The technical work completed has included system integration between FleetRoute and our line of business customer relationship management (CRM) system, to improve communications with customers and reduce the number of enquiries received by proactively messaging customers when there is an issue with their service. Having to complete a full procurement of a replacement system will have a major impact on resources which are already under extreme pressure i.e.: initial set up, training, service resource in the development and refining routes.
