Fleet Services

With economic headwinds battering every business, unemployment at record lows and more than 1.2million job vacancies, all companies are having to focus on their productivity – throwing more manpower at tasks is no longer an option. Fleet service companies among the 100 Trusted Brands in Fleet help their customers boost their productivity, whether that’s in the fleet manager’s office or out on the road with drivers.

Specialist fleet software providers deliver the products and support that fleet managers need to process and analyse the masses of data that floods across their desks each day. These products integrate multiple data streams and APIs, and allow managers to identify areas for improvement and measurably track their progress. The rapid development of electrification and the arrival of connected vehicles have intensified the need for trusted support in this area.

For drivers, fast-fit services minimise downtime, offering easy ways to book appointments and ensuring all the parts and tyres are ready and available when the vehicle arrives in the workshop. Extended opening hours and mobile services ensure minimum disruption to the working day, allowing drivers to maximise their efficiency.

These services also play a key role in supporting fleet purchasing policies, complying with preferred-supplier agreements, delivering competitive pricing, and ensuring accurate, data-rich invoicing.

And, on the rare occasions when vehicles do have issues, 100 Trusted Brands in Fleet breakdown and recovery services make every effort to quickly repair the vehicle by the roadside, keeping drivers safe and mobile.

Finally, when company cars and vans come to the end of their fleet life, dedicated remarketing companies help businesses to sell them via the channel that maximises residual values. These services minimise defleet days, and also provide the options to collect, recondition, advertise and sell the vehicles on.
