As the fleet world continues to expand and evolve, GM is gearing up for a new way to help customers streamline their operations while meeting environmental goals and working toward improved driver safety. Enter GM Envolve, a one-stop customer experience, designed with input from customers and dealers to make it easier to tap into all of GM's products and services.

At GM's annual Fleet Solutions Summit, Steve Carlisle, president, GM North America, introduced GM Envolve to an audience of nearly 850 business customers and dealers, noting that GM Fleet is being reimagined as a one-stop business-to-business/business-to-government (B2B/B2G) partner.

"Today begins the GM Envolve journey, where we will bring our customers in to create tailored solutions to meet their unique business challenges."

GM Making Strides in U.S. Fleet and Commercial Sales

GM Fleet acheived its best first quarter of commercial fleet sales since 2006, according to the automotive manufacturing company. Now the company is ready to push forward with the creation of this new business unit. 

GM Envolve was created with the goal to prepare customers to stay ahead of change through a streamlined set of products and services tailored to their business' current and future needs. Through this approach, GM expects to gain operating efficiencies and create more revenue-generating opportunities with current and future customers.

Simplifying the Experience with a Single Sales Touchpoint

Customers will have access to the connected GM ecosystem through a single account executive. This single sales touchpoint is meant to simplify the purchasing experience and function as an extension of the customer's team. In turn, this is expected to bring in new energy and ideas while problem-solving with a holistic mindset.

Account executives will be backed by a team of experts to help identify and curate a package of GM's technologies and solutions for each customer's business. GM Envolve customers can also manage their GM portfolio through an upcoming digital platform.

"At AutoZone, we have and will forever be committed to supporting a more sustainable world for all and for generations to come," said Bill Rhodes, chairman, president, and CEO of AutoZone Inc. "Today, we experience the positive impacts GM has on our business by purchasing their vehicles, parts and telematics services. Still, we see the potential for accelerated growth through collaboration with GM Envolve and energy and mobility solutions."

Tailored solutions will draw from the entire GM enterprise portfolio of commercial products and services.
