Contract hire and repair and maintenance specialist Prohire is the latest company to choose Jaama’s internet-based software system.
Prohire, which operates a fleet of more than 2,000 commercial vehicles, has introduced Jaama’s award-winning Key2 leasing and vehicle management system.
Key2 replaced a vehicle management system and accounting system that could no longer support Prohire’s customer-focussed, expansion-led business model.
Prohire’s new system provides vehicle management, online ordering, online quotations, fully integrated accounts and customer billing and Prohire has adopted Data Vision, an online portal that allows Prohire’s customers to run pre-defined reports and view real-time driver and vehicle-related information such as MOTs, servicing, inspection and Road Fund Licence renewals.
Prohire IT supervisor, Gareth Holdcroft, said: “There were huge limitations to the previous system including its rigid make-up, access speed and accessibility to management information.
“As it was not an online system, management information had to be requested by customers and we would then compile the required reports. The system was slow, administratively cumbersome and labour intensive. Effectively it had been outgrown by Prohire’s expansion and desire to deliver added value to customers.”
Prohire IT manager Jim McAlinden said: “The benefits that ourselves and our customers gain from Key2 far outweigh any other systems we saw.”
Now Prohire is looking to further expand Key2 Vehicle Management utilisation by introducing the workshop management module.
The Stoke on Trent-based company has its own vehicle workshops and the new module will be used to manage vehicle throughput and parts availability.
Martin Evans, Jaama’s sales and operations director, said: “Prohire is the latest vehicle leasing company to recognise the flexibility and broad range of functionality that is included within Key2 Vehicle Management.”
