Introduction

Managing a successful fleet can be complex and time-consuming. New developments in technology, regulation changes, as well as the pressure to keep costs down can all strain resources and lead to reactive, short-term solutions.  

But you don’t have to go it alone. Holman’s fleet management solutions help you to maximise value at every stage of your fleet lifecycle with our proven Buy-Drive-Service-Sell approach, allowing you to get the most out of your fleet investment and focus on delighting your customers.  

Buy: Build a Fleet that Delivers

Building a successful fleet strategy starts with selecting the right vehicles for each job. We begin by understanding your unique business needs and challenges, and use data to align a fleet to meet and overcome these. For example, if sustainability is your top priority, we can help you develop a transition plan to an electric fleet. This process starts with understanding the suitability of vehicle choices for both today’s needs and your future goals. 

We recognise that every business has unique funding requirements. That’s why we offer flexible financing and leasing solutions that ensure you have access to the fleet you need, tailored to your budget and able to flex as your needs do. 

Operating a flexible fleet enables you to act quickly to any sudden changes. Such as if a new entrant in the EV market offers benefits that align with your business needs, you have the flexibility to make that switch a reality and achieve your goals. 

Drive: Create a Culture of Safety

Your drivers determine the performance of your fleet, so ensuring they’re skilled, and adopt safe, efficient driving practices is crucial. By analysing driver data through our Holman Riskmaster programme, you gain valuable insights into individual driving habits. This allows you to foster a culture of safe driving by proactively addressing potential risks such as drivers in need of training, and then having actionable insight of the outcomes of your corrective actions. 

We mitigate the administrative burden of risk management and driver safety, whilst providing you with the visibility to understand your driver’s behaviour. 

Service: Keep Your Vehicles on the Road

Well-maintained vehicles reduce the risk of breakdowns. Our proactive maintenance services ensure your fleet stays on the road and compliant with industry regulations, minimising costly Vehicle Off Road (VOR) downtime. 

Additionally, partnering with Holman provides access to our Masterserve network of independent garages, providing nationwide coverage and 24/7/365 local support for your drivers.  

This comprehensive approach minimises unexpected disruptions and keeps your operations running smoothly. 

Sell: Avoid Supply Chain Disruption

Our portfolio management solution helps you create a replacement plan for your fleet, we can determine the optimal time to de-fleet vehicles, considering factors like mileage, age, VOR and maintenance costs. This ensures you’re operating a fleet that always delivers the most value for your business, without disruption. 

According to the FN50, two thirds (63.8%) of leased vehicles were not returned on time in 2023, resulting in additional charges. With a flexible lease from Holman, you avoid these penalties and have the freedom to extend, or sell the vehicle, with all profits going back to you. 

Conclusion

Holman provides the expertise and support needed to add value at every step of your fleet’s lifecycle. Our comprehensive Buy-Drive-Service-Sell approach ensures you have an agile fleet, safe drivers, and compliant vehicles, all while maximising the returns back to your organisation. 

We take care of all the details, providing you complete visibility to every line item of cost and importantly, allowing you to concentrate on your core business.
