What Is Fleet Management?

A fleet refers to a grouping of 5 or more vehicles that assist a business in its daily company endeavors. Like any vehicles, these fleets need upkeep and maintenance. Fleet management is the act of actively maintaining these company cars, vans, and trucks so that business can carry on without any hiccups. This management enables companies to improve their efficiency while reducing costs.

How Fleet Services Benefits Your Commercial Vehicles

So what comprises fleet service and management, exactly? Let's discuss.

Preventive Maintenance

Fleet management includes customized maintenance alerts, so vehicle maintenance can be done in a proper time frame. This helps to prevent unwanted incidents like vehicle breakdown during delivery. As a part of fleet management, you can expect routine services such as:

To safeguard against unforeseen breakdowns that result in delays which ultimately affect your customers, regularly scheduled upkeep is a must. Your customers will be satisfied dealing with a company that puts service first. Effective Fleet management services will not only offer customer satisfaction but also customer retention.

Enhance Vehicle Efficiency

Time is money when it comes to business. If your fleet isn't properly serviced, it's likely this could lead to frequent breakdowns. In turn, this could mean a loss of productivity and money for your company. Fleet management incorporates elements that enhance the overall efficiency of your commercial fleet. Routine maintenance based on mileage or other measures, such as engine hours or fuel use, can help improve overall vehicle efficiency and reduce costs. Regular fleet maintenance and service can significantly cut down on the time your vehicles are out of service.
