May 2004 - Aviance implement Amicus VMS across UK fleet

In late 2002 Aviance UK Ltd, a UK based ground handling agent and subsidiary of the Go-Ahead Group PLC, looked at the potential of acquiring a comprehensive Telematics solution that would allow them greater control of their mobile assets, as well as increased accurate reporting facilities. In early 2003 Aviance UK signed a deal with Amicus VMS Ltd to supply their Amicus Vehicle Management System, as a pilot scheme to 30 of its new electric vehicles. Amicus VMS met all the requirements and far exceeded Aviance’s expectations, susequently this has led to the successful further roll out of over 220 units within UK opertaions by end of 2004.

Commenting on this, Bob Belither, UK Equipment Co-ordinator said “Amicus VMS has demonstrated that with the new electric vehicles fitted, the overall vehicle fleet size has been reduced and we can now monitor accurately the utilisation and productivity of our assets leading to increased profitability overall".
