NEWSArtegy Looks to the Future
31st July 2008 - London: Contract hire and fleet support services company Artegy is planning for tomorrow with its new approach to public sector fleet operators. “There are so many pressures now facing public authorities when it comes to putting a fleet of vehicles to work” says Rob Kerridge, Artegy’s newly appointed head of Business Development for the Public Sector. “Increasing environmental concerns go hand-in-hand with the ever-present need to make better use of assets. Add to this the responsibility for compliance on all levels such as ealth and Safety and O Licensing plus tighter budgetary constraints and it’s clear that new solutions are needed in order to be prepared for a demanding future, ” continued Kerridge. Artegy believes that it can help by developing a service that offers access to innovative new vehicle technology married to information systems that keep the customer informed of the performance of the fleet at the touch of a button. The Company’s SAP platform provides on-line access to management information, providing valuable help to fleet operators wishing to minimise the environmental impact of their fleets through greater efficiency. Artegy assesses the best solution for maintenance support working with service and repair agents right across the country and can use this as the basis for partnering with an authority’s own workshop. Artegy manages the maintenance budget but the activity can remain with the local authority’s technicians. “This is an example of Artegy doing what it does best – measure the risks and opportunities and then translate those into a package that gives the customer valuable management data – knowing that Artegy is responsible for managing the operating costs and residual value risk.” Artegy is part of BNP Paribas, one of only 4 banks in the world with a Standard & Poors rating of AA+ or better, and focuses on specific market sectors, concentrating its efforts on acquiring specialist knowledge to support them. Public Sector business forms an important part of that strategy. To read the press release Click Here: http://www.leasegroup.bnpparibas.com/en/press/ |
