Speedy launches first plant rental iPhone app 18 January 2012

Speedy has become the first equipment hire and support services company to release an app for the iPhone that helps plant engineers and managers to access their depots while on the move.

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 a bid to help users access information about Speedy's 325 branches.

He says it is now available for download from the app store and adds states that there are also 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 need to get hold of the right equipment at short notice," explains McIntyre.

"This app solves this problem by allowing users to have all the latest Speedy depot information at their fingertips."
