The e-commerce provider epyx is changing its approach to fleet remarketing by offering its services in a modular mix and match approach.

Based on technology from the company’s 1link Disposal Network platform, the eight new modules have been launched in response to the changed market conditions following the pandemic. The modules provide a more bespoke offering tailored to customer requirements, rather than customers needing to take the entire 1link platform.

The eight modules are: Sales Booster, Logistics Organiser, Inspector, Damage Recharger, Auction Operator, Task Manager, Online Sales Simplifier and Data Analyser.

Commercial director of the FLEETCOR Technologies’ owned firm, Debbie Fox, said: “These modules provide the means for fleets to take control of their defleet digitization in exactly the manner they desire. While the final shape of the new normal is very much in flux, they make the right technology available at all times.”

Fox said that the pandemic had accelerated digitization and had allowed businesses time to rethink their defleet remarketing strategies based around technology usage.

She added: “Not all fleets required our entire 1link Disposal Network to implement these new strategies, so we have reacted by making key elements available on a modular basis, allowing existing and potential customers to access the exact digital tools they require.

“The eight module range means fleets can, on one hand, stay on top of their remarketing program, minimize administration and maintain relationships with partners while, on the other, identify new opportunities, use data more strategically and develop insights.”
