Although no event could take place, ARI’s portfolio management solution has been recognised at the 2021 Great British Fleet Event, with the award for Innovation in Service, Maintenance and Repair (SMR).

The Great British Fleet Awards celebrate fleets, fleet management suppliers and manufacturers across Great Britain who are making significant strides in the fleet industry. Hosted by Fleet World, the awards are judged by their team of editors and honour excellence in fleet management in supporting fleets run, safer, greener and cost-effective vehicles.

For the second year in a row, ARI has claimed the Innovation in SMR award. This time for its portfolio management solution which is delivered through VESL (The Vehicle Economic Service Life). Utilising its depth of fleet data and in-house analysts, ARI calculates the optimal time to replace a vehicle based on actual customer data, its declining ownership cost and rising operating cost.

In response to the award, Rory Mackinnon, Sales Director for ARI in the UK, commented: “Customers are continually seeking new levels of transparency in their fleet and the ability to maximise their return on investment. Being able to give our customers the insight and agility to make the best decision for them is crucial in today’s shifting environment and we take this acknowledgement as a challenge to do even more for our customers in 2021 and beyond.”
