Implementation tips

  • Start from this sector pack, then merge the standard M&A folders your process needs.
  • Contract indexation and fuel-surcharge clauses are the margin story — file them first.
  • Number folders to mirror the buyer request list so tracing stays one-to-one.

FAQs

Where is the value risk in logistics deals?

Customer contract terms (indexation, volumes) and driver compliance — both live in this pack.

How is fleet best presented?

One register with ownership/lease status, age and utilisation; the lease documents live behind it.
