BYNX — WILLOW
WILLOW is aimed at medium to large fleets, providing a back-office vehicle and lease management support tool.

The system is modular and can be purchased either as a packaged full service leasing and fleet management application or as individual modules assembled to match specific fleet/lease management needs.

Fleets are able to control the wholelife cycle of a vehicle from quote to order, through purchasing, direct and indirect in-life cost and contact management to end-of-contract used vehicle decommissioning, cost recoveries and sale.

Willow uses Oracle database management, workflow and browser technologies to provide the fleet management modules.
