The Challenge

Having previously worked with a more than one supplier, htec were keen to work with a sole provider, a partner who could provide a complete fleet management package.

The team at htec had a need to more effectively manage their fleet, including better supporting their drivers by taking away the administrative burden of running their vehicles, freeing up driver time to focus on their roles and, ultimately, their customers.

Delivering a Solution

Gofor were selected as htec's partner of choice for fleet management for three key reasons. Firstly, the ability to provide htec a complete fleet package, connecting with the business across the entire lease cycle, was crucial in enabling htec to consolidate under one sole fleet management provider.

Secondly, Gofor's position as a broker, working with multiple funders across the leasing sector, was important, helping to ensure that the team at htec had the confidence they were accessing competitive rates at all times.

Finally, htec were impressed by the driver technology available to them through Gofor's Fleet Portal and Driver App, allowing the business to manage their fleet more effectively. In accessing this technology, htec benefitted from a number of solutions, including

• Real-time fleet management directory: Instant access to a directory of essential feet management services, including breakdown provider, replacement tyres, accidents and servicing,
• Mileage management: Regular notifications to drivers to capture latest mileages, providing the intelligence to provide proactive cost savings insights

‍

The Result

Adopting Gofor's driver technology helped ensure htec management were able to spend less time dealing with daily driver queries, such as phone calls around vehicle servicing and maintenance, ultimately delivering a more effective management of their fleet and meeting one of their key fleet management partner outcomes.

Pleasingly, htec have been one of Gofor’s most active driver technology users, quickly realising the ways in which it can help them to more effectively manage their fleet.

Alongside delivering against initial partnership aims to enable a more efficient fleet, Gofor and htec have further evolved the partnerships, with the provision of more replacement vans in the pipeline, as well as deep dive mileage forecasting to ensure htec make the most from their fleet from a commercial perspective,

“The support from Gofor has allowed us to be more efficient and effective with our fleet management processes– saving us time and money!

For example, having access their driver technology has reduced the need for more administrative heavy spreadsheets and the time our team has to take in managing these.

Gofor are excellent to work with, explaining the process and tech along the way.”
