Background: The OEM did not have a national platform to manage their internal company vehicles and was looking for a platform to host this information with users across the country that needed to be able to view and update vehicle files.

How we did it: Penske Vehicle Services studied the system in place and then reviewed the OEM's objectives,priorities and business requirements. After completing a thorough analysis, Penske Vehicle Services customized its proprietary fleet management software meeting the client's needs. After working through the development and testing phase, a national platform was available within 6 months and additional functionality has continued to be built in as the OEM identifies additional needs.
