Outsourcing the management of fleet operations appears to steadily be on the increase. But choosing this approach really depends on the type of business, the number of vehicles and assets within the fleet, and crucially, the skills and workforce available within the business.

​

So it’s essential to work out what you have, and what you need to bring in that would fill gaps or could be done better.

Here’s where to start.
