Neopost Stamps Contract with Leasedrive
Neopost, Europe's number one supplier of mailroom equipment, has rubber stamped a deal with the Leasedrive Group, one of the UK's largest independent privately-owned vehicle management groups, to provide a complete fleet management service in the UK.
Commercial director, Roddy Graham said: "After market testing our proposition against several companies, Neopost was sold on our integrated fleet management system and, critically, the management reporting. Using our bespoke online solution, Drive:Manager, we will be providing a total fleet management service covering over 230 company cars. In addition, Neopost also has more than 200 cash allowance drivers."
David Riley, financial director, commented: "Leasedrive won the contract because of the quality of its people and its exceptional web-based fleet management system. Throughout our evaluation process, we were impressed by the experience and expertise of its staff and their attention to detail. Combined with its cutting-edge Drive:Manager fleet management system, we considered it to be a winning combination."
The new fleet management contract, based on a total and open disclosure policy, covers client policy advice, vehicle acquisition, vehicle disposal, vehicle maintenance management, roadside assistance, short-term vehicle rental and driver management. The total and open approach means that Leasedrive's income streams are derived in their entirety from the monthly management fees. This ensures Leasedrive acts purely in the interests of its clients from both a service and financial perspective.
Neopost will benefit from a suite of solutions available under Drive:Manager including Fleet:Manager, Service:Manager, Admin:Manager, Rental:Manager and Info:Manager.
