Telematics provider Abax has become part of FleetCheck’s partner programme.

The application programming interface (API) means that odometer data collected through Abax products can be accessed directly in FleetCheck’s fleet management software, providing visibility from a single dashboard.

Peter Golding, managing director at FleetCheck, said: “Abax is one of the largest telematics companies in Europe and we’re very pleased to be able to welcome them to our partner programme.

“Their products are widely used across our customer base, especially by commercial vehicle fleets, and this new integration will make life much easier for them, helping consolidate essential data streams into one place.”

Currently, there are more than 40 different companies and organisations taking part in the FleetCheck Partner Programme, ranging from telematics companies such as Abax to fuel card providers and breakdown recovery to leasing specialists.

Golding explained that, since the very earliest days of FleetCheck, the company had sought out expert partners in the fleet sector with which to work.

He said: “The purpose of our partnerships vary from company to company but essentially we help them complement and enhance the service they provide to their customers while, at the same time, applying lessons we learn from them to our own clients.

“Sometimes these relationships are commercial – we may provide fleet software to a partner’s customers, or they offer products and services to ours, but at other times they are very much based on sharing ideas and best practice. Each is different.”

He added that he was always keen to talk to companies that wished to become part of the Partner Programme.

Craig Allan (pictured), global director of key accounts and partnerships at Abax, said: “Customers are at the center of everything that we do and, as such, adding a valuable partner like FleetCheck increases our service offering.

“Using two great solutions will enable our mutual customers to become more efficient and profitable.”
