Case study: End-to-end fleet and risk management

Challenges

• Our transport business client was concerned about the risks involved in transporting goods from the port to the rest of the country, such as theft and mishandling
• The client had also experienced increased costs due to fraudulent transactions when paying for fuel with cash
• Our client also needed to import specific trucks for use within the business from overseas

Solutions

• Our consultants conducted a needs analysis to understand the amount and types of cover required by our client
• We provided a competitive quotation and advice on the best cover for our client’s business
• Our consultants assessed whether our client required insurance to cover the business only up until goods arrived at port, or also for the additional transit-leg to a warehouse
• A fleet management card provided our client with a safe and convenient way to pay for fuel, oil, services, repairs, tyres and toll fees
• Increased security is provided to protect against any possible fraudulent transactions
• We provided an Interim agreement to assist our client in importing assets
• Periodic draw-downs were made as agreed upon, while the asset was being shipped
• The agreement was then converted to a regular VAF agreement (instalment sale or financial lease) when the goods arrived and were assembled for use
