FLEET & COMMERCIAL
Expert advice from procurement and supply chain consultants outlines the past and current adopt of fleet-as-a-service among fleet managers and operators
Accelerated by the EV transition , digital transformation is opening up doors for fleet managers to gain more control over the outcomes of their operations . For many organisations , the ‘ fleet ’ refers to the company carpool affiliated with the business or logistics assets , which transport goods nationally and internationally , holding inherent risks as a result .
The key here is for fleet operators to become more proactive in their approach to managing their fleet , which means gaining visibility of their supply chains through data and insights to minimise reactive behaviour resulting from easily foreseen disruptions .
This is where digital transformation comes in . It allows businesses to obtain and share data about their fleets , ensuring that trucks remain on the road and the risks are minimised across the entire organisation . On top of this are the sustainability and cost benefits , which can be seen by preemptively planning strategic routes to minimise emissions and fuel consumption .
It is , however , a different story for those organisations that have adopted EVs or are looking to make the shift to more sustainable forms of transport to minimise their Scope emissions . Organisations tout the benefits
