Global fleet and leasing software solutions provider, Sofico, has completed the restructuring of its new French division, Sofico Services France, following the acquisition of French IT solutions company, Car Systems, nearly one year ago.
The company has now appointed Peter Tanghe as Director General of the new division with full responsibility for its future development and growth, and has begun implementing its global fleet solution, Miles, with French automotive customers.
The first implementation project involves French automotive company, Billiar, based at Sarrebourg in north eastern France. It operates a series of Renault dealerships as well as providing both short and long term rental solutions to private and corporate customers.
Belgium-based Sofico, whose systems now manage more than 1 million vehicles worldwide, first acquired Car Systems, which provides fleet software solutions for short and long term car, van and truck rental operators, last July. Based in Avignon, its business activities cover mainly France and southern Europe with a staff of around 20 employees.
The new head, Peter Tanghe, has a long track record with the company, having worked with Sofico for 15 years until taking up another challenge in 2012. At that time, he was head of the consultancy division.
Outside of Sofico, he worked for a non-automotive ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) solutions provider for nearly three years before rejoining as Director General of Sofico Services France.
