Chevin Fleet Solutions recently signed an agreement with the City of Boston to provide its web-based enterprise fleet-management software to support the city’s strategic fleet management initiatives and help the central fleet management team deliver significant ongoing cost savings.
Having previously used an inflexible maintenance management system, the city recognized the need to streamline repetitive processes, and also capture and store complete fleet related data centrally while supporting remote access for is departmental customers across the city.
Once deployed, the FleetWave system will give the city’s central fleet management greater control over its operations by automating workshop repair and maintenance scheduling, and by providing enhanced integration with its on-site parts supplier NAPA, while streamlining the city’s monthly billing process.
In addition, FleetWave will automatically integrate with the city’s fuel-management system to ensure that the high cost area is effectively tracked and exceptions flagged for management review.
Commenting on the partnership, Ron Katz, Chevin senior vice president of North American sales, said, “FleetWave’s unique asset-centric architecture will support the city of Boston’s complex equipment requirements, while allowing the DPW team to improve preventive maintenance and compliance oversight. FleetWave’s native ability to integrate with third-party systems like NAPA’s proprietary store management system, and the E. J. Ward fuel-management system will also help the city achieve its goal of proactively maintaining their inventory as well as sustainable fleet operations."
Boston maintains a diverse municipal fleet of approximately 1,200 pieces of equipment, off-road, and support vehicles, all of which will be managed using the FleetWave system.
Lift & Access is part of the Catalyst Communications Network publication family.
