When haulage net margins sit between 1.5% and 3.0%, saving £25,000 on depot print leases, telematics roaming SIMs, and warehouse energy delivers the same bottom-line profit as winning £1,000,000 in new freight revenue.
£52,400
Verified annual savings unlocked for a 4-depot Midlands logistics operator across POD print, roaming SIMs, and warehouse kVA energy.
£2.09M
Equivalent new haulage revenue required at a 2.5% net operating margin to match £52,400 in direct overhead recovery.
Zero Downtime
Our ‘Stay Put’ wholesale renegotiation protocol benchmarks and reprices your existing suppliers without disrupting 24/7 dispatch desks.
FORENSIC DEPOT OVERHEAD ANALYSIS
Where Multi-Depot Hauliers Silently Bleed Operating Profit
While transport managers scrutinise every penny of diesel, tyres, and vehicle maintenance, non-fleet depot contracts routinely auto-roll onto punitive tariffs.
1. POD, Manifest & Shipping Print
Traffic desks print tens of thousands of Proof of Delivery (POD) packs, pallet labels, and manifests every month—often paying 6p–9p for single-highlight colour logos on rolled-over 5-year copier leases instead of 0.28p mono / 2.4p colour wholesale.
2. Driver Handhelds & Telematics SIMs
Single-network SIMs drop ePOD signatures in rural delivery blackspots, while dormant SIMs in sold or VOR cabs continue billing every month. We consolidate fleets onto pooled multi-network roaming SIMs (EE/O2/Vodafone/Three) at £4.50–£8.50/mo.
3. Cross-Dock Energy, kVA & 2027 PSTN
24/7 cross-dock sorting hubs overpay on unreviewed kVA capacity charges, legacy high-bay sodium lighting, and hidden energy broker commissions (1.5p–3p/kWh), while weighbridge, barrier, and alarm lines face the 2027 BT PSTN switch-off.

Our Commitment to UK Haulage & Logistics Operators
“When your trucks are running on a 2.5% net margin, every £10,000 wasted on auto-rolled depot copier leases, dead cab SIMs, or inflated warehouse energy tariffs requires £400,000 of extra haulage work just to stand still. Give us one month’s depot bills—we’ll do 100% of the forensic digging and return that cash straight to your bottom line.”
