Having had this response a few times recently I thought it was about time I wrote a blog on the benefits to all companies, small or large on how fleet management software can help their business.
Our fleet management software gives companies the ability to manage all the key responsibilities in one place, enabling upcoming alerts to be recorded and reminders to be sent out to the key people, fully automated.
Management of key safety information needs to be recorded, in some cases daily. This in itself can prove very time consuming, our fleet management software will store all these important documents in the correct place.
Cost management of regular maintenance & servicing history, a very easy way of controling your costs and managing vehicles individually, I often use the phrase "you can't manage what you don't measure" not my quote by the way..... but looking at individual maintenance costs can very quickly highlight some potential problems, could be driver behavier or even a vehicle fault, or in some cases internal fraud.
Also the ability to asset manage, provide a comprehensive report on financial information on existing or future requirements.
Legal / Moral compliance - Our software will ensure you have a clear and well documented vehicle policy, which will provide a Duty of Care for your employee's and reduce the danger of prosecution.
In addition to all of the above a well managed fleet will be a very efficient fleet and will natually produce financial savings, with better effects to vehicle wear & tear & employee's time management.
There is also a misconception that software needs to be expensive, well ours certainly is not in fact our prices start from £49.95+ VAT per month which includes the first 10 vehicles.

What is a PCP ?????
Personal Contract Purchase often referred to as PCP, so what is a PCP. This finance product was designed for private individuals and is classed as a conditional sale agreement that offers you protection under the consumer credit act 1974 and the financial services regulations (FSA).
Similar to contract hire, PCP can avoid the depreciation trap, but the difference is at the end of the agreement you have the option to purchase the vehicle at the agreed final payment or simply hand the vehicle back to the finance company.
Benefits of Personal Contract Purchase
At Zalda we often find ourselves recommending PCP to private individuals who work for companies where there is a company car opt out scheme in place. Another favorite is for the petrol heads who enjoy expensive vehicles, as the finance company will set a residual value based on length of the agreement & annual mileage and by fixing the final payment this will reduce the monthly payments.
Buying an older car may seem like a safer option - after all, it will be cheaper to buy. However, one large service & maintenance bill could completely wipe out any savings on buying a second hand vehicle. If you buy a vehicle with a PCP, you will be buying a new vehicle over typically 3 years where servicing & maintenance costs are very low and any major faults will be picked under the manufacturers warranty.
At Zalda Ltd, we still maintain that you need expert advice, and by letting us find out a little about you & your business we will tailor the right funding package to suit you.
Thank you for taking the time to read our blog and hope you are finding the information useful.

Vehicle Finance Explained
In the next series of blogs, I will be explaining the different types of finance products available when considering your next vehicle purchase.
Contract Hire
Contract Hire, sometimes referred to as leasing or operational lease is a good solution for businesses looking to fund their vehicles by simply making a fixed monthly payment throughout the term of the contract (typically 2 or 3 years), and at the end of the contract, we would return the vehicle back to the finance company and take out a new agreement. We can also have a inclusion of an optional service & maintenance package to take care of all future servicing and repairs to include tyres.
Benefits of Contract Hire
John Paul Getty the famous oil barron has a famous quote,
" If its a appreciating asset buy it & if its a depreciating asset lease it"
Accountants & business advisors all agree that conserving cash is essential to protect businesses from fluctuations in business, bad debts, unforseen costs etc...
At Zalda Ltd, we still maintain that leasing does not suit every business or individual and that's why we offer our procurement plan, by letting us find out a little about you & your business we will tailor the right funding package !!!
