The Hireman Limited Modernises Operations with PHALANX 6 from Spartan Solutions Ltd
Glasgow, May 22, 2025 – The Hireman, a well-known equipment hire business with over 40 years of experience, is working with Spartan Solutions to improve efficiency and increase profitability by using PHALANX 6 — rental operations software that cuts admin and speeds up the job.
The Hireman is now using PHALANX 6 to manage transport planning, picking, delivery, and collections. Yard inspections, workshop service, and testing are coming soon. The result is improved visibility, reduced delays, and more consistent service across every job.
PHALANX works alongside The Hireman’s existing Syrinx Hire Software, ensuring hire desk, planners, drivers, and yard staff are all connected with up-to-date information. Photos, usage charges and customer signatures are captured on mobile devices, even when drivers are offline. This cuts admin, speeds up invoicing, and gets equipment back into use quicker, improving availability and revenue.
David Porter, Finance Director at The Hireman, said:
“The hire industry is particularly fast moving and relies on capturing and sharing accurate, timely information from the field. PHALANX 6 ensures that our processes — from planning deliveries to unloading collections — are fully digital and consistently followed.”
“The flexibility of PHALANX 6 matches how we work, while the system’s reliability gives us confidence that critical data is always captured, even when drivers are offline. That means fewer delays, less duplication, and faster invoicing, which cuts costs and lets us run more efficiently.”
“The Spartan team from top to bottom have been exceptional, and remained committed to achieving the required outcome, embracing a collaborative but structured approach to do so.”
Jim Green, CEO of Spartan Solutions, said:
“Rental firms are under pressure to do more with less. PHALANX 6 delivers the control and efficiency that helps protect the bottom line.”
“We are proud to support The Hireman’s move to fully digital rental operations with PHALANX 6. By digitising every step of the rental process, PHALANX 6 improves visibility, enhances data quality, and removes the risk of lost information.”
“The combination of flexibility, reliability, and ease of use makes PHALANX 6 the ideal solution for forward-thinking rental companies like The Hireman.”
