Microsoft solutions for Logistics & Fleet
Drivers, depots, and devices in motion, with the data to run them.
What this sector is dealing with
Logistics runs on people who are not at a desk and assets that are not in a building. Drivers carry handhelds, depots run shared terminals, and the planning data that keeps it all moving sits in systems that were bought at different times for different reasons.
We bring the fleet and the depot under one management plane, secure the identity behind it, and put the operational data somewhere it can actually be used.
The problems we get called in for
Devices in motion
Handhelds and in-cab devices are lost, broken, and replaced constantly, far from any IT team.
Frontline identity
Drivers and warehouse staff need quick, secure sign-in, often on a shared device, often with gloves on.
Fragmented operational data
Fleet, warehouse, and customer systems each hold part of the picture and none hold all of it.
Thin margins
Efficiency is the business model, so IT spend has to show a return.
What Microsoft brings to logistics & fleet
The products that genuinely apply to this sector, and what each one is actually for here. Much of this sits inside licensing you may already hold.
Microsoft Intune
This is the core of it. Android Enterprise dedicated enrolment for driver handhelds and in-cab devices, shared device mode for depot terminals, kiosk configuration locking a device to the app it exists to run, and remote wipe for the device that does not come back. Compliance policy plus conditional access means a lost handheld is an inconvenience rather than an incident.
Microsoft Entra ID
Conditional Access with device conditions, and sign-in patterns that work for shift workers on shared hardware without turning every shift change into a password reset.
Microsoft Dynamics 365
Supply Chain Management for warehouse and transport operations, Field Service for scheduling and dispatch, and Business Central where a lighter footprint fits better.
Microsoft Power Platform
Power Apps for proof of delivery, vehicle checks, and depot forms that still run on paper, with Power Automate handling the approvals and exceptions behind them. This is usually the fastest visible return in a logistics estate.
Microsoft Power BI
Fleet utilisation, delivery performance, and depot throughput from live data instead of a weekly spreadsheet.
Microsoft Defender XDR
Endpoint and email protection across a distributed estate, including the invoice fraud that targets logistics finance teams.
Typical engagements in this sector
The projects we are most often brought in to deliver for logistics & fleet, from full implementations to targeted uplifts.
Fleet and depot device rollout
Android Enterprise dedicated enrolment for driver handhelds and in-cab devices, shared device mode for depot terminals, and remote wipe for the ones that do not come back.
Paper process to Power Apps
Vehicle checks, proof of delivery, and depot forms moved onto licensing you already hold, with Power Automate behind the approvals.
Dynamics 365 Supply Chain or Business Central
Warehouse, transport, and finance operations in one system, sized to the business rather than to a template.
Power BI operational reporting
One live view of fleet utilisation, delivery performance, and depot throughput, instead of a weekly spreadsheet.
Frameworks that shape the work
These are the frameworks and regulations we most often design against in logistics & fleet. We map Microsoft controls to the framework you are actually held to, and build the evidence trail as we go rather than reconstructing it the week before an audit.
ISO 27001
The information security management standard most enterprise buyers and auditors ask for by name. It wants a system, not a set of tools.
GDPR and UK GDPR
Lawful handling of personal data, with real duties around retention, subject access, and breach notification timelines.
Cyber Essentials Plus
A UK baseline that is independently tested, and increasingly a condition of winning public sector and enterprise contracts.
