Making Commercial Sense

Agreeing the optimum way of operating a commercial vehicle fleet holds a large number of variables.

- Identifying the correct number of vehicles to ensure the business can operate with maximum efficiency, orders can be quickly processed and deliveries met, whilst ensuring the fleet does not have redundant stock.

- Deciding on how best to route plan, allocate deliveries and direct drivers on a day to day basis to meet delivery schedules, turn stock around at maximum speed, minimise fuel usage and optimise the ‘commercial vehicle asset’.

- And how to best manage fleet funding, maintenance, breakdown, replacement vehicles, short term needs, accident management, disposals, compliancy issues and many more aspects of a seemingly endless list.

At Sandicliffe Motor Contracts we have a specialist team which is highly experienced and very well qualified to support and advise fleets up to 3.5 Tonnes (Transit size).

“When you start talking to a commercial vehicle operator it usually takes them around five seconds to judge whether you know what you’re talking about,” said John Phenix, Sandicliffe Motor Contracts’ Operations Manager.

“Which is why we spend time understanding the business and how it currently operates before we even begin having a conversation about how the fleet best supports it. By doing so we build a very clear picture about the financial and operational measures that need to be met and how the vehicles play their part.”

Sandicliffe Motor Contacts offers a no obligation fleet review to companies operating vans up to 3.5 Tonnes, to look at funding, efficiency, operations and cost saving measures.

In addition, we offer a wide range of added value services. These include discounted vehicle livery services, vehicle specifying, fuel cards, risk management, driver training, telematics and vehicle tracking.
