Think of the number of processes and people involved in the running of your fleet of vehicles:

• Initial purchase – vehicle sourcing, order forms, payment, vehicle registration details
• Ongoing – registration, servicing (making it happen) payment of maintenance costs, collation of costs, reporting thereof, how to benchmark, Road Tax, Insurance renewals, Claims for accident repairs.
• Vehicle sale – comparing to similar assets, confidence in methodology.

If your systems are manual or automated – it still requires substantial investment in time and funds to ensure you can get the best out of your fleet and that management can receive meaningful exception reports. Hawk Fleet lease does this on your behalf – you simply contract us to do so under your lease or fleet management arrangements.

Having total snap-shot of all your vehicles related expenses as managed by Hawk Fleet lease is a significant time saver and a great management tool.
