Launched in the summer of 2000, the company has made significant strides in its first eight months. As already announced, household names such as Otis and Chubb are enjoying the many benefits of the Fleetstar system and the business has established a strong management team, with a dedicated nationwide sales force of 50 account managers. Fleetstar is now the UK’s most innovative dynamic fleet management company, an example of its creative approach being the delivery of live traffic information into its product.
In addition to attracting larger organisations, the system is also proving popular amongst smaller companies as the following testimonials demonstrate:
Fleetstar is an extremely powerful tool. We have completely re-engineered our management processes since its introduction. It helps me to control all aspects of the business and increase the workload at the same time
Mick Mercer, Managing Director, Basingstoke Skip Hire
We were surprised at just how cost effective the system is to operate. We really had no idea of the scale of opportunities to improve and as a result are now working much ‘smarter’ rather than harder. It really has transformed the way we work
Bob Beale, Financial Director, Lloyds Konecranes
We have been able to adopt a more proactive approach to improve our flexibility in meeting our customers needs. We now have a clear picture of business performance and can use the system to drive out inefficiencies
Steve Wright, Managing Director, Economy Services Ltd
Peter Johnson, Managing Director, Fleetstar Information Systems Ltd, concluded:
So far it has been an exciting first year. The company has made great strides and is now well positioned to meet the challenges of 2001. Fleetstar’s business expansion into Europe is progressing well, the system is already launched in Germany with France, Italy and the Benelux countries due to follow over the next 6 months. I am confident that Fleetstar’s unique capabilities and competitive pricing policy will lead to further key account wins during the early part of this year and clearly establish Fleetstar as the UK’s most innovative, dynamic fleet management system.
