The Challenges
In 2023, when DOT Compliance Group engaged Fleet Movers 360 for business & technology consultancy, Fleet Movers 360 identified challenges in the company’s current setup, encompassing business processes, revenue, profit loss, and technology infrastructure; these were:
Stagnant Growth due to High-Cost In-House Team
DOT Compliance Group employed over 100 in-house technology, sales, marketing, and operations team members, incurring high costs with W2 and 1099 contracts, 401K insurance, and fixed overhead expenses. This setup led to a low Return on Investment (ROI) and lower savings for strategic investments into business growth.
Minimal Lead Generation due to Weak Online Presence
Despite years of industry experience and thousands of customers, DOT Compliance Group lacked a strong digital presence, resulting in lower lead generation and customer retention. The in-house team lacked a cohesive brand and marketing strategy to generate leads.
Inefficient Business Processes
Almost zero automation of business processes resulted in inefficiency and delays. The lack of data collection and analysis made it challenging to make informed business decisions.
Customer Loss due to Obsolete Training Content
The training and website content lacked a modern touch, failing to be interactive and convincing enough to retain customers.
Revenue Loss due to Inefficient Technology Infrastructure
With over 700,000 records in 2015, the legacy system was growing fast, and the server infrastructure struggled to handle daily loads, leading to system and database crashes. This frequent unavailability caused business loss and hindered innovation and scalability. The increasing in-house cost of software development compounded the problem.
