Persimmon Homes

Overview

Persimmon Homes, a major UK housebuilder with a fleet of over 900 vehicles, needed to optimise its rental solution to tackle a nationwide shortage of light commercial vehicles.

Challenge

Facing delays in vehicle delivery, maintenance issues, and difficulty coordinating across its 36 regional sites, Persimmon needed a nationwide rental partner to help with these specific challenges and supply online bookings.

Solution

Since 2010, Nexus has connected Persimmon with the UK’s largest network of rental suppliers. Covering all 36 sites, Persimmon now secures fixed rates, saving time and money while getting a consistent service.

Each Persimmon site benefits from real-time access to iris®, our industry-leading platform, which offers complete visibility, easy reporting, and control over spending for its individual sites. Regional insights are discussed on-site at Persimmon in quarterly meetings with our Strategic Account Manager, enhancing operational efficiency and driving long-term growth.

The benefits of Nexus, beyond that of a single rental supplier, are the depth of supply available, the reduction in rental costs, an excellent online reservation platform, and the first-tier challenge of rental damage charges that we just could not get from multiple suppliers
