Jaama Awards
HAPPY NEW YEAR FOR JAAMA WITH TOP INDUSTRY AWARD
Investment in easy-to-use, web-enabled high quality, reliable and fully-integrated fleet software solutions has resulted in Jaama winning its fifth Institute of Transport Management award in as many years.
The fast-growing fleet software and occupational road safety specialist has been named ‘Best UK Fleet Software Company’ for the third time having won the ‘Fleet Services Company’ award last year and being billed as the ITM’s ‘One to Watch’ in 2004, its launch year.
In enabling Jaama to kick-off 2008 in style, Patrick Sheedy, ITM media and PR director, said: “Jaama has an outstanding reputation for quality and value, combined with specifically designed software technology, and because of this is best qualified to advise its customers on how best to achieve both time and cost savings without compromising on service.
“By working with the industry’s largest and best known organisations, Jaama is in a prime position to address the wide ranging and often complex requirements of vehicle fleet operators or vehicle management companies. As a result Jaama has developed the solutions to walk its clients through the legislative process while controlling costs and enhancing their levels of customer service.
“In honouring Jaama once again, the ITM is paying tribute to a company which, through developments in web-based solutions has raised the overall technological and professional standards of the business of fleet operations and will better enable them to monitor measure and compare and contrast the performance of individual drivers and vehicles more effectively.”
Jaama now provides fleet management software solutions to a total of 14 contract hire and rental companies, including a dozen leasing firms operating more than 1,500 vehicles each.
Additionally, the company provides management software solutions to many of the UK’s top fleets including mobile phone group Phones4U, NVR Fleet UK, SIG Trading Limited, Smeg, Luton Council and the British Transport Police.
Last year, the company more than doubled its workforce as it further developed its £1 million world-class Key2 Vehicle Management software and associated modules.
Managing director Jason Francis said: “Jaama continues to win the largest and most significant fleet orders in the UK. Future growth will come from greater penetration into the leasing sector - both large operators and smaller specialist companies. We will also continue to grow our commercial vehicle fleet operators, distribution, logistics, public sector, engineering and construction customer base where we already have enjoyed significant success with some of the largest and most complex fleets in the country.”
As Mr Sheedy said: “By employing Key2 Vehicle Management, fleet operators can maximize fleet effectiveness. The management information supplied on every facet of fleet functionality is highly detailed and accurate allowing companies to be more proactive and analytical in their management.”
JAAMA NAMED FLEET SERVICES COMPANY 2007 BY ITM
Fast-growing fleet software and occupational road safety specialist Jaama has added to its reputation for being a one-stop shop for a wide range of vehicle management and driver solutions by being named ‘Fleet Services Company for 2007’ in awards presented by the Institute of Transport Management.
It is the fourth ITM award won by Jaama, which was established by a number of leading fleet industry experts in 2004. In its first year the company won the ITM’s ‘One to Watch’ Award and it has collected two ‘Best UK Fleet Software Company’ titles.
In announcing the latest Award to Jaama, Patrick Sheedy, ITM media and PR director, said: “Fleets eager to enjoy top-line growth must pay strict attention to bottom-line results and arrest the upward trend of operational costs lest they severely dampen the potential for profits. By employing Jaama to provide its full range of fleet services, fleet operators can be assured of an enhanced level of customer care leading to improved customer loyalty levels and increased profits.
“The awards show not only Jaama’s quest for development, but also the constantly high standards they set for their company.
“By branching out to provide an extensive range of services, which include not only fleet management software but also contract hire and rental provision, driver risk management and licence checking services, Jaama has been pursuing an extensive growth strategy with a strong customer focus. Their service offering allows customers, ease of use, speedier handling, and more convenience overall.
“Companies need to offer a distinctive and quality product that will encourage customer retention and brand loyalty. Jaama provides a tailor-made package, branded in the client’s name, constantly evolving to keep pace with the ever-changing corporate environment, and always employing the very latest in technology.”
Jaama’s major customers include mobile phone group Phones4U, Newtown Vehicle Rentals, SIG Trading Limited, Smeg and the British Transport Police.
West Midlands-based Jaama has taken the car and commercial fleet management market by storm with its unique combination of sophisticated web-based vehicle management software and risk management services and its business success will this year see the company move into larger premises and double its workforce.
Managing director Jason Francis said: “The accolades from the Institute underline the new cutting-edge thinking and developments that Jaama has bought to fleet management software. The technology breakthroughs that we have brought forward are designed to improve fleet operating efficiencies and effectiveness and simultaneously allow fleet decision-makers to be far more strategic in their job and less process-driven.”
