SOLUTION

A Flexible Hire solution allowed the Council to replace large-scale capital expenditure with predictable regular payments. Our client can now scale their fleet size up or down as required, helping them meet the sharp fluctuations of seasonal demand and drastically reduce the number of costly unused vans.

With an innovative Telematics solution, the Council has access to real-time information that is key to improving service levels, driver safety, and reducing emissions through efficient job routing and journey planning.
