epyx provides new technology to the automotive industry, leveraging the considerable expertise of a team of people who have operated in the automotive software development environment and motor distribution sector for most of their lives.

The development personnel have been responsible for the production of key software solutions within the industry. Directors have all held senior automotive industry positions and are highly capable and proven business managers, with significant industry relationships. The technical team consists of senior development staff from the automotive software industry.

epyx views its team as its most valuable resource and by attracting individuals of the highest calibre it can provide its customers with the most effective e-business solutions available in the automotive sector today.

With the success that epyx has enjoyed in the UK, plans have now reached fruition to deploy their successful products into key European and international fleet markets. The office and team are now up and running in Frankfurt, Germany, and in Paris, France. Operations in Spain will commence shortly.

The move into Europe has been prompted largely by existing UK large fleet users of 1link fleet
e-commerce products, many of which operate on a pan-European basis, along with vehicle manufacturers.

epyx has always had plans to operate 1link in all major European and international fleet markets, the speed of this move has been customer-driven. Fleets recognise the savings through 1link in the UK and want to expand its availability right across Europe, and more recently into Australia.

With 1link established as the e-commerce standard for the motor industry in the UK, the obvious next step is to look at other major European and international markets. This will enable epyx to increase the efficiencies of both existing 1link customers who have pan-European operations and also to seek new customers on an international basis.

Ultimately, the aim is to make 1link the processing standard for the motor industry internationally. Established as a success in the UK, initial indications from our European, and international partners are looking extremely encouraging.

Today’s businesses have come to understand that there is no longer a need to commit to heavy investment in new software solutions, and then be tied to such systems indefinitely. The clear alternative is the opportunity to share common platforms with other companies looking to achieve similar business objectives through ‘community-based’ solutions. Enter 1link, a portfolio of software platforms deployed centrally and designed to facilitate the procurement of services for the automotive industry through easily accessible technology.

By offering complete e-commerce platforms, we provide clients with the opportunity to remove the complicated process of putting together services involving numerous suppliers in a technically complex environment. By adhering to the same logic that credit card technology utilises, you encourage an infinite number of buyers and suppliers to transact through a single, common system. The 1link product portfolio uses this same principle to cover the critical stages in the typical lifecycle of a fleet vehicle.

1link is a true online solution, accessible to anyone with an internet connection and designed to provide access to the very latest technology through a low-cost, pay on use charging mechanism. Already well established, 1link is set to become the de facto standard for the leading fleets to procure products and services from their supplying networks through the creation of internet links. 1link delivers substantial reductions in administration and increases processing accuracy, thereby pushing down costs and raising service standards.
