FleetWave software impresses at Dorset council 29 August 2013

Dorset County Council's Highways Operations' fleet management and maintenance service – Fleet Services – has been reaping the benefits of Chevin's web-based fleet software system.

Prior to installing FleetWave to manage its vehicles, Fleet Services was using an in-house system to handle operations across two main workshops and six outlying depots.

However, senior fleet technical officer Emily Smith explains that the organisation needed to increase its insight, particularly around workshop performance and fleet costs.

"The County Council looked at a number of systems on the market and, following a robust procurement exercise, chose FleetWave," says Smith.

"It stood out as being user friendly and flexible, with the ability to modify the system with limited IT knowledge," she explains.

"FleetWave has now been in place for over eight months and we are very pleased with the degree of visibility and reporting functionality it provides," she adds.

Smith says there are now plans to increase reporting capabilities by adopting other software modules. "This will help us manage, among other things, our specialist plant assets and fleet finances – and enhance our driver information," she asserts.
