THE broker/dealer procurement platform Fleet Procure continues to expand its presence in the automotive market with the addition of new leasing brokers to the service, including established industry names such as Brighton-based broker Rivervale and Vertu-owned van specialist Vansdirect.
Also joining Fleet Procure in August were AngloScottish Vehicle Solutions, B&B Vehicle Contracts and The Leasing Guys.
It takes the number of buyer partners using Fleet Procure to 87 while there are a further 120 using the Stock Manager module, including funders and OEMS such as Leasys and smart.
“Deciding to join Fleet Procure wasn't something we rushed into, we wanted to ensure it was the right choice for us. After thoroughly evaluating the platform's offerings, especially the impressive Stock Manager feature and its seamless API integrations, it became clear that Fleet Procure provides great value. On top of that, the exclusive offers available through the platform made it clear that building our own alternative wouldn’t be practical. While we’re still in the early stages, I speak on behalf of the team at Rivervale, when I say we are very impressed.”
After reviewing the Fleet Procure platform, we felt it compliments our goal to streamline our current process, enhance supply visibility and drive operational efficiency. The decision empowers us to optimise costs, accelerate our time to market, and ultimately deliver superior value to our customers.
“It’s fantastic to have such well-established industry brands joining the platform,” added Lee Jones, Managing Director of Fleet Procure. “It’s a great result from the team and there’s more still to come before the end of this quarter!”
The company recently hired former Leasing Manager of Renault Group Lerato Barratt as its new Commercial Manager – Agency, Leasing and Rental to help manage its expansion. Fleet Procure was the Headline Partner for the Broker News Awards held earlier this year.
