Where did the project start?
The starting point
Preparation advice for commercial fleet inquiries went out by hand from the pickup and tipper hire firm, one rewritten email at a time. The wording drifted a little further with each sender.
The problem it caused
When it comes to commercial fleet inquiries, the notes drifted out of sync, and people arrived at the first conversation with very different ideas of what was needed.
What did we change on the site?
One maintained page covers vehicle class, operating area and hire period and gives an overview of fleet specifications and depot collection instructions. Online forms stay limited to initial inquiry details, with sensitive records handled through the approved internal process afterwards.

Handover
The change goes live and the team is walked through what is new and who looks after it.
10 working daysWhat changed for the team?
With commercial fleet inquiries, one link replaced a drifting set of emails. First discussions begin prepared, and the boundary around sensitive documents is explicit.
I point people to the commercial fleet inquiries guide and the explaining is done. No more hurried rewrites of the same email at four o'clock.
