Better fleet data management provided

ORIX Australia is automating the management of more than 34,500 vehicles for Australian organisations by synchronising its operations with the Dell Boomi integration platform.

“The market is driving ORIX to provide more and more digital services as the organisations we work with expect efficient tools for their own operations,” ORIX technology and innovation general manager Richard Hilliard says.

“When we looked at how we would achieve this, it became clear a strong data model underpinned by powerful integration would be central to delivering to these customer demands.”

With a unified data environment, ORIX is improving the purchasing and financing experience of local customers, while also helping it deploy new services three times faster and reduce integration costs fivefold.

ORIX deployed Boomi’s integration platform-as-a-service (iPaaS) to connect its entire application and data environment.

Boomi serves as the core engine for any data exchange for the company and its customers by linking its fleet management system, Salesforce customer relationship management (CRM) and a number of bespoke applications into a single data hub for a reliable source of readily-accessible information.

“Boomi gives us internal process efficiency so we can easily manage large volumes of fleets for our customers,” Hilliard says.

“It has also underpinned new services, including a critical portal for the Australian SMEs which need added expertise in financing so they can run their businesses without a hitch.”

Boomi gives ORIX a ‘best of both worlds’ deployment model, with its development environment in the cloud, and all operational elements on premises. Having its development decoupled makes code deployment simple and removes the need to introduce additional infrastructure, therefore reducing both opex and capex.

As a result, ORIX has been able to develop and launch a new vehicle acquisition and financing service, MOOV, designed specifically for SMEs so they can focus on their core business while ensuring critical documentation is completed accurately.

With a strong mobile roadmap, ORIX will also use Boomi to manage data from future applications to consolidate and streamline the purchasing and financing process for its customers.

“Managing data associated with more than 34,500 vehicles can be a messy feat, particularly if that information is dispersed and inconsistent,” Dell Boomi APJ managing director Michael Evans says.

“Having consolidated its applications within an easy-to-use integration platform, ORIX has quick access to reliable data with a few clicks. This means it can provide services much faster, while also minimising operational costs and therefore freeing up resources to provide even greater value to its customers.”
