Managing Plant, equipment and HGV hire through separate suppliers costs more than most businesses realise. From manual reporting and fragmented invoices to time spent chasing compliance documentation across multiple contacts, the administrative burden quietly accumulates. Nexus Rental has built its new Plant, Equipment and HGV proposition to eliminate exactly that.
A single managed hire solution
Powered by Iris®, Nexus’s market-leading hire management platform, the proposition brings Plant, Equipment and HGV into one place: one team, one platform, and one invoice. Customers gain access to over 700,000 assets across 125+ suppliers and 650+ branches, with complete coverage across five categories: Site and Groundworks, Material Handling, HGV and Specialist Fleets, Access Equipment, and Site Setup and Welfare.
The hidden cost of managing hire separately
Nexus has identified a cost of approximately £50 to £75 per hire buried in procurement and operations overhead when businesses manage multiple suppliers independently. This covers time spent on sourcing, manual reporting, administration and escalations. It is a cost that rarely appears on a P&L, but it is real, and across a full hire estate it adds up fast. By consolidating through Nexus, that overhead is removed entirely
What Iris® delivers
It’s more than just a hire booking portal. The Iris® platform includes compliance management, damage claims workflows, self-service reporting, centralised invoice processing, and bespoke account configuration. For organisations with Responsible Business commitments, Iris® also provides emissions data across the entire hire estate, by asset, by supplier, and by site, alongside green booking preferences and access to electric, solar, hybrid, and zero-emissions equipment.
“This proposition is built on three things: a market-leading platform in Iris®, a supplier network that covers the entire UK, and a team of real Plant, Equipment and HGV experts managing the detail on behalf of our customers.” – Gerry McCaig, Chief Operating Officer, Nexus Rental
