Sytner Audi simplifies fleet management with BiK app

The Audi dealership has seen an increase in efficiency after using DCML’s BIK software for more than eight months across its fleet of 40 vehicles.

As well as its time-saving capabilities, the module helps Bradford Audi experience reduced risk, because individuals took ownership of their mileage, as opposed to the management team alone.

The tool documents the movements of drivers, recording their private and business journeys while calculating any BiK incurred and automatically updating the Dealer Car Manager system.

The app can be used to record journeys using GPS, with the driver selecting whether they are private or business trips. At any time, a business is then able to supply HMRC with accurate and verifiable BiK figures.

Sean Endeacott, head of business at Bradford Audi, said: “It is simple, it is documented and we have a history that is easily accessible – and provable – for internal and any external audits, so it takes the worry out of this aspect of our business.

“It protects the driver and the centre (as an employer) in terms of HMRC and takes the guesswork out of who was in what car at what time, and removes any doubt in relation to speeding fines, bus lane incidents, parking fines or RTAs.”
