Strategic outsourcing and asset management company MITIE, which runs 3,300 vans, has chosen software specialist Jaama to help organise its fleet.
Group fleet manager Justin Patterson, who won the van fleet manager of the year – business title at last month’s Fleet Van awards, awarded the contract.
He said: “We previously plugged into the online systems of our third party suppliers for fleet information and then downloaded data into spreadsheets.
“That was a hugely time- consuming and laborious processes and did not give us the top-level data that we required without signficant administrative input.”
MITIE surveyed the market and, after compiling a three-strong shortlist, chose to introduce Jaama’s Key2 Vehicle Management web-enabled software.
Patterson said: “Buying and managing our own large fleet of vehicles, we are acutely aware of the pence per mile costs of each car and van and we needed better technology to help us measure and then manage all the costs associated with the operation.”
MITIE has more than 54,000 employees and revenues in excess of £1.8 billion.
