FLEET management specialist Fleet Alliance has taken over the running of the commercial fleet of Aberdeen energy solutions company Richard Irvin.

Previously run in-house, the fleet of 220 light commercial vehicles and 25 cars will now benefit from Fleet Alliance’s ability to standardise its fleet management approach across Scotland.

“Our aim is to have a consistent approach to fleet management across the business and regional offices. We’re delighted that Fleet Alliance is able to create a tailor-made proposal for the management of our fleet requirements,” said Richard Irvin supply chain manager, Chris Curtis.

Following the outsourcing deal, Fleet Alliance began an implementation process, including uploading all Richard Irvin vehicle details onto its online fleet management system, ‘e-fleet’, which provides a suite of management information reports and allows oversight of all aspects of the fleet operation.

Richard Irvin is also considering the introduction of the e-fleet mobile app for users, with benefits including:

• Uploading mileage directly into e-fleet;
• Electronic completion of vehicle inspection reports;
• Remote access to key support services via smart phones and other mobile devices.
