Southern Europe market assault from cfc solutions now underway

Fleet software market leader cfc solutions is continuing its expansion into overseas markets with the appointment of a major distributor to cover Southern Europe.

FleetGlobal, an extensive operation that provides a wide range of fleet data, e-commerce and consultancy products in Iberia, has become the authorised distributor for cfc products in Italy, Spain and Portugal.

The move follows the opening of the first ever cfc office in the United States last month, based in Torrence, California, which is intended to enable the company to develop a foothold in the US fleet market, the world’s largest.

cfc is also expanding its operations in Northern Europe with a specialist sales and marketing offensive well underway based at its Birmingham head office, which is currently targeting Germany.

Andy Leech, sales and marketing director at cfc, said: While we already have a presence with users in all of these countries, it is a key part of our five year plan to make worthwhile inroads into developing fleet markets.

We are especially pleased to welcome FleetGlobal as a partner in Italy, Spain and Portugal. They are a well-established company with an excellent track record in the fleet market in these countries, and our products are a good fit with their existing range.

Initially, we expect to target the vehicle leasing sector in these countries but we also believe that there is considerable scope for corporate and public sector fleet sales and we’ll be working closely with FleetGlobal to develop these.

Rui Nascimento, FleetGlobal administrator, added: ìWe are very pleased with this partnership, as it will allow us to complement our range of products, offering revolutionary software solutions in the South European Market. Iím sure that it will be a success in our market, as well.î
