Bee Plant Hire, based in Fareham on the south coast of England, is a growing and forward-thinking plant hire company. With an expanding customer base and a fleet to match, Managing Director Glen Fletcher knew it was time to upgrade from manual processes and disconnected systems.
After exploring several options, Glen and his team found their solution in Infobric Onlet. A platform purpose-built for the plant hire industry.
As Bee Plant Hire expanded, the challenges of running day to day operations became harder to ignore. Like many in the industry, Glen was juggling multiple systems for contracts, fleet tracking, servicing, and invoicing.
“We were using various systems including paper systems, emails etc and the trouble was none of them spoke to each other,” says Glen. “It worked when we were smaller, but as we grew it was holding us back.”
Simple tasks were taking too long. Important information was getting missed. And the team was spending more time chasing data than focusing on customers.
"It’s not just about efficiency. It’s the confidence it gives us and our customers. We know we’re compliant, the paperwork’s right, and the machines are where they need to be."– Glen Fletcher, Managing Director at Bee Plant Hire
Glen didn’t want to just digitalise for the sake of it. He wanted a platform that would improve how his business ran. After speaking with other hire companies and seeing Infobric Onlet in action, he quickly saw the value.
“What stood out straight away was how everything was in one place,” says Glen. “From quotes and contracts to tracking, servicing and transport and deliveries – it actually worked the way we wanted it to.”
With Onlet, Bee Plant Hire have moved away from manual compliance tracking, reduced their admin, and got better visibility of its growing fleet, all from one dashboard.
By switching to Infobric Onlet, Bee Plant Hire got a single platform that handles the full rental cycle from start to finish – including compliance, servicing, and asset visibility. The impact was immediate:
“It’s not just about efficiency,” Glen explains. “It’s the confidence it gives us and our customers. We know we’re compliant, the paperwork’s right, and the machines are where they need to be.”
"With Onlet, we’re not just keeping up, we’re staying ahead."– Glen Fletcher, Managing Director at Bee Plant Hire
For Glen, Onlet isn’t just a digital tool. It’s a long-term partner for scaling the business in a controlled way.
“We’re still a hands on business we know our kit, and we know our customers. But we also knew we needed the right system to scale,” he says. “Onlet lets us grow without losing control.”
“We received amazing support and training from the Infobric team in our onboarding and that continues as we use the platform to its full potential. It truly is a partnership”
Glen is confident Bee Plant Hire is in a strong position. “With Onlet, we’re not just keeping up, we’re staying ahead.”
