A new internet-based mobile service solution gives drivers instant access to their head office fleet management computer mainframe system in real time using their smart phone or PDA.
Chevin Fleet Solutions’ browser-based multi vehicle Fleet Management software, FleetWave is used by client fleets totalling tens of thousands of vehicles across Australia.

Using its uniquely flexible bespoke fleet management software, Chevin has the ability to deliver software solutions to meet any organisation’s specific fleet requirements – whether managing 20 or 200,000 vehicles.
Chevin’s global clients include such prestige organisations as the United Nations World Food Programme, the New York State Police Department and the Smithsonian Institute, who already deploy the state of the art enterprise fleet management software solution.
Australian clients include Abigroup Construction, Volkswagen, NSW Rural Fire Service, Cadbury Schweppes, Hitachi Construction Machines, Blue Mountains City Council and RSL Care.
Chevin provides fleet solutions to the public, utility and corporate sectors as well as government and NGO operations of every size.
Apart from Australia, Chevin also has offices in the UK, North America and the Republic of Ireland.
Using the new application, any driver with a PDA or Smartphone with access to the internet via Windows Mobile can log on to dedicated PDA pages of FleetWave.
This includes functionality such as:
•
Access to home pages with important dates (Service/Inspection reminders) and important contact numbers (e.g. breakdown, windscreen replacement, service contact numbers etc.)
•
Access Driver Trips to record details of business journeys, work tasks, client visits or service calls
•
The ability to report an incident, capturing 3rd party details and times, even pictures if the hardware has a camera.
•
Task allocation system which allows service calls (e.g. client pick up, sweep a road, site visit, etc.) to be allocated to a specific user and progress tracked, with customisation options to allow each clients individual requirements to be fully met.
•
Stock Control options for barcode readers to allow wireless stores control, stock counting and receipting.
•
Daily Driver Inspection checks, with real-time visibility for the Fleet Manager showing which vehicles have, or have not, been inspected. The need to record Daily Driver Inspections, even when no defects are found, is generally seen as best-practice by various government agencies
