Real Impact: Customer Success Stories

Streamlined Booking and Cost Management

A Transport Administrator managing three distinct cost centres within a major retail company has transformed their vehicle rental process using Fleetondemand:

"The platform has transformed how we handle vehicle bookings across our diverse operations. Through intelligent cost centre configuration, we've eliminated the need to manually process hundreds of invoices each month.

"The system automatically validates bookings against correct cost centres, ensuring accuracy from the start. This automation has not only eliminated errors but also freed up our team to focus on strategic tasks rather than administrative paperwork."

Policy Compliance and Control

For a leading logistics company handling nationwide deliveries, maintaining strict vehicle booking policies was crucial. Their Organisation Support Supervisor explains:

"Fleetondemand's sophisticated approval process has transformed our policy compliance. The system allows us to set multiple approval levels based on vehicle type, duration, and cost thresholds. Line managers receive instant notifications for approvals, and the platform ensures bookings align with our corporate policies.

"We've particularly benefited from the ability to customise booking rules for different departments and roles, ensuring the right vehicles are available for the right jobs while maintaining cost control."
