Consultancy Services

Adept Vehicle Solutions may be commissioned to conduct independent fleet reviews. Utilising our considerable experience and broad understanding of all fleet related aspects, we offer practical, professional and logical consultations, conducted with the utmost discretion.

Today, many companies are demanding independent research and feasibility projects associated with their fleet operations. Often, this is simply because they lack either the resource or indeed specific know how. In other words, they need someone to carry out the tasks that they either cannot do, or, for which they do not have time. Whilst many fleets outsource their actual fleet operations and logistics, it is not unusual for them to also outsource the related reviews and tenders.

Dependant upon requirements, consultations may be either relatively simple or extremely complex. Mutual agreement is reached via an initial interview (free of charge and obligation), utilised to establish whether or not a suitable opportunity exists to benefit the company fleet operation. If the outcome is of a positive nature then a proposal is drawn up together with a broad project plan and anticipated cost. In this way, total transparency is evident from the outset and encourages an open and honest approach from all parties. This is critical to the success of the task. If such an opportunity is seen not to exist then nothing has been lost and suitable contacts have been made in order to be able to explore other future opportunities that may arise.

Elements that may be considered during a consultation are as follows:

Running costs: vehicle acquisition, funding methods, fleet dynamics, and fuel.

Operational review: change cycle management, fleet policy, duty of care.

Supplier control: Tendering, tracking, service level agreements and KPI’s. Can include fleet management operators and vehicle manufacturers.

Outsourcing: feasibility, cost benefit analysis, task retention.

N.B. such consultations do not necessarily replace a company’s fleet related staff, but they do compliment the often stretched resource.
