Rotation · Fleet-sizing · CFO
Stop buying the containers you already own
Every year you re-buy 5–10% of a fleet worth €300–3,000 per unit — because you can't find the ones parked at a customer. Vitum calculates the fleet you actually need from real rotation data, so the next purchase order is the right size, not a guess. Capex avoided is a CFO line item.
You're financing a fleet bigger than you need
(a) Replacement over-buy — annual, recurring
Reference fleet: 2,000 containers × €800 = €1.6M fleet value.
| Loss / over-buy rate | Units re-bought / yr | Annual capex |
|---|---|---|
| 5% | 100 | €80,000 |
| 8% | 160 | €128,000 |
| 10% | 200 | €160,000 |
(b) Immobilised capital — the one-time right-sizing prize
€320,000
of capital tied up — if ~20% of the 2,000-unit fleet (400 units × €800) is sitting idle at customers beyond a healthy dwell. Right-sizing frees it once and lowers the run-rate forever.
"You bought 400 IBCs last year. You needed 120. The other 280 were parked at customers."
The reframe
Old
"Live stock counts and inventory dashboards." — an operational promise.
New
"The fleet you actually need — so the next purchase order is right-sized, not a guess." — a capex promise.
How it works
Diagnose
The estimator flags avoidable capex from fleet size, replacement cost and units bought last year.
Prove (€2–4K, one month)
We compute true rotation, dwell time and over-buy from your ERP/TMS dispatch-and-return history — decoupled from any platform build, so the finding lands in weeks.
Decide
The analysis outputs the right fleet size and the next-PO recommendation.
Sustain
The platform keeps rotation live so the number doesn't drift back.
Rotation, dwell and aging analytics are materialised from your existing data (ERP/TMS config, not a new build) — safe to demo.
What you get
Rotation KPIs
You over-buy because you can't see cycle speed
"See how fast your fleet actually turns — per customer."
Fleet-sizing
The next PO is a guess
"Buy the fleet you need, not the one you fear."
Dwell time
Assets sit idle at customers unnoticed
"Find the units parked past their welcome."
Aging buckets
No view of what's been out too long
"What's overdue and worth chasing — ranked."
Historic inventory
Only a snapshot of today
"Stock by location, over time — not just now."
