Customer Challenge

  • Significant capital tied up in vehicle purchases
  • Unpredictable depreciation and resale challenges
  • Time-consuming fleet administration, maintenance, and compliance
  • Operational distractions pulling focus from their core business

“For a highly-specialised company on a growth trajectory such as ours, agility is key. The way we use our capital needs to be very strategic, to such an extent that using it for the ongoing purchase of company vehicles no longer made sense…”, Patrick Bourke, Eurogene.

Customer Solution

To solve this, Eurogene turned to NiftiBusiness for a fully outsourced vehicle leasing and fleet management solution. NiftiBusiness now handles everything from vehicle procurement and branding to maintenance, compliance, tolls, fines, and more – allowing Eurogene to offload operational complexity and shift to a predictable, cost-efficient leasing model.

Customer Impact

 “In addition to the financial benefits of vehicle leasing, it has also given us a managed life-cycle for our fleet. We now access high-quality, new vehicles every 3 to 4 years – which helps us to maintain our good reputation in the market-place, and keeps our team happy. Owning vehicles often makes you hold on to them longer than you probably should, and that creates challenges, in terms of maintenance for example, that we can do without.” Bourke further commented.

Partnering with NiftiBusiness has delivered tangible benefits for Eurogene:

  • Capital redirected to higher-value strategic priorities
  • Simplified operations with full fleet lifecycle management
  • Flexible, modern vehicles refreshed every 3–4 years
  • A more motivated, better-supported mobile team

By moving from an owned and managed fleet to leased fleet, Eurogene has gained the agility, financial clarity, and operational freedom needed to stay focused on what matters most – delivering value to their customers.
