Track and report spend against budget, identifying opportunities to reduce cost per vehicle. Partner with Finance on forecasting and budget planning as the fleet grows. Compliance, Insurance & Documentation Maintain accurate records of registration, titling, and insurance for every vehicle in the fleet.
