STIRLING COUNCIL USES JAAMA SOFTWARE TO DRIVE FORWARD FLEET EFFICIENCIES
Stirling Council is one of a growing number of local authorities utilising award-winning online technology from Jaama to drive forward fleet management operating efficiencies.
The Council, which runs a fleet of some 550 vehicles comprising 200 cars, 265 light and 85 heavy commercial vehicles as well as trailers and plant and equipment, uses Jaama’s Key2 Vehicle Management software and is phasing in an increasing range of additional modules to further improve operating and administration efficiency and reporting.
Key2 software was initially introduced four years ago after Jaama won a competitive tender.
ADT BOOSTS FLEET EFFICIENCIES WITH NEW JAAMA ONLINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Fleet operating cost savings are expected through improving efficiencies and administration processes as a result of ADT Fire and Security introducing a sophisticated online vehicle management system from leading software supplier Jaama.
Sunbury-on-Thames headquartered ADT Fire and Security operates a 3,000-strong fleet comprising 2,600 company cars and 400 light commercial vehicles.
The company’s five-strong fleet department led by fleet manager Tom Wiggans manages the entire operating leased fleet from cradle to grave embracing vehicle acquisition and disposal as well as in-life management.
Jaama’s Key2 Vehicle Management system has replaced an aging system fleet management software system that was supported with the use of a wide range of spreadsheet-based data.
COLAS SELECTS JAAMA TO DELIVER ONLINE FLEET MAINTENANCE AND MANAGEMENT EFFICIENCIES

JAAMA REACHES FINAL FOR FLEET INDUSTRY ‘OSCAR’
Leading fleet, leasing and rental software specialist Jaama is a finalist for one of the top awards in the 2012 fleet industry ‘Oscars’.
Organised by industry publication Fleet News, it is the first time that Tamworth-based Jaama has reached the final of the Fleet Supplier of the Year category.
The winners of this year’s almost 30 Fleet News Awards, which recognise industry excellence, will be announced at a glittering dinner at the Grosvenor House Hotel, London, on March 21.
Continuous investment in new product development from launch in 2004 is one of the keys to business success and it is proving a winning recipe for the innovative fleet management software specialist.
JAAMA KEY2 SOFTWARE ENHANCEMENTS PUT LEASING COMPANIES AND SALARY SACRIFICE CUSTOMERS IN THE PICTURE
Jaama has added yet more functionality to its multi award-winning Key2 Contract Hire and Leasing system which enables leasing companies to offer car salary sacrifice schemes to their customers.
The salary sacrifice module enables lease companies to set customer specific schemes and also manage the related contracts.
Employees are provided with access to a web quotes system to choose their preferred vehicle and the system will then calculate the expected salary deduction value. Once the quote has been approved, Key2’s efficient workflow will use the information to create the necessary order, vehicle record and contract with minimal manual intervention.
JAAMA DELIVERS ONLINE EQUIPMENT MANAGEMENT SOLUTION TO PJC PLANT SERVICES

PJC Plant Services, a member of the £50 million turnover Paul John Group of companies, specialises in the hire of a wide cross section of tools and small and medium plant equipment to professional tradesmen including angle grinders, drills, generators, compressors, dumpers and mini diggers.
INVESTMENT KEY FOR FLEETS AND VEHICLE SUPPLIERS TO BOOST EFFICIENCY AND BATTLE THROUGH ECONOMIC CHALLENGE
Fleets, leasing and rental organisations must not shy away from investing to boost business and vehicle operating efficiency despite budgetary constraints and the challenging economic climate.
That’s the New Year message from Jason Francis, managing director of leading fleet management software specialist Jaama, who says public and private sector organisations should take a leaf out of the Government’s book and invest in infrastructure and capital projects.
He said: “Managing directors, financial directors and fleet operators must continue to plan for the long term. Although finances maybe tight with pressure on budgets, cancelling capital expenditure will ultimately prove short-sighted.”
JAAMA’S KEY2 VEHICLE MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE PUTS THE FOCUS ON CRITICAL FLEET FUNDING AND OPERATING COSTS
Cost management is critical for fleet operators, which is why Jaama’s multi award-winning Key2 Vehicle Management software has functionality that takes account of all transactions and identifies the optimum funding strategy for organisations on an individual basis.
Most fleet managers understand the value in using whole life cost as the basis for choosing the most cost-effective vehicles for company fleets – but, critically, market research suggests that not all decision-makers use total cost of ownership as their selection criteria.
Additionally, some fleet operators do not include all of the relevant data in their calculations so the real whole life cost picture is not fully transparent.
EUROPEAN ‘O’ LICENCE CHANGES SIGNIFY IMPORTANCE OF INSTALLING ONLINE FLEET MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
Tougher European legislation on operating licensing and transport management underlines the importance of ensuring that fleets have software systems in place to manage compliance, according to leading fleet, leasing and rental software specialist Jaama.
Legislative compliance and implementation of best practice policies and procedures by UK ‘O’ Licence holders are recognised as being at the cutting-edge and the new European Union regulation is designed to tackle inconsistencies across Europe.
Jaama sales director Martin Evans said: “The UK is widely recognised as setting the benchmark for professional competence and road safety. That, in part, is due to the fact that many organisations use sophisticated online fleet management systems to keep tabs on all aspects of their fleet operation to ensure ‘O’ Licence obligations are met.”
