The Miles Consultancy and business mobility company Alphabet will extend their partnership to work together on a range of new mobility tools and solutions.
Connected car-based solutions and mobile payments are among the development areas included in the agreement.
Alphabet currently incorporates a number of TMC services in its suite of mobility and fleet management solutions. They include mileage and fuel data capture, audit and reporting and elements of Alphabet’s E-Valuation electric vehicle deployment tool.
TMC also provides one-touch GPS journey logging, which was one of several recent enhancements to the AlphaGuide smartphone app.
