Aligning with CAM’s continued commitment to investing in talent and skills development, the company will be sponsoring up and coming racer Dan Zelos and his number 445 car for the duration of the 2019 season as he makes his full debut in the competitive Mini Challenge UK series.

As a driver, 20-year-old Dan has rapidly risen through the racing ranks and in the last few years has enjoyed success in both the Ginetta Junior Championship and the Renault UK Clio Cup as well as making a guest appearance in the 2018 Mini Challenge UK event at Brands Hatch, where he scored two podium finishes across three races.   

The sponsorship agreement will enable Dan to continue his ongoing driving development to achieve his goals of challenging for the Mini Challenge UK series title and reaching the British Touring Car Championship, the UK’s premier motorsport series.

Mike Allen, managing director at CAM, says, “Our aim is to nurture talent both internally and externally and Dan’s racing exploits have been on our radar over the last few years. We are delighted to be able to support him for the 2019 Mini Challenge UK season and to assist in his development on the road to the pinnacle of British racing, the British Touring Car Championship. We look forward to supporting him at several races throughout the season and are confident he will regularly end up on the podium.”

Motherwell-based Auchinlea Tyres Ltd is participating in CAM’s new fitter-force™ digital tablet technology to remove back office costs and inaccuracies associated with the manual completion of service work, while improving its customer service through operational responsiveness.

The SME is also going hosted with CAM Cloud.  The managed service will provide quality, hassle-free maintenance of its server and a backup solution for its Cameo system in CAM’s data centre, providing complete peace of mind.

Based on the e-jobsheet open-access, digital tablet-based service work exchange platform, fitter-force™
incorporates a diary system for effective resources (including mobile fitters) planning; job launch (to the e-jobsheet app); pricing; purchasing; stock control; invoicing and accounting.  It also includes a full featured point of sale capability and comprehensive views of customer service activities by account.

Donna Shelley, director at Auchinlea Tyres, says “When we saw the presentation about fitter-force™ we understood its benefits in presenting an end-to-end view of fleet service operations for small to medium-sized fleet tyre service operators like ourselves.  From work request through to job completion and subsequent payment, on a job-by-job basis, CAM’s technology solution will enable us to future-proof our business.”                                                                                                                                           

Mike Allen, managing director of CAM, adds, “Auchinlea is investing in its future to become fitter and more responsive.  Our easy-to-use software platform that is easily accessed via a rented, hosted arrangement, will provide the SME with an integrated system that meets all its field service and in-depot work requirements.” 

Buckinghamshire-based Tyreteam is investing in CAM technology for the first time by participating in its new fitter-force™ digital tablet technology.  The commitment will remove back office costs and inaccuracies associated with the manual completion of service work and enable the supplier of commercial and agricultural tyres to improve its customer service through operational responsiveness.

Based on the e-jobsheet open-access, digital tablet-based service work exchange platform, fitter-force™ incorporates a diary system for effective resources (including mobile fitters) planning; job launch (to the e-jobsheet app); pricing; purchasing; stock control; invoicing and accounting.  It also includes a full featured point of sale capability and comprehensive views of customer service activities by account.

Jim Waters at Tyreteam, says “We are a new customer to CAM and were impressed with its fitter-force™ presentation in providing suppliers like ourselves with a fully comprehensive view of fleet service operations, from work request through to job completion and subsequent payment.  We’re confident it will help us continue to improve our service to commercial and agricultural customers.” 

Mike Allen, managing director of CAM, adds, “Although Tyreteam is a new customer acquisition for CAM, we’re confident our easy-to-use software platform will enable the company to eradicate inefficiencies, improving its operations and customer service.”
