Strategic Sourcing & Resilience

Delivery fleet and rider equipment sourcing

We source your delivery fleet and rider kit in Bahrain, the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Oman or Kuwait backwards from the cost per drop, with every vehicle priced before the order is placed.

What we do

We tie what a delivery operation puts on the road to the cost of each delivery: vans, motorbikes, bicycles, electric options, insulated bags, helmets, uniforms and handheld devices. The work starts from the cost per delivery the group needs to hit and works back to a specification, a supplier choice and an acquisition plan.

What you get

  • A fleet specification by vehicle class, matched to drop density, load and distance.
  • A rider equipment standard with a price list and replacement cycle.
  • A supplier and lessor comparison on total cost per vehicle over its holding period.
  • A fleet acquisition plan sequenced against the demand forecast and the cash available.
  • A vehicle register template that carries cost, service and disposal value into your ledger.

What changes

  • Your board sees vehicle cost per delivery over each vehicle's holding period.
  • Rider kit reports as a cost per active rider per month.
  • Fleet utilisation, vehicles on shift against vehicles owned, tells you whether the next tranche is needed.
  • You see what share of the fleet runs on the standard specification.
  • Planned acquisition spend sits beside actual spend, and the variance is on record.

The problem we solve

Fleet is the biggest asset line in most delivery businesses, and it is often bought a few vehicles at a time on whatever terms are offered. Specifications drift, riders carry mismatched kit, and the group cannot say what a vehicle costs per drop over its life.

Signs you need it

  • Vehicle types differ between cities with no reason anyone can give.
  • Rider kit is bought by branch managers on petty cash.
  • A lease was signed on a monthly rate without a view of the cost per delivery.
  • Fleet grows before the demand forecast does, and vehicles sit idle.
  • Repair and replacement cost is not tracked by vehicle.

Who it is for

Founders, chief executives and finance heads of quick-commerce, grocery, restaurant, courier and e-commerce businesses running owned or leased fleets, and groups starting a delivery arm.

Why At Par

Qasim Abbas set the capital logic behind a blended last-mile fleet of about 1,000 vehicles at BaladiMart, so a fleet purchase is a capital decision he reads closely. Your vehicle and rider-equipment shortlist is priced by what each asset costs to run across its working life.

How we work

We price from the dealers, importers and lessors you select with us, and the cost model joins the fleet lease versus own analysis when you need both. See how fees work.

Questions boards ask

Do you recommend electric vehicles?
We recommend the vehicles the delivery data supports, electric included. Electric options sit in the comparison, priced on charging, range and total cost.
Can you source from the dealer we already use?
Yes. Your dealer is invited with the others and answers the same specification.

The next step

Open your delivery data at a private briefing. We return what your fleet costs per drop today and what a sourced specification changes about your next purchase.
