Fleet Management – Everything You Need to Know 

In this blog, we’ll discuss the important things you need to know about fleet management and how it can help your business. 

What is Fleet Management? 

All organisations who manage a group of commercial vehicles engage in some form of fleet management, or at least should be. This should be to keep track of things like fuel consumption, managing vehicle inventory, and finding methods of cost reduction. This could be by deploying certain vehicles for certain jobs due to their fuel efficiency, capacity, or ease of manoeuvre; or by performing vehicle acquisition to acquire vehicles better suited to the jobs being offered.  

What are Fleet Management Services? 

Businesses that offer fleet management services will help another business look after their fleet operations, including maintaining the existing fleet, advising on acquisitions, as well as more operational factors such as ensuring that driver safety and compliance practices are adhered to.  

A large part of this is keeping track of the expenses incurred by the fleet, both in terms of fuel and maintenance. There may also be more detailed data points gathered from GPS tracking, vehicle black boxes and other data sources. The fleet manager will then attempt to find cost efficiencies using the range of data available to them.   

This process of finding efficiencies will help other aspects of the business too. A better managed fleet means better customer service, with suitable vehicles being dispatched for each job, better maintained vehicles leading to happier drivers and hopefully higher staff retention, and less fines for non-compliance.
