U.K.’s Speedy Releases iPhone App
Speedy Hire, the U.K.’s largest tool and equipment rental company has released an app for the iPhone that helps customers access Speedy’s branches anywhere in the country. The app has GPS functionality, allowing engineers to quickly find Speedy branches based on their location via Google maps. Technicians can also manually search for a branch by specifying products or services.
Steve McIntyre, group marketing director at Speedy, says the firm developed the app with digital marketing agency Tecmark in an effort to help users access information about the company’s 325 branches.
McIntyre said the app is now available for download from the app store and added that there are plans to develop an Android version.
“Contractors often work at a variety of sites and the nature of the work they undertake can sometimes be unpredictable, meaning they have to get hold of the right equipment at short notice,” he said. “This app solves this problem by allowing users to have all the latest Speedy depot information at their fingertips.”
