The system will be used to support customers on maintained lease agreements.

Alphabet said the system provides enhanced communication between agents, workshops, fleet managers and drivers, with real-time status updates and alerts to optimise service workflows .

The system can prioritise repairs, distinguishing between planned maintenance and unexpected breakdowns.

Fleets benefit from enhanced fleet performance reporting, root cause analysis and warranty cost identification.
