Fleet procurement made easy

The benefits of using Fleet Procurement

They might last years or even decades, so it’s important that fleet procurement is conducted correctly to position your business for future success.

Procurement not only involves choosing the right vehicles, it also has to take into consideration several other factors including tyres, fuel, insurance, maintenance and parts, as well as the various types of support services offered by fleet service providers.

It’s a time-consuming process that requires collaboration between different departments, from purchasing to the end-user.

Ideally, procurement should result in vehicles that are bought and operated within budget and that adhere to the best practices for all involved.

Get it right from the start

It’s advisable to take into account all options for financing the fleet – including lease, purchase and hire – from the strategic planning phase.

At this stage, you should also assess the current and past fleet arrangements you have in place to make an informed decision about whether you can improve on them.

Budgets need to be calculated year-on-year and not just adjusted incrementally at the end of the year. This will ensure that inflationary figures, maintenance costs and fuel price fluctuations are taken into account regarding the fleet vehicles.

Effective procurement needs to be informed by the total-life operations costs and even the residual value of the vehicle at the end of its life.

It will be useful to form a vehicle review committee consisting of representatives from procurement, management, finance and fleet so that company-wide input can be obtained on the matter.
