Drive:Manager Sets New Benchmark Standards

Leasedrive Group, one of the largest independent privately-owned vehicle management groups in the UK, has launched Drive:Manager, a new bespoke online total vehicle management service. Offering all-round operational efficiencies, the fully-integrated web-based solution covers all key areas of fleet management. These include company vehicle policy, vehicle comparisons, vehicle quotations, vehicle ordering, vehicle maintenance booking, authorisations, payments and management reporting.

Chief operating officer, David Bird said: "Within Drive:Manager we have seamlessly combined the three best industry-leading software applications - CHP ALFA, epyx 1Link and Business Objects - into one fully-integrated solution. Following the investment of several million pounds over the last twelve months, we are now able to offer our customers the very best leading-edge quality business solutions in the fleet industry."

"Drive:Manager is an indispensable and vital tool for the fleet manager who is serious about significantly improving the control and operational efficiencies of a medium to large-sized fleet, direct from his PC."

"We are convinced Drive:Manager will set new benchmark standards for operational and customer service quality in the industry."

Drive:Manager is a fully-integrated web-based system providing online fleet support. Users can obtain quotes and order new vehicles, tracking progress through production and delivery. Once vehicles are on the road, routine servicing, unforeseen maintenance and repair work can all be booked, authorised and paid for online. Meanwhile, fleet decision makers can make the most informed decisions, based on the best available and clearest management information.

Providing the critical cradle-to-grave support is CHP ALFA. The fourth generation contract hire and fleet management business system is the finest asset management system available. Fully integrating all Leasedrive's business processes, ALFA will also accommodate the group's planned future growth.

The epyx 1Link Vehicle Network has redefined vehicle selection, purchase and sourcing. It is now the preferred choice within the automotive industry. Supported by the 1Link Service Network, epyx represents the complete solution for vehicle acquisition, maintenance and disposal.

Business Objects, the world leading reporting system, processes the information contained within ALFA and epyx to allow management to make better business decisions, based on the most up-to-date management information.
