Trakm8, a leading provider of telematics and vehicle technology solutions, is pleased to announce its latest partnership with Fourways Vehicle Solutions Ltd, a premier vehicle rental broker with over 20 years of industry experience. This collaboration will see Fourways adopt Trakm8’s Connectedcare vehicle health solution, enabling the company to enhance the maintenance and management of its 250-vehicle rental fleet.
Fourways Vehicle Solutions is renowned for providing straightforward, stress-free vehicle hire services across the UK and overseas. With a diverse fleet that includes cars, vans, commercial, and specialist vehicles, Fourways prides itself on delivering tailored logistical services underpinned by flexibility and outstanding customer service. However, managing a rental fleet of this size presents challenges, particularly when it comes to ensuring vehicles remain reliable, safe, and well-maintained. To address these challenges, Fourways sought a cutting-edge solution to streamline their maintenance cycles and reduce the risk of unexpected breakdowns.
Trakm8’s ConnectedCare solution, integrated into its Insight platform, provides Fourways with remote diagnostics and real-time vehicle health data. The solution reads vehicle diagnostic information directly from the CANbus network of cars and light commercial vehicles, offering fleet managers unparalleled visibility into the condition of their assets. This technology allows Fourways to monitor vehicle warning lights, such as ABS, traction control, DPF, and AdBlue levels, helping them to prevent costly repairs by identifying potential issues before they escalate.
The Insight platform also provides live vehicle odometer readings, ensuring that mileage tracking is accurate and up to date. Battery health monitoring is another key feature, enabling Fourways to detect potential battery issues before they cause breakdowns. Additionally, the platform offers service interval alerts and maintenance reminders, helping Fourways keep their vehicles in optimal condition and reduce downtime.
By leveraging Trakm8’s ConnectedCare solution, Fourways Vehicle Solutions can proactively manage maintenance schedules, minimise the risk of unexpected repairs, and ensure their fleet remains safe and reliable for customers. This not only enhances customer satisfaction but also helps Fourways protect the residual value of their assets.
The partnership with Trakm8 brings specific benefits to Fourways Vehicle Solutions. With access to real-time vehicle health data, the company can minimise the likelihood of breakdowns and reduce the risk of accidents caused by poorly maintained vehicles. The early identification of issues ensures that vehicles remain roadworthy, enhancing both safety and reliability. This proactive approach to maintenance will help Fourways avoid costly repairs, improve the longevity of their fleet, and provide a better overall experience for their customers.
Andy Millichamp, Fleet Manager at Fourways Vehicle Solutions Ltd, commented: “The data Trakm8 provides us is excellent and will greatly help in managing our maintenance schedules. The vehicle health insights we can access through the Insight platform are invaluable, enabling us to prevent breakdowns and keep our assets in top condition. This will save our business a lot of money in the long run while improving the experience for our customers.”
Kerry Gowland, Head of Channel Sales & Partnerships at Trakm8, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Fourways Vehicle Solutions as a customer. Our Connectedcare solution is perfectly suited to their needs, providing real-time insights into vehicle health and helping to reduce costs associated with unexpected breakdowns. We look forward to supporting Fourways in maximising the reliability and longevity of their fleet.”
