From then to now

Scott began Plant and Vehicle Services Ltd from a desire to provide the construction industry with an all-in-one telematics solution for truly mixed fleets of vehicles and machinery. The solution needed to bring live data into an easy-to-use single-sign-on platform, and it has excelled in more ways than we can count
