Clarity for difficult trailer fleet decisions
When a decision is expensive to get wrong, we provide clear analysis, explicit trade-offs and a recommendation leadership can act on.

Proven in Practice:
We recently supported an operations team comparing two expansion options.
The work provided a structured comparison of cost, timing and risk, helping the team move forward with confidence.

The biggest costs rarely arrive all at once
The biggest costs rarely arrive all at once
In trailer fleet operations, margin rarely disappears because of a single bad call.
It erodes slowly through decisions that feel small, reasonable and easy to delay.
Over time, it often looks like this:
Assets kept in service just a bit longer without a clear economic rationale
Expansion or replacement decisions revisited but never fully closed
Maintenance and disruption costs creeping up year after year
The same questions returning every quarter with no new clarity
The data usually exists.
The experience usually exists.
What’s missing is the point where the numbers are brought together clearly enough for a decision to be made with confidence.

Focused analysis for specific fleet decisions
Focused analysis for specific fleet decisions
OpsControl focuses on a narrow but critical problem: providing independent analysis when an important fleet decision needs to be made.
Each engagement centres on one specific question.
Examples include:
• Keep older trailers in service or replace them
• Adjust weekly rates or target utilisation
• Expand the fleet now or wait
• Investigate rising maintenance or disruption costs
• Test the financial impact of different scenarios
Instead of producing dashboards or presentations, the work results in a clear written recommendation that makes the trade-offs and assumptions explicit.
The result is a decision you can move forward with confidently.

How it works
Define the decision
We start by clarifying the exact question, time horizon and realistic options. If the decision isn’t precise, the analysis won’t be either.

Compare the future impact
We assess cost, timing and risk across each option over a consistent future horizon.

Make explicit assumptions
Where information is incomplete, assumptions are stated clearly and tested. Uncertainty is visible rather than hidden.

Make explicit assumptions
Where information is incomplete, assumptions are stated clearly and tested so uncertainty is visible rather than hidden. This prevents false precision and shows what materially would change the answer.

Who this is for
Who this is for
OpsControl is designed for businesses that operate trailer fleets and make regular decisions about utilisation, pricing and asset lifecycle.
The work is most valuable where small changes in utilisation or rates materially affect profit.
Typically this includes:
• Trailer fleet operators running contract or spot hire
• Businesses managing medium to large trailer fleets
• Teams reviewing pricing, utilisation or fleet planning
• Operators preparing budgets or investment decisions

This work is unlikely to be useful for:
• Pure software or service businesses
• Early-stage companies without operational scale
• Situations where decisions are easily reversible

Decision Engine
From £4500
For decisions that will be revisited regularly. We turn the analysis into a simple internal tool your team can reuse and adapt as assumptions change.
What this can include:
Scenario modelling for utilisation, rates and costs
Ability to test assumptions and compare options quickly
Clear visibility of the variables driving profit and risk
A lightweight interface your team can access in a browser
Automated summaries of results to support internal discussions (optional)
Normally discussed and delivered after an initial Decision Snapshot.
Typical turnaround: 2-4 weeks
Hosting & support (optional)
If you would like the tool hosted and maintained by OpsControl:
£150 / month
Includes hosting, maintenance, small updates and automated reporting features.
Alternatively, a one-off handover package for internal hosting is available.
