Capgemini one of biggest account wins ever for Leasedrive Group
Leasedrive Group, the largest independent privately-owned vehicle management group in the UK, has won one of its biggest contract hire and fleet management accounts - Capgemini, one of the world's foremost providers of consulting, technology and outsourcing services. The sole-supply contract covers around 1,000 UK company car drivers with the potential to rise to 4,500.
Leasedrive commercial director, Roddy Graham said: "We are over the moon with this latest win, potentially one of the biggest in our history. We were one of ten companies originally invited to tender and proved strong contenders throughout the whole process. Capgemini was particularly impressed with our systems and people. Our on-going investment in Drive:Manager, our bespoke online totally integrated fleet management system, continues to reap dividends. It remains the industry benchmark and its flexibility and impressive technical features are major deciding factors in winning new business.
Capgemini is acutely aware of its duty of care and corporate social responsibilities, and online driver licence checking will be a key service provision. It is also considering Carbon:Manager, our latest service allowing company car drivers the opportunity to offset their CO2 emissions to become CarbonNeutral drivers."
Ann Brown, HR director at Capgemini commented: "Besides Drive:Manager, we were impressed with Leasedrive's attention to detail, speed of response, enthusiasm, excitement and energy. People make a real difference to an organisation. The group met the brief at each stage of the tender process and is already demonstrating the quality of its customer service delivery during the implementation stage.
We have 4,500 employees who are eligible for a company car as part of their flexible benefits package. Currently, around 1,000 take advantage of the scheme and we are looking to Leasedrive to reinvigorate the company car offer to encourage wider take-up."
Capgemini will benefit from a suite of solutions available under Drive:Manager. These include Fleet:Manager, Service:Manager, Mileage:Manager, Admin:Manager, Info:Manager and RunOut: Manager. In order to meet its duty of care and corporate social responsibilities, it will also use Licence:Manager and the Responsibility business driver management programme.
