Wolseley drives down fleet running costs with Tranman

Civica has provided a new fleet management system that will help Wolseley UK, the heating and plumbing products distributor, to monitor and maintain its fleet of over 3,500 vehicles with greater accuracy and precision.

The Information Systems and Fleet Services divisions at Wolseley UK are replacing existing systems with Civica’s Tranman fleet management system. Tranman will help the company to meet all commercial and legal obligations while running one of the UK's largest fleets of vehicles. The market-leading software from Civica is widely used by large private sector multi-site organisations such as RAC, as well as emergency services and the MoD in the public sector.

Scott Civzelis, Information Systems, Wolseley UK, said: "Wolseley UK has grown rapidly over recent years and our old systems were becoming outdated. With Tranman we will have a better way of tracking all licensing, maintenance and repair costs over a vehicle's life. We can make our fleet assets work harder for the business."

Ben Morton, Fleet Services, Wolseley UK, added: "Tranman allows us to be more proactive in identifying areas where we can make improvements in helping to drive down the running costs of the fleet. As a result, we are able to offer a better service to fleet users and to our branches."

The new system will provide a wide range of up-to-date information, including details on fuel consumption and maintenance, which identifies where vehicles have become uneconomic to run.

Civica provides a leading range of fleet, asset and service management software for fleet owners, service providers, public sector organisations and the emergency services, with more than 500 customers and a track record over 25 years. The company is a market leader in fleet management for commercial fleet operators and Tranman is used by 70 per cent of UK police forces, 40 per cent of fire and rescue services and 25 per cent of UK local authorities.
