GAP Group buys €2m asset system

Tool and plant hire company the GAP Group has signed a €2m deal to implement an inventory system between its 55 depots.

Intentia, the manufacturing software consultancy which won the contract, is to build and support the system for asset management and cash collection before it goes live in October this year.

The GAP Group, which rents out a range of building equipment from half-inch drills to nine tonne dumpers, said it wants the project to increase its revenue by improving customer service.

Andrew Stewart, financial director at the company, said in a statement: "In our business, personal dedication to each customer is key. We're confident that implementing [this] will ensure that this focus on our customers will not be compromised."
