Lex already provides Allstar fuel cards to all of its leasing customers and the latest announcement means that its clients can benefit from a wider range of Allstar services such as the Allstar Premier Programme and Supermarket Card.

The deal will also enhance the existing service provision, in particular the supply of fuel transactional data that supports Lex Autolease’s interactive (LAi) system.

Lex Autolease’s e-Commerce and management reporting system provides customers with Dashboard Reporting which includes MI recommendations on their fuel spend and offers information on fuel buying trends, fuel usage data and advice on effective fuel management.

LAi can be tailored to meet individual needs, and is also now available as a smartphone app for mobile devices.

Andy Hartley, commercial director of Lex Autolease, commented: ‘Our market-leading fleet and fuel portal converts data into consultative Management Information (MI) and recommendations. This level of information is typically only provided to very large corporate customers but we are now committed to providing all customers with access to the most thoroughly researched information on the market.

‘The combination of Allstar’s expertise in its market and its unrivalled network and systems allied to Lex Autolease’s e-Commerce platforms allows our joint customers to enjoy a full turnkey package that will improve the operational running of businesses small, medium or large.’

Peter Bridgen, managing director of FleetCor UK, added: ‘The re-launch of our partnership with Lex Autolease demonstrates how highly we value the service they provide to our mutual customers and reinforces how essential fuel management is for all businesses.

’Lex Autolease already provides an excellent suite of services to its clients, but we believe this latest addition will further enhance its offering and greatly improve the fleet efficiency of all of its customers.’
