Octopus Electric Vehicles has implemented Jaama’s Key2 asset management software, supporting ambitious fleet growth aspirations.

Octopus Electric Vehicles is using Key2 asset management software to manage the day-to-day running of its leasing and salary sacrifice fleet

Octopus runs an all-electric leasing and salary sacrifice fleet in the UK and is using Key2 to manage the day-to-day running of the vehicles on the back-end; from enabling drivers to generate quotes through to interacting with remarketing suppliers for vehicle disposal.

A key factor in choosing the solution was the option of direct API integration with Jaama’s Key2 platform, enabling Octopus Electric Vehicles to continue to own and run its front-end customer experience.

Key2 provides a seamless transition of onboarding the driver and managing their in-life requirements from servicing and MOTs to tyres and accident management.

The system also provides Octopus with a comprehensive range of reports, enabling it to manage its fleet more efficiently.

Forthcoming features will enable EV maintenance data to be imported into the system and also allow Octopus to provide integrated insurance quotes.

All system implementation was delivered by Jaama via MS Teams during lockdown in late 2020/early 2021 and there are now more than 50 Octopus colleagues now actively using Key2, including commercial operations director, Chris Joyce.

He said: “Key2 is a proven platform, and it is more advanced than its competitors when dealing with EVs. Its Signable electronic document signing proposition is impressive, being ahead of the other solutions, and the Leaselink integration efficiently connects dealers and OEMs for new car supply.

“Overall Jaama’s Key2 provides us with the perfect fleet management software proposition,” he added.

Martin Evans, managing director of Jaama, continued: “We are very proud to announce Octopus as our newest Key2 user. Octopus has some very ambitious plans in place, and we are excited it has appointed Jaama as a partner to help deliver these over the coming years.”
