A new fleet management system said to be a world-first for SMEs is now available for the UK market, with other markets planned to go online.

ODO fleet management system has launched in the UK with other markets in its sights

Named ODO and developed by British automotive technology company, Drive Software Solutions, the solution draws on the firm’s established Drive Platform currently available in 20 countries. This is combined with the Software as a Service (SaaS) technology of the Oracle Cloud, making the technology also the first fleet management system to go operational in this way, according to general manager Gordon Lyster.

Aimed at fleet managers as well as HR managers, financial managers, business owners and SME business drivers, the ODO system stores vehicle and driver data, drawing upon registration data generated from the UK’s DVLA.

It can deliver cost savings by checking vehicles against Cap HPI data, who are also a partner, to look at fuel efficiency and can even give current values.

The solution is also intended to help fleets remain compliant by giving alerts and reminders on both drivers and their vehicles, by checking all company vehicles have up-to-date MOTs, insurance and service records, inputting a company car driver’s latest journey details, or just trying to work out when a specific vehicle is due for change.

ODO is currently available on a 30-day free trial with prices starting from £3 per month per vehicle on the Professional level of service, rising to £5 per month for the Expert level of service, with the possibility of discounts for larger amounts of vehicles.
