A new feature to help make fleet tyre payments through TyreServe easier is launching at the same time as the epyx service passes the 100,000 total tyre sales milestone.

The Outsourcing feature saves fleets a considerable amount of administration and resulting cost

The Outsourcing feature covers those instances when major fleets that buy fixed cost tyre insurance from a tyre management company find that a tyres is needed on a vehicle during a routine garage visit.

In this situation, the bill for the tyre tends to be paid by the fleet and then subsequently reclaimed by them from the tyre management company – which can often prove a complex process.

The new feature circumvents this, automatically redirecting the invoice for any tyres fitted using TyreServe to the tyre management company.

And this saves fleets a considerable amount of administration and resulting cost.

It’s the latest work by TyreServe to create a one-stop shop solution for fleets. The module launched five years ago as a bolt-on to epyx’s 1link Service Network service, maintenance and repair (SMR) platform, which is used by fleets totalling more than four million vehicles, and has now notched up its 100,000th tyre sales milestone.

Debbie Fox, commercial director at epyx, said: “The TyreServe concept has really gained momentum in the last couple of years and we have attracted a number of major fleets to the platform. We’re expecting to process around 40,000 tyre sales this year alone, which represents a substantial increase.

“This growth is being partially powered by ongoing investment in our technology and the Outsourcing feature is the latest example of this, using our expertise to offer fleets a faster, easier, more efficient method of processing transactions.”
