Nexus’ Iris™ platform is now fully operational across Ireland
For over 25 years, Nexus has been building a platform that gives businesses genuine control over vehicle rental. A supplier network that delivers at scale. A technology-led approach that removes the complexity that too often sits at the heart of rental management. And a team that understands the operational realities fleet, procurement and HR teams face every day.
Today, we’re announcing that our Iris™ platform is fully operational across Ireland, bringing that proven capability to Irish organisations and completing a platform that now serves businesses seamlessly across the UK and Ireland.
Here’s what that means for rental management across both markets
Nexus has been active in Ireland for some time. What’s changed is the scope of what we’re now able to offer. Irish organisations can now access the full Iris™ platform, the same enterprise-grade rental management solution that UK businesses have relied on for over two decades, fully localised for the Irish market and built to address the specific needs and challenges of Irish rental management.
That distinction matters. This isn’t a new proposition being tested in a new market. It’s an established platform, proven at scale, now complete across both markets.
The numbers speak to that maturity. Over 585,000 vehicles across the UK and Ireland. More than 300 supply partners. 2,000 vehicle branches. 24/7 booking and support. A business that has invested significantly in technology, AI integration and operational infrastructure, not because we’re preparing to grow, but because we already have.
What Iris™ delivers for Irish organisations
The version of Iris™ available in Ireland has been developed specifically to fit the needs of the Irish rental market. For fleet, procurement and operations teams, that means:
- Complete visibility across vehicles, suppliers and spend in real time
- Euro invoicing with full Irish VAT compliance
- A simple, consistent end-to-end process from booking to off-hire
- Access to a supply network built for speed, availability and control
For organisations already managing rental across the UK and Ireland, it means something more. A single platform capable of delivering unified visibility, governance and reporting across both markets, without the fragmentation that comes from managing two separate processes.
Why now?
The case for better rental management has never been stronger. For businesses operating across the UK and Ireland, the challenge isn’t access to vehicles. It’s the process sitting around that access. Bookings managed reactively, spend that’s hard to see in real time, extensions handled by phone, and invoices that arrive late, in different formats, from different suppliers.
Each inefficiency feels manageable in isolation. Together, they represent a significant and largely unmeasured cost, in time, in spend visibility, and in the governance risk that comes from rental activity that isn’t properly tracked or controlled.
Iris™ was built to solve exactly that problem. And it now solves it across both markets.
A word from our CEO
Scott Haddow, Chief Executive Officer at Nexus, reflects on what today’s announcement represents:
“Expanding our rental management service into Ireland marks an important milestone for the business and our first step beyond the UK. It’s a move we’ve taken strategically, built on a strong, proven platform, trusted customer relationships, and a clear understanding of where we can add real value.
This progress is the result of sustained hard work across the company, from product and technology to operations, commercial and finance, as well as the strength of our supplier partnerships. I’m incredibly proud of the teams who have made this possible.
We’re excited to bring our tech-led, people-focused approach to Irish businesses, and to support them with the same reliability and service standards we are renowned for.”
