity and expansive nationwide coverage enabled by its thousands of cell towers in strategic areas nationwide.
Among the benefits provided by the partnership are improved correspondence between UnionBank's vehicles and their communication centers, top-notch internet connectivity for each car for better use of relevant in-vehicle tools and apps, and more robust security measures to protect the vehicles and their operators, especially while on the road.
Ultimately, the partnership will help UnionBank serve its customers across different segments better while making it easier for its fleet personnel, as well as those who work in its bank branches being serviced by the vehicles, to perform their roles more effectively in line with UnionBank's goal of promoting inclusive prosperity in the country.
"We've always looked at UnionBank as very like-minded, and we've always been very proud about being able to provide solutions and partner constantly in being able to digitally transform and always be a step ahead of all digital banking initiatives in the Philippines," said Globe Business Vice President for Enterprise Sales Tanya Gil-Padilla.
"This solution will ensure productivity, save fuel costs, and offer fleet management efficiency," said UnionBank's Chief Security Officer and Head of Security Management Group, retired RAdm. Rommel Galang. "In line with the desire to deliver innovative solutions, we stand firm with the Bank's promises to power the future of banking through innovation."
