A logistics partner operating a substantial own fleet of 60 vehicles.
Challenge:
A lack of transparency in transport processes, combined with exceptionally high maintenance costs across the vehicle fleet, had begun to undermine confidence at leadership level. A more detailed analysis identified several critical issues:
Low efficiency: return load utilisation was inadequate, resulting in empty running.
Uneven workload distribution: driver workloads fluctuated considerably, posing a significant risk to profitability.
Solution:
Interim Ltd. assigned an interim manager with extensive experience in freight and logistics. Our specialist did not merely make recommendations — they took full responsibility for implementation:
Cost optimisation: conducted a new service partner tender, securing more favourable terms for fleet management.
Rigorous oversight: introduced tighter controls across the fleet.
Rethinking transport planning: restructured logistics planning to improve return load utilisation.
Results:
Pre-tax profit in the division increased by 56% as a result of more efficient transport planning.
Several million forints were saved against the projected annual servicing costs.
Fluctuation in driver workload was reduced from a previous level of 25%+ down to 1–9%.
Rather than simply cutting costs, a transparent logistics structure was established that is demonstrably more profitable over the long term.
