GAP goes paper-free

GAP Group has announced plans to go paper-free by introducing software to digitise its operations. 

The Glasgow-based independent hire business is introducing a mobile solution called Phalanx from Spartan Solutions Ltd. 

It will be rolled out at the 146 depots and locations within GAP’s ten divisions, which comprise Plant, Tool, Lifting & TIC (testing, inspection and certification), Non-Mechanical, Trenching & Shoring, Welfare, Tanker Services, Survey & Safety, Event Services and Vehicle Hire.

Mark Anderson, GAP’s Managing Director North, said: “We selected Spartan because we were impressed by how much their software can help simplify and digitise our workshop processes. Phalanx will streamline tasks such as automatic customer billing on equipment return to depot."

He added that staff had expressed positive feedback regarding the software's ease of use, and that it gives improved customer service and increased productivity.

This new development will help GAP as it works towards its goal of becoming net-zero by 2040 at the latest.
