Commercial Fleet Management Ideas To Maximise Your Business

Commercial fleet management is a great way to maximise the efficiency and productivity of your business. We’ve outlined why fleet management is important and how it can help your business. To find out more, keep on reading this blog!

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.

"Vanaways is really great, from contacting them up to the delivery can't be smoother than it was. These guys are professionals and I believe the best in the industry. Thanks to Philip Jones, Ross Davies, Jihad Khan and one or two individuals I had contact with throughout the process. I recommend Vanaways and will use them again."

"Very happy with our Vanaways transaction! We needed three new vans quickly for our company and Vanaways didn't disappoint. Hannah and Abbie were on hand every step of the way and provided extremely good prices which suited our business. Customer service is a priority for them and it shows with every phone call and email! When I need a few more, they will be my first port of call. Thankyou guys!"
