Companies in the commercial equipment leasing and finance industry are evaluating their workflow, identifying their bottlenecks or weakest links, and taking the necessary steps to improve efficiencies. Every company has bottlenecks and, left unattended, these obstacles fester and become energy drains, deal killers, or profit eliminators.

Wheeler Business Consulting works with clients to identify challenges and implement solutions. By dissecting internal processes and individual skill sets it is often discovered that outdated processes are diminishing outcomes and productivity within the sales and operations departments. Many processes are duplicated by different departments or by automated systems and human assets. Checks and balances were implemented years ago for security purposes; however, overly redundant processes with manual exception options can actually cause greater security risk. Bottlenecks can be eliminated by understanding why certain procedures were originally implemented, how they interconnect with other processes, and what outcomes are delivered by each process.

Efficiencies are often associated with faster decision-making processes. Timing is important, but efficiencies are actually about making "better" decisions in a timely matter. Efficiencies are about connecting upfront decisions (what companies are being prospected, what are the credit criteria for approval) with back-end results (portfolio performance). A company's long-term sustainability is directly influenced by a management team's ability to implement efficiencies at every stage of the process, connecting the dots between departments, having a processing strategy that flows smoothly, and by eliminating bottlenecks.
