GearJoT brings its fleet management platform to UK plant after a Stevens pilot

After a three year pilot with Stevens Equipment Rental, the fleet management platform is launching to UK contractors, rental firms and dealers.

Fleet management platform GearJoT is entering the wider UK construction and materials extraction market, following a close three year collaboration with heavy plant hire specialist Stevens Equipment Rental.

Tested on a real fleet

As Stevens Equipment Rental expanded its fleet and footprint, the business needed a single asset management solution to keep maintenance and service history in one place. That pilot helped test and refine the GearJoT platform before its UK launch.

The system is aimed at contractors, rental companies and dealers that run mixed fleets and want to manage them more efficiently.

A partnership, not just a product

GearJoT founder and chief executive David Macfarlan built the platform from a background in the used equipment sector, focusing on the complete maintenance and service history of every asset.

Stevens Equipment Rental managing director Andrew Stevens, who leads the family business, used the rollout to bring a more connected approach to fleet management across its operations.

What this means for commercial teams

  • As fleet and asset technology spreads through plant and rental, suppliers need commercial people who can sell software and service, not only machines.
  • Buyers adopting connected platforms increasingly expect salespeople who understand both the equipment and the data behind it.
