Irish logistics company McBurney Transport Group has deployed Freeway Fleet Systems' software to help manage its fleet.

The asset management software will support the management of 1,400 vehicles and trailers, allowing McBurney to control its entire fleet maintenance from a single interface.

Freeway's system was selected for its additional product features, countless integrations and a high level of customisation, following an extensive research period.

McBurney's Fleet Manager, Sammy Hamill explained: "As part of the evaluation process we visited another existing Freeway user to see the system working in a live environment. This gave us the confidence to proceed with the Freeway installation because we realised how tailored it could be to our specific requirements. The visibility over asset costs and stock control, as well as simplified external and internal invoicing procedures, were additional benefits that we could see being extremely beneficial from the outset."

Genie Insight, Freeway's Irish partner, helped support the implementation of the software, with McBurney officially going live with the system in September 2018.

As well as managing its entire fleet with the new system, McBurney is also scheduling over 6,000 annual service checks using Freeway, including truck and trailer OLIs, MOTs, oil changes, tachograph calibrations and fridge motor inspections. A componentry scheme has also been designed to facilitate the coding and import of over 4,000 parts in the company's combined impress and owned inventory stock.

The system has also been introduced to 20 HGV mechanics and trailer fitters across the company's two maintenance facilities in Ballymena and Liverpool.
