VEHICLE funding and fleet management specialist, Fleet Alliance, has been chosen by SERS Energy Solutions (SERS) to professionalise the management of its mixed fleet of cars and vans.

SERS, the specialists in the design, supply and installation of energy-saving solutions, has been one of the country’s leaders in external wall insulation for more than 20 years.

Nationally, the company operates 35 leased cars for sales staff, management and directors and 105 vans, for site-based staff such as supervisors and site managers, which are purchased outright.

The company previously managed its fleet in-house but, with business growth, the complexity of fleet management became a priority. So, it decided to tender a number of leading fleet management suppliers and Fleet Alliance was selected.

Its fleet is now being managed online through Fleet Alliance’s cloud-based fleet management system and reporting suite, e-fleet, which replaces the manual spreadsheet system that was previously used.

Fleet Alliance’s e-fleet app allows drivers to update business and private mileage, electronically complete vehicle inspection reports and access key support services remotely through their smart phones and other mobile devices.

SERS group director, Mike Roberts, said: “As our business expanded so it became increasingly obvious that we needed a specialist provider to help manage our fleet more professionally.

“The appointment of Fleet Alliance will make our lives easier as well as providing us with detailed reporting of fleet costs, mileage returns and the condition of our vehicles.  It will also free up someone’s time internally and allow us to concentrate on our core business.”
