Epyx to bring 1link Service Network to Scandinavian countries

By / 3 weeks ago / News / No Comments

Epyx is rolling out its 1link Service Network in Finland, Norway and Sweden, further expanding provision of the service, maintenance and repair (SMR) management solution.

1link Service Network is used by fleets totalling almost eight million vehicles globally to manage their SMR processes

The platform, used by fleets totalling almost eight million vehicles globally to manage their SMR processes, is now available in 15 countries.

The expansion into the latest markets means major international leasing fleets can now use the platform across potentially all of their major European territories.

Tim Meadows, CCO at Epyx, said: “The advantages of being able to use a single solution of this type are obvious for these businesses, creating efficient, effective, standardised procedures for SMR purchasing and management throughout their organisations.”

1link is already available in Austria, Australia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Portugal, Slovakia, Switzerland and UK. And Epyx says further market expansion is on the cards.

The 1link Service Network, first launched by Epyx in the UK more than 20 years ago, is now also offered by Business Gateway GmbH, based in Germany.

BG GmbH was founded in 2000, developing expertise in fleet tyre purchasing systems across central Europe. It was acquired by Corpay, which also owns Epyx, in 2023.

Benedikt Hesselmann, key account manager at BG GmbH, said: “The move into these countries has been powered by new business that we have signed in recent months and is very much being prompted by demand in the vehicle leasing sector.

“For our customers, this will deliver substantial advantages in terms of the processing of SMR across their fleet operations in Finland, Norway and Sweden, creating new levels of control, raising service levels and minimising costs.

“It also means that we’ll be working hard in Scandinavia during the coming months to set up networks of SMR suppliers, who will also gain benefits from the 1link platform in terms of faster approval of work, reduced manual effort and automated invoice reconciliation.”
