The switch to Leaselink has given greater functionality, particularly in areas such as reporting. In addition, users of the system can have regular input into its ongoing and future development through the Leaselink user group.

The Leaselink solution allows fleet buyers to source the most cost-effective vehicles from a network of preferred dealers and track their progress online from order through to delivery. It has been proven to generate considerable manpower and administrative savings over traditional procurement methods and is the UK’s most widely used e-procurement platform.

Tusker purchasing manager Alison Collier said the switch to Leaselink had brought a number of major benefits.

‘The system is very easy to use, very user friendly and very easy on the eye. The reporting functionality of Leaselink gives us greater information about the performance of our supplying dealers.

‘This is important to us as it supports a performance league table to identify our best performing dealers and increase competition within our dealer network,’ she said.

To complement Leaselink, Tusker has also selected Ebbon-Dacs’ MoDel new vehicle delivery and return car inspection solution, which integrates into the Leaselink platform, for all its new vehicle deliveries.

‘With MoDel we are able to see delivery notes immediately and are able to receive and reconcile dealer invoices online far more quickly. This allows us to speed up payments to dealers which we know they appreciate,’ Collier said.  

‘The new photographic functionality and other developments within version two of the system greatly assist with our used vehicle collections,’ she added.
