Flannery partners with Hiboo on telematics integration

Flannery’s Faresin electric telehandler

UK rental company Flannery Plant Hire has partnered with French telematics and data management specialist Hiboo, in a move it said is aimed at enhancing connectivity, efficiency, and customer service.

The new system will provide Flannery customers with a single, intuitive dashboard for monitoring all hired assets, regardless of machine brand, alongside faster performance, real-time data access, and customisable workspaces tailored to specific project needs.

Additional features include enhanced ADI’s and data fields for seamless integration, automated email reports with actionable insights, and built-in support tools to give users greater autonomy.

Flannery said the partnership “highlights our commitment to innovation and excellence” and reflects continued investment in digital plant solutions that give customers “greater control, improved visibility, and data that drives performance.”

For Hiboo, the Flannery agreement marks further growth in the UK rental market, following its recent three-year deal with Blackwood Plant Hire and a separate agreement with French rental company DRON Location.

The company also partnered with Halomec in October 2024 to support its activities in the UK and Ireland.

Hiboo’s platform aggregates telematics data from multiple brands, offering a unified, real-time view of fleet activity to support maintenance, transport, carbon tracking, and operational decision-making.
