Synergy Car Leasing and ODO agree Fleet Management Partnership

- ODO fleet management solution enables Synergy Car Leasing to expand their customer offering

LONDON, June 9, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- ODO, part of DRIVE Software Solutions, a leading provider of fleet management technology for the leasing, broker and dealer sectors, today announced it has signed an agreement with Synergy Car Leasing, recognised as the fastest growing vehicle Leasing Broker by the Leasing Broker Federation in 2019 targeting growth in the provision of Fleet Management services to its customer base.

The agreement provides Synergy with the ability to offer an end-to-end fleet management service to complement its well-established broker business. ODO's intuitive fleet management platform delivers three key benefits to businesses:

• Peace of Mind. ODO enables vehicles and drivers to remain compliant whilst also making it easy to deliver on duty of care responsibilities (Driver health / Driver safety etc) and giving confidence that any fraudulent activity is identified.
• Lower Fleet Costs through functionality that prevents end of lease surprises, reduces fuel and maintenance costs whilst also reducing down-time.
• A time saving driver App that empowers users to self-serve and manage vehicles efficiently with proactive prompts to identify and prioritise issues, key tasks and reporting. Drivers and those responsible for company vehicles can then concentrate on their day job whilst ODO & Synergy Car Leasing manage the fleet.

Paul Parkinson, CEO and founder of Synergy Car Leasing commented: "Our Customers efficiency and quality experience remains at the heart of all we do. Moving with the times over 14 years we recognise the right technology saves our customers time, and improving communication is key whilst continuing to offer real value for money."

"We are delighted to partner with ODO as we make the natural progression into a full-service Fleet Management offering. Having reviewed the market, ODO was a clear winner both from a functionality and ease of use perspective. It provides us and our clients with seamless, automated end-to-end fleet management solution."

Robert Gorby, Chief Commercial Officer for ODO, said: "Synergy are a leading light in the industry and with great ambitions to deliver an amazing experience for their clients. We're delighted they chose ODO and look forward to enabling them to create new revenue streams, improve their renewal rates and find even more time to inspire their customers."
