Logistics (Delivery & Collections) is a vehicle rental telematics capability that helps operators manage all non-revenue fleet movements, including deliveries, collections, inter-branch transfers and maintenance runs – with full visibility, accurate cost tracking and real-time coordination.
Instead of treating logistics as overhead, RentalMatics turns it into a controlled, measurable operation.
Non-revenue movements are one of the biggest hidden costs in vehicle rental operations. Vehicles are driven without passengers, without income, and often without clear visibility of time, cost or efficiency.
RentalMatics’ Logistics (Delivery & Collections) solution changes that. By combining a driver mobile app with live tracking and dashboards, every movement is planned, tracked, measured and optimised, whether it’s scheduled or ad hoc.
This isn’t just delivery and collection. It’s logistics intelligence for rental fleets.
Drivers use the RentalMatics mobile app (iOS and Android) to manage deliveries, collections and other non-revenue movements directly from their phone. Tasks are assigned digitally, activity is captured automatically, and progress is visible in real time.
Trips are tracked end-to-end, with live data flowing back to the platform so operations teams always know:
No paper. No phone chasing. No blind spots.
From the customer’s perspective, waiting for a vehicle delivery or collection can be frustrating, especially when there’s no visibility or reliable ETA.
We solve this by sharing live vehicle location and estimated arrival times, helping to reduce wait-time anxiety and improve satisfaction. Customers know when the vehicle is coming, and teams spend less time handling “where is it?” queries.
For Fleet, Leasing and RCR clients, this creates a clear operational USP: reliable, transparent logistics backed by data.
Logistics (Delivery & Collections) is already in use by multiple RentalMatics clients and is built to scale with growing fleets and rising delivery volumes.
Whether you’re managing a handful of daily movements or thousands per month, the platform standardises how logistics are planned, executed and reviewed, without adding admin or complexity.
As volumes grow, performance stays visible and controllable.
Operators can understand the true cost of logistics, identify inefficiencies, and take action where improvements are needed. Costs are reviewed weekly, so optimisation happens continuously, not retrospectively.

Logistics (Delivery & Collections) turns a traditionally manual, fragmented process into a streamlined, data-driven operation. All from one connected platform. Logistics helps rental operators manage every delivery and collection with confidence, clarity and control while keeping costs visible and customers informed.
No wasted miles. No manual tracking. Just smarter fleet movement, end to end.
You gain:
Better route planning and smarter coordination help vehicle rental operators significantly reduce unnecessary mileage, idle time and wasted journeys across delivery, collection and transfer activity.
By ensuring drivers take the most efficient routes, avoiding duplicate trips, and improving how movements are scheduled across locations, RentalMatics helps cut fuel consumption, reduce congestion and lower the hidden operational costs that often sit inside non-revenue fleet movements. What was once an overlooked cost centre becomes a measurable opportunity for continuous optimisation.
There’s also a growing sustainability benefit. Fewer wasted miles means lower emissions, less fuel burned and a more environmentally responsible logistics operation, all without compromising service levels. As fleet operators face increasing pressure to improve ESG performance and reduce their environmental footprint, smarter logistics becomes a practical way to support those goals while also protecting margins. Efficiency isn’t just good for profitability; it’s a meaningful step towards more sustainable fleet operations.
