Facilities, IT & Fleet
Fleet management
A fleet is a set of costs pretending to be a set of vehicles. Fuel, maintenance, tyres and downtime are where the money goes, and they are the hardest things to see.
What you receive
- A vehicle register with specification, assignment, documents and expiry dates
- A monthly cost report per vehicle, not a single fleet line in the accounts
- Maintenance history that survives a change of country manager
- Provider invoices at cost, separated from the Salt coordination fee
Most foreign operations in Iraq can tell you what their vehicles cost to acquire and almost nothing about what they cost to run. Fuel is bought informally, maintenance is reactive, and nobody has a record of which vehicle was where.
We put a cost record behind each vehicle and a maintenance schedule in front of it. Vehicles stay in your name and drivers come through licensed providers, coordinated by us and held to a standard.
Acquisition
- Requirement definition: what the vehicle actually has to do
- Purchase or lease comparison with total cost of ownership shown
- Supplier verification and quotation comparison through the Procurement Desk
- Purchase order issued in your name and delivery inspected against specification
- Asset tagging and entry into the asset register
Running the fleet
- Fuel consumption records reconciled against distance
- Scheduled servicing and corrective maintenance
- Tyres, batteries and consumables
- Tracking devices and movement records
- Insurance sourcing and renewal through licensed brokers
- Licensing, registration and permit renewals tracked to expiry
- Driver scheduling through licensed providers
Armoured and executive vehicles
B6 armoured vehicles and protective movement are delivered by licensed security companies that Salt contracts and supervises. Salt handles the specification, the selection, the oversight and the invoicing.
- Specification against the movement profile rather than a catalogue
- Licensed provider selection with licence, insurance and standards checks
- Integration with journey management and visit itineraries
- Monthly performance and invoice review
Cost and utilisation reporting
- Monthly cost per vehicle: fuel, maintenance, tyres, insurance and downtime
- Utilisation records showing which vehicles earn their place
- Incident and damage log
- Disposal, sale or transfer with records when a vehicle leaves the fleet
Who it is suitable for
- Operations running more than three vehicles
- Projects with site and city fleets to keep moving
- Missions with mixed soft-skin and armoured requirements
- Companies whose fleet cost is a single unexplained number
Where this touches legal work. Vehicle ownership structures, insurance disputes, accident liability and contract terms sit with Salt & Associates, engaged separately.
Common questions
Does Salt own or lease the vehicles to us?
Vehicles are purchased or leased in your name and drivers come through licensed providers. We specify, select, contract and supervise, and report the cost per vehicle.
Can you manage a fleet we already have?
Yes, and that is usually where the savings are. We build the register, verify the documentation, put the maintenance on a schedule and start reporting cost per vehicle.
How is fuel controlled?
Through fuel logs and consumption records reconciled against distance and utilisation. Informal cash fuel purchasing is where fleet cost disappears, and we do not run it that way.
