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.
