Scottish Police and Fire services select Civica Tranman for fleet management

Emergency services looking to make fleets more efficient while cutting costs

The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service and Police Scotland have selected Civica Tranman to improve efficiency of fleet management while reducing costs at the same time.

The two organisations both independently opted for Civica's fleet management solution in order to manage their respective vehicle fleets through methods including merging systems and integrating data.

In addition to this, police and fire service staff will be able to use Tranman's touchscreen technology to easily input data and provide instant visibility as to the current availability of the fleets.

"We needed a state-of-the-art system, using the latest technology, to enable us to standardise processes quickly across the new organisation, and ensure maximum efficiency in our operations," said Stewart Taylor, National Fleet Manager at Police Scotland on the decision to select Civica.

"Tranman proved to be the system that could not only deliver that now, but as a strategic partner over the long term," he added.

Police Scotland and The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service both believe that use of the technology will result in cost savings which will come in addition to the ability to integrate multiple large datasets into a single database.

The fact that Civica has carried out similar projects for other police forces including Norfolk and Suffolk Police, Kent and Essex Police also played a part in Police Scotland's decision to opt to use Tranman.

With Police Scotland and The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service opting to use Civica Tranman, it means all three Scottish emergency services are using the technology, with the Scottish Ambulance Service already having adopting it.
