Leeds Commercial Vehicle Hire has chosen r2c Online software for its fleet management.

Pat Graham, operations director at the commercial vehicle rental company, said: “The implementation of the r2c Online system has made the control and compliance of the maintenance of this large fleet of vehicles much easier.

"The efficiency improvements we have achieved with the system are why we have decided to roll it out across all our depots.”

LC Vehicle Hire specialises in the supply and management of vehicles to the construction, municipal and haulage sectors.

With a growing fleet of more than 2,000 vehicles, it looked at introducing technology to boost the efficiency and profitability of its operation.

This included keeping track of the maintenance and compliance of its vehicles wherever they are in the country.

Graham added: “As well as our six workshops, we also have a number of mobile technicians and this has meant that the speed at which we can pass on the compliance paperwork to our customers has vastly improved.

"Within seconds of the vehicle being inspected the paperwork is e-mailed by PDF direct to our customer."
