CBVC has announced that it now has over 1,500 vehicles using its
innovative fleet management solution for SMEs, which is based on
FleetWave software from Chevin Fleet Solutions.
CBVC is harnessing the full power of FleetWave to allow
companies with anything from 2 to 250 cars better manage their
vehicle fleets, as well as any other assets they may want to keep a
close eye on.
The CBVC service brings huge benefits to many businesses, made
possible by the fantastic versatility of the FleetWave platform, as
CBVC director Michael Manners explains: "Our product is
specifically aimed at companies who have sufficient vehicles to
create a headache, yet cannot justify the cost of a full time Fleet
Manager. It's amazing how many times we speak to a company where
the vehicle fleet is managed by the MD's secretary - it's just a
natural consequence of a business growing organically. The
secretary is usually doing a decent job, but we provide a
professional Fleet Manager on a part time basis, and back them up
with state of the art technology from Chevin".
"The Chevin system is totally scalable and allows us to manage
the fleets of multiple users with multiple cost centres. Clients
have internet access to their data 24/7. It also lets us filter out
non-critical data and set controls to give our clients access to
the parts of the system most relevant to them."
On a 150 vehicle fleet, CBVC can show instant savings in excess
of 50% of the £40-£60k pa required to employ and equip
a Fleet Manager. CBVC also adds continuing value by constantly
updating its fleet management training and software programmes to
keep up with the latest developments in legislation and best
practice. This usually comes at no extra cost to the client.
"Our Fleet team assist clients' management in taking highly
complex decisions by accurately interpreting the data from
FleetWave", added Manners. "Without this advantage, decisions are
often taken using partial information. The Deritend Group from
Wolverhampton, for instance, saved £70k in the first year and
bought their fleet under much closer control."
CBVC has now worked closely with Chevin for over 7 years, and
both businesses see the relationship as very much a two-way
process. CBVC's feedback "from the shop floor" having actively
assisted in the evolution of FleetWave.
