Adopting 1link Hire Network has helped TCH Leasing to increase its annual vehicle rental revenue to more than £1 million.

The Sheffield-based business adopted the Epyx platform in 2014 to actively sell rental as a standalone product for the first time.

Since then, it has expanded the amount of rental that it sells to both existing and new customers, hitting seven figures last year.

Annie Green, rental manager at TCH Leasing, said: “The technology within 1link Hire Network allows us to trade with multiple suppliers, to control costs, to confirm times of bookings, and to manage the rental workflow with transparency.

“It has allowed us to take our rental department from strength to strength in a relatively short period of time.

"For example, we can now offer a choice of vehicles anywhere in the UK. We can now meet and exceed our leasing clients’ expectations and deliver a first class rental service.”

Marc Lees, business development manager for Epyx’s 1link platforms, said: “The TCH experience shows how 1link Hire Network can be used to deliver a professional and highly effective daily rental service with relatively few resources.”

1link Hire Network is among the most widely used rental platforms in the fleet sector, adopted by more than 40 vehicle hire suppliers working with thousands of fleet operators of all sizes across the UK.
