Nexus has introduced an app for its IRIS rental management system for Apple iPhones and android smartphones.

The IRIS app is designed to give fleet and business travel managers greater flexibility to manage their vehicle rental needs, providing complete access to a customer’s account while they are on the move.

“The reality of today’s business life is that fleet and business travel managers aren’t very often deskbound, and while they are out and about they need to be able to control their rental activity”, explained John Ellis, managing director, Nexus Vehicle Rental.

“The new generation of smartphones are being exploited by many businesses to help people on the move stay in touch, so it makes complete sense to provide access to our IRIS rental management tool through this innovative technology too.

“We believe we are leading the way in giving our customers access to a wide variety of rental functions though a mobile app, reflecting our clear focus on enhancing business productivity through our services.”

Users of the IRIS rental management tool can gain complete access to their account via the new app, including making, cancelling, amending or extending a vehicle reservation. Plus they can ‘off-hire’ a vehicle as well as find their closest supplier and view their reservation history.

The IRIS app is free to use for Nexus customers.

“With the launch of the IRIS app, Nexus is helping businesses manage their transport and travel activity more efficiently than ever,” concluded Ellis.

“By giving our customers access to their vehicle rental usage, no matter where they are, they can stay in control and, therefore, control costs which is crucial in today’s economic climate.”
