Bank of Scotland Vehicle Management has added 250,000 cars and vans to the service and maintenance e-commerce system 1link.

It is now used by 25 of the UK's top 50 vehicle leasing companies and the latest addition has one of the UK's largest vehicle leasing fleets, covering brands including Godfrey Davis Contract Hire.

Two million vehicles now have their maintenance managed through the system, which electronically links vehicle suppliers and garages, allows for automatic authorisation of maintenance work and speeds up invoice settlement.

Dave Tanner, technical services manager at BoSVM, said: 'Adopting 1link Service Network will help us save costs and increase service levels.'
