Jaama’s Key2 asset management system has been a multi award-winner throughout its 14-year history and the industry-leading technology is helping some of the UK’s best known fleets win top awards.
Skanska, one of the world’s leading project development and construction companies, introduced Key2 following a comprehensive marketplace review and has subsequently won a string of industry awards notably for its fleet safety.
Meanwhile, Speedy Services, a leading service provider offering equipment for both hire and sale, and associated services to construction, infrastructure, industrial and related industries, has similarly had its fleet operation recognised.
Hertfordshire-headquartered Skanska operates a UK-wide fleet of some 2,500 vehicles comprising 1,600 company cars, 650 light commercial vehicles and 250 heavy commercial vehicles and also uses its vehicle management software to manage some plant equipment assets.
Cutting the fleet administration burden and utilising data to deliver financial savings were critical to Skanska in selecting Key2 as its new vehicle management software system, but so was future proofing the technology.
The company was named Safe Fleet of the Year in both the 2016 and 2017 fleet industry ‘Oscars’ – the annual awards from trade publication Fleet News.
Ministers say they put road safety first as they decided to maintain the period before cars and vans have a first MoT test at three years. The move comes after a Department for Transport consultation last year to consider changing the wait before the first test to four years. Most of those responding […]
More than 1.2 million vehicles are now managed via Jaama’s multi award-winning Key2 asset management system.
The 1.2 million mark has been broken after Jaama reported that it had sold a record number of Key2 vehicle management systems to fleets, contract hire and leasing companies and rental specialists in 2017 up 84.5% on 2016.
What’s more, the company, which is moving into its 14th year as the provider of the UK’s most sophisticated and requested vehicle and driver management software system, is further expanding with a move into new offices scheduled in 2018.
Jaama, which now employs almost 100 people and saw headcount increase by 34 last year, will be moving into premises around three times the size of its current offices, which it moved into five years ago.
Jaama’s software development team which makes up half of its workforce has already relocated into the new offices, which are on the same Tamworth business park on which the company has been located for the past decade having previously expanded twice into larger premises.
Jaama’s policy of continually investing in its Key2 software to ensure that it remains in the vanguard of asset management solutions available to public and private sector fleets, contract hire and leasing companies and daily rental businesses has been critical in driving the volume of customers using the system to unprecedented levels.

The government has decided to introduce an exemption from goods vehicle operator licensing for alternatively-fuelled vehicles up to 4.25 tonnes to help incentivise the use of cleaner fuel vans, while avoiding the regulatory ‘payload penalty’ associated with heavier powertrains, including battery weights. The move follows industry lobbying and a public consultation that also sees “the […]
