Fleet management for logistics and distribution fleets.

In logistics, fuel and route efficiency sit close to the margin line. A small, sustained improvement in consumption or utilisation has a proportionally larger effect than in most other sectors.

What's different about logistics fleets

Distribution fleets run higher, more consistent mileage than most sectors — so both the opportunity and the cost of inefficiency are larger in absolute terms. A 5% fuel improvement across a large distribution fleet is a very different number than the same percentage on a five-vehicle fleet. Downtime also interrupts delivery commitments directly, and higher-mileage vehicles reach service intervals more often, so maintenance scheduling needs to be tighter.

Where SALT typically helps first

  • Fuel consumption and spend analysis Where the largest controllable cost in most logistics fleets sits.
  • Cost-per-kilometre benchmarking Comparing vehicles doing similar routes and loads against each other.
  • Maintenance scheduling for high-mileage vehicles Keeping tighter service intervals from becoming a source of unplanned downtime.

These draw on fuel management, fleet cost analysis and maintenance management.
