RENTAL provider Nexus has joined broker funder Lex Autolease as a new corporate partner.
As part of the alliance, Lex Autolease will streamline its short-term rental provisions by moving it over to Nexus and implementing its award-winning rental management platform, IRIS. Through IRIS, Lex Autolease will have access to the Nexus supply chain of more than 550,000 vehicles from over 2,000 locations across the UK.
Working with Nexus, Lex Autolease will expand its supply capabilities, and the IRIS platform is expected to provide enhanced functionality including a detailed management information module providing customers with greater visibility and insight into vehicle rental trends.
“The integration of the IRIS platform reflects our shared commitment to operational excellence through technology,” said Scott Haddow, CEO at Nexus Vehicle Rental.
“This partnership will expand our supply capability and gives our customers the best rental experience in the market.”
