Is the fleet management necessary when your car park is less than 20 vehicles?

The answer is yes. Regardless of your vehicle car park you need to have clear rules and procedures which should be followed by the vehicle users. If the usage is not regulated in a procedure, then the condition of the fleet gets poorer, and the problems related to vehicle availability and increased costs soar. Another aspect of the fleet management is the budgeting of the costs and usage. And here I do not mean only the running cost of your fleet such as fuel, maintenance, insurance etc. costs but the Total cost of ownership (TCO). Without clear budget and tracking, the cost might be unreasonably high. On top, you cannot compare the real usage vs. the planned one or vs. the previous year usage. If you do not monitor or budget your costs and usage you won’t be able to systemize the data and select the proper suppliers. This is another problem for those companies as they cannot perform tenders or suppliers bidding processes. Even if the prices are compared, the services provided may vary from one supplier to another, which makes it impossible to evaluate. Without budgeting and supplier selection, it is impossible to control your costs and create a system for fleet management. An option is to have a GPS fleet management service provider, but he won’t be able to help you with the administrative tasks. In addition, if your fleet users who use their vehicles as a benefit (managerial vehicles) won’t need GPS tracking services. So, logically, you need to hire an expert for fleet management, or you can rely on a service which has low fees and provides the administrative and cost and usage budgeting, and comparison with the actual data. We are developing such solution, which will help you manage the vehicle exploitation and maintenance, without increasing your headcount.
