What Is Commercial Fleet Management?

Fleet management refers to the maintenance and upkeep of a collection of vehicles that belong to a business. Often these are delivery services, however fleet management techniques can be applied to any group of commercial vehicles.

There are a range of factors that are included in fleet management, such as:

  • Evaluating the cost-effectiveness of your fleet
  • Safety and maintenance checks
  • Managing drivers & assets
  • Vehicle safety

These are just a few examples of the types of things you can expect from fleet management procedures. Keep reading to find out more about how these can help your business.

How Can Fleet Management Help My Business?

These are a few examples of why fleet management can help your commercial fleet to become more efficient and help your business.

Optimising Routes

Software can now help you to find the quickest, most energy efficient routes for deliveries or other journeys. This will help to keep your costs down by finding the best routes possible, and saving your drivers time, meaning they can make more deliveries in a day.

Minimising Repair Costs & Potential Damage

Safety checks and routine maintenance inspections will help to spot potential damage before it worsens. It can also help to identify serious issues before vehicles are taken out on the roads. This promotes safety for drivers and minimises the costs of repairs, as problems have been identified at the earliest stage.

Monitor Driver Routes

Tracking systems and GPS systems can help you to track driver routes, so you can monitor where your vehicle is going, which routes are being taken and how much time the vehicle is spending idle. Monitoring routes can help you to coordinate your fleet and ensure that drivers are following the optimal routes.

Correct Vehicles

Ensuring that the correct vehicle is used for deliveries and other journeys is another essential part of fleet management. Using small commercial vans for smaller journeys, and larger vehicles for more heavy duty deliveries will help with fuel economy and the efficiency of the deliveries.

"First time using Vansaway! I was in a bit of a panic as my van broke down and I was unable to fix it. My van is my livihood, so I looked into leasing and contract. I wish I done it sooner. I spoke to Jonathan as my first point of contact. I couldn't have got any luckier having him as my support. He was absolutely fantastic, he went above and beyond to help me. He was easy to contact and would always reply when I had any concerns or questions. His knowledge on all vehicles was impeccable, which made things easier. He listened to what I wanted and needed and explained everything thoroughly help me making the right choice in plan and kept in touch throughout the entire process! He knew I was in desperate need of a van and he did not disappoint and kept his word and I was able to get my new van delivered as soon as possible. Enjoying the drive. Its great about the perks involved in having a contract hire as well! Thank you so much for everything! Highly recommend, vans are just not how they use to be, so its great to have a brand new van along with the support of any engine faults things like that. A huge stress off my shoulders being sole trader."
