Fleet management can be a complex process and there are several options available to your organisation when deciding how your fleet is managed, says GSB, New Zealand’s largest business trading network.
GSB adds that important factors such as the nature of the business, staff requirements, budgets and legal compliance are just some that need to be taken into consideration when running a fleet.
For effective fleet management, it is important to monitor the entire end-to-end process, including;
fleet optimisation.
To manage a fleet in-house, an organisation will need a dedicated resource to manage these processes and meet due diligence requirements. Setting up competitive supply contracts, maintaining the vehicles and keeping the process in line with an organisation’s strategy and policy requires a specific level of expertise.
“Does your business have the time and resource to do it themselves?” asks GSB.
“The reality is many do not, and their fleet management processes can suffer. Increasingly, organisations are switching to a mixed model or outsourced approach to fleet management, using the experience and expertise of a third party to assist with their vehicle purchasing, leasing, servicing and disposal procedures.”
GSB has a specialist fleet procurement team which can work with in-house fleet managers to deliver savings through their range of fleet supplier contracts and analysis tools, and GSB says it can work as an extension of the business helping, select the best-fit company to suit requirements.
