Contract Win with Leading French Transport Company

Further progress in international expansion strategy with £1.35m contract win

 

 

Microlise Group plc (AIM: SAAS), a leading provider of SaaS based transport
technology solutions to fleet operators, is pleased to announce a significant
new partnership with Société de Transports Alimentaires et Frigorifiques
(STAF), a leading player in the transport of mass distribution and agri-food
in France. The 5-year contract, with a contract value of £1.35m, builds on
Microlise's international expansion strategy by increasing the Company's
presence in France.

 

STAF, a family-founded business since 1969, has chosen Microlise to enhance
operational efficiency and customer experience through a suite of solutions.
These include comprehensive temperature audit reports per trip, real-time
actionable data to improve vehicle performance and driver behaviour, and
complete route visibility with accurate arrival and departure times. Key
components such as Journey Management, ePOD, Telematics and Safety, and
real-time traffic navigation modules will be deployed across STAF's fleet.

 

Microlise was awarded the contract following a competitive tender process,
with its market leading single modular, scalable platform offering being the
key factor in its success.

 

The contract win follows on from recent successes in Australia and New
Zealand, in executing Microlise's international growth strategy. The contract
significantly expands the Company's presence in France and is the Company's
first third-party logistics (3PL) customer in the region.

 

Embarek Mendjel, Managing Director of STAF, added: "STAF was looking for a
partner with an 'all-in-one' solution to make a significant upgrade from what
we were using before. The Microlise solution allows us to track our vehicles,
track all of our temperature data, monitor driving behaviour, manage all the
delivery processes whilst being flexible to our needs, all within the single
platform and with a single supplier. In addition, API management allows us to
access important data for the daily management of our activities and to
communicate the right information at the right times to our supermarket
shipper customers. We look forward to bringing this project to life this
summer, working closely with the Microlise teams."

 

Nadeem Raza, CEO of Microlise, commented: "We are thrilled to partner with
STAF, a respected leader in the French transport sector. Our advanced
solutions will enable STAF to optimise its operations and deliver exceptional
service to its customers. This partnership underscores our success in
delivering against our strategic goals of international expansion and the
provision of market-leading cutting-edge technology. STAF is one of the
leading and most recognisable brands in the 3PL dominated French market,
providing a strong foothold to continue our expansion."
