Dec 99 - Tranman Solutions awarded largest ever contract - The British Army
TRANMAN Solutions Ltd have been awarded a contract for the provision of a Motor Transport System (MTSYS) to address the 'Transport Requests' requirements of the British Army. The new system will be rolled out to 3000 users world-wide located in more than 300 units.
TRANMAN will be providing a customised solution to support the scheduling of resources to meet 'Transport Requests' to move personnel or material. The system will be responsible for the tasking of 35,000 Green Fleet vehicles ranging from cars, vans, lorries and coaches to fire fighting equipment, motorbikes and skidoos. User defined entry criteria allows users to enter the system and place a request for one or many types of transport into the system. A transport availability screen allows an overview of the number, type, location and status of available vehicles as well as a drill down function that allows users to receive information relating to the vehicle in question.
The project is being managed from the company's Birmingham office, where work is proceeding to plan. Standard software has already been installed to enable familiarisation and the customised modules were delivered on schedule at the end of November 1999.
The contract is believed to be the largest awarded to a Fleet Management Software company. Project costs are estimated at more than £5 million and TRANMAN Solutions will play a significant role in delivering the business benefit to justify the investment.
George Webb, Managing director of TRANMAN Solutions says, "The Army brief was to find the best 'Commercial off the shelf' fleet system from a supplier providing the correct technology platform and a track record of being able to deliver customised solutions 'on-time and with quality'. The fact that they chose TRANMAN Solutions as their business partner is an honour we take very seriously".
TRANMAN feel they were assisted in winning the contract by the excellent reputation they have built up in the provision of public sector systems over the last 10 years. They are the undisputed market leaders in the provision of new fleet systems to Defence, Emergency services and Local Government.
Sep 99 - Local agents appointed for SE Asia, Australia and New Zealand
Following visits to Australia and Hong Kong, Tranman Solutions now have authorised agents for their Fleet Management systems in both countries. Agreements have been signed with Walker Environmental Technology Ltd of Hong Kong and Quality Distribution Systems of Victoria, Australia.
Local agents have already been established in the Middle East and Africa and an initial visit has been arranged to America for December 1999 to facilitate market testing and potential distributor evaluation.
Lucy Caudle, Marketing Manager at TMS said "Interest for our products in these markets has increased significantly with use of the World Wide Web, by signing distributors we are able to expand the business on an international level and meet the growing demand for our products. It was important for us to establish local representation in these areas to ensure we can continue to facilitate sales and support of our products at the same standards as we offer in the UK".
Sep 99 - New contract with Thorntons Plc
Thorntons Plc recently selected Tranman Solutions' mid-range Fleet Management System FM2000 to manage their fleet of 50 vehicles and trailers. The system is maintained by both administration and workshop staff and is run on a Microsoft NT network.
The fully refrigerated fleet delivers both frozen and ambient products to 500 outlets throughout the U.K, running up in excess of 1.5 million miles per year. The maintenance of the fleet is carried out in–house at the company's new purpose built distribution centre in Somercotes, Derbyshire. The primary reason for purchasing the system was to manage their vehicle workshop.
John Bell, the Traffic Administrator at Thornton's said "We looked at 1 or 2 systems on the market both home and abroad, but the comprehensive Workshop Module of the FM2000 matched our requirements. Price and capability was paramount to the purchasing decision, we now have a fully integrated package, with full support at a competitive price."
