Microlise Group plc announced a significant new partnership with Société de Transports Alimentaires et Frigorifiques. The 5-year contract, with a contract value of £1.35 million, builds on Microlise's international expansion strategy by increasing the Company's presence in France. STAF has chosen Microlise to enhance operational efficiency and customer experience through a suite of solutions.

These include comprehensive temperature audit reports per trip, real-time actionable data to improve vehicle performance and driver behaviour, and complete route visibility with accurate arrival and departure times. Key components such as Journey Management, ePOD, Telematics and Safety, and real-time traffic navigation modules will be deployed across STAF's fleet. Microlise was awarded the contract following a competitive tender process, with its market leading single modular, scalable platform offering being the key factor in its success.

The contract win follows on from recent successes in Australia and New Zealand, in executing Microlise's international growth strategy. The contract significantly expands the Company's presence in France and is the Company's first third-party logistics (3PL) customer in the region.
