Chevin Fleet Solutions 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.
According to Chevin, Boston previously used an “inflexible maintenance management system.” It chose Chevin because it needed to streamline its processes, 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 allow Boston’s Central Fleet Management to automate workshop repair and maintenance scheduling, provide enhanced integration with its onsite parts supplier NAPA and streamline the city’s monthly billing process, according to Chevin. In addition, FleetWave will automatically integrate with the City’s E. J. Ward fuel management system to ensure this high-cost area is effectively tracked and exceptions flagged for management review.
“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,” Ron Katz, senior vice president, North American sales, said. “FleetWave’s native ability to integrate with third-party systems like NAPA’s proprietary store management system—TAMS 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.
“We’re delighted to welcome the city of Boston on-board and look forward to delivering fantastic results over the coming months and years,” he added.
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, said Chevin.
