The role of a fleet manager is to oversee the operation, maintenance, and performance of a fleet of vehicles to ensure efficiency, safety, and profitability.

- Route Planning and Logistics: Optimizing delivery routes and schedules to improve efficiency, reduce fuel costs, and ensure timely operations.
- Cost Management: Managing budgets, fuel expenses, insurance, and operational costs to maximize profitability.
- Data and Telematics Analysis: Leveraging GPS tracking, diagnostics, and telematics tools to gain insights into vehicle performance, fuel efficiency, and driver productivity.
