Radius Vehicle Solutions GB has secured a contract to provide Fleet Assist customers with a range of service maintenance and repair (SMR) services in a multi-year agreement.

Radius vehicle operators will access Fleet Assist’s 5,200-strong garage and 500-plus mobile network through its platform Synergy, linked to Fleet Assist’s booking tool, Service Booking Lite.

These services will feed into Radius’ dedicated maintenance support department underpinned by additional support from Fleet Assist’s Huntingdon and field-based team, which will provide network and technical authorisations.

Radius Vehicle Solutions GB runs a UK-wide fleet of 4,500 vehicles delivering a range of products which includes leasing, rental and fleet management.  

Fleet Assist’s Paybill service will streamline further the administrative process by consolidating all SMR spend into one invoice, allowing front-line Radius teams to concentrate on service delivery and preventative maintenance activities. 

With full access to Fleet Assist’s Atlas Analytics business intelligence, Radius says that this will enable granular level detail to support effective decision making not only in understanding in-life costs but also support strategic business decisions on future manufacturer and derivative selection policies.

Gareth Jones, managing director of Radius Vehicle Solutions GB, said: “We selected Fleet Assist for a number of reasons not least their network infrastructure, IT systems and integration capabilities.

“Key to the decision also was their industry knowledge and experience. This gave us the reassurance that we will benefit from a long-term partnership with our teams working together, to deliver a best-in-class maintenance management experience for our customers and partners.”

Garry Winckley (pictured), business development director at Fleet Assist, added: “We look forward to providing Radius with a range of SMR services.

“Our Atlas Analytics will provide Radius with detailed insight into SMR spend and potential financial and operational savings available through fine tuning its work direction policy.”
