JCT600 Vehicle Leasing Solutions has teamed up with business car consultants, BCF Wessex, to develop a new web-based tool kit for SMEs.

The 'Gensen' software is designed to help company owners and drivers make the right decisions when managing their fleet or choosing their individual cars by detailing the cost of the car to the business and to the individual.

The software advises whether the customer should lease or buy the car, compares personal lease with contract hire, and allows the driver to compare various tax costs. Gensen even evaluates the true cost of “free” fuel.

Gensen provides the customer with accurate and concise results quickly and easily. Combining monthly pricing updates from JCT600 and regular legislative and tax updates from BCF Wessex, users benefit from up to date and accurate vehicle information that delivers useful and relevant funding and car choice comparisons.

“Using this web-based software to choose fleet or business vehicles removes the need for complex spreadsheets, tax expert advice, or multiple quotations.” said Paul Walters, sales director at JCT600 Vehicle Leasing Solutions.

“By simply selecting their preferred car, lease period and variables such as mileage, the software accurately works out the true cost, with the option of comparing similar vehicles. Results are displayed in a modern, touchscreen format, which allows our sales team to offer advice on funding and car choice in one meeting, with all the information at their fingertips.”

Jeff Whitcombe of BCF Wessex added: “Our ethos is to always strive to make the complex simple. Realising that SMEs managing small fleets are faced with complicated decisions, we identified a need in the market for an intuitive, simple, user friendly tool to help those fleet decision makers, and Gensen was born. We are delighted to be supporting JCT600 Vehicle Leasing Solutions in providing the best service to their customers.”

Walters added: “The new software has been enormously successful in presenting cost-effective contract hire to potential customers and helping them rationalise their car fleet policies. All members of our sales team are fully equipped with mobile tablet devices, allowing them to easily demonstrate the benefits of leasing solutions at the touch of a button.”
