The Essential Rental platform provides access to over 200 specialist vehicle types and has been designed to reduce the time taken to order and improve compliance levels.
The web-based platform uses fleet software supplied by Fleet on Demand and has been designed to fully integrate into back office systems and provide a standardised pricing structure and margins, which increases the visibility of booked and live hires. The platform gives users access to real-time data across desktop and mobile platforms.
Ed Hummel, commercial director of Essential Fleet Service, commented: “Our new platform gives our customer a best-in-class solution to managing their short-term fleet hire requirements. The investment in new technology, along with a strengthened management team, are key elements to our growth plan.
“The introduction of the Essential Rental platform opens up a number of new markets and opportunities to us, allowing us to be pro-active in the short term hire market. Access to real-time information and an extensive range of specialist vehicles will benefit our customers. Through this platform, we’re providing a diverse range of vehicles, from road sweepers and gritters to LCVs and refuse collection vehicles.”
