"As we seek to further develop pioneering new software projects that will provide fleet operators with a genuinely differential level of information and visibility, common across their whole fleet, the need for investment and a partner that could support our aspirations was critical. The partnership with YFM will support and accelerate these plans, along with providing additional and ongoing investment into our market leading aftersales service. One of the key drivers for partnering with YFM was a clear cultural fit and their appreciation of our ethos around customer excellence and the importance of ongoing innovation."
