FITCHBURG, Mass. — Fleet management software provider Chevin Fleet Solutions continues to prosper in North America and recently added HD Supply to their growing list of North American commercial clients.
HD Supply is one of North America’s largest wholesale distribution companies providing industrial products and services to companies in the Infrastructure, Energy, Maintenance, Repair & Improvement and Specialty Construction markets. With more than 800 locations, HD Supply manages and maintains a fleet of more than 11,000 pieces of equipment using Chevin’s flexible web-based enterprise fleet management information system, FleetWave.
Serving tens of thousands of customers through hundreds of distribution centers and branches, HD Supply can’t afford equipment downtime that will delay deliveries or continue to maintain vehicles with excessive operating costs. With FleetWave in place, HD Supply now captures and consolidates complete equipment lease, maintenance, fuel as well as utilization details into a single enterprise-wide solution, providing centralized visibility of all fleet running costs no matter how or where they’re incurred. With electronic integration to their full service lessors, HD Supply’s Logistics team now has the ability to compare and contrast lease costs, supplier performance as well as monthly fleet utilization details enabling them to maximize equipment productivity while eliminating redundant vehicles. With additional electronic integration to their maintenance and commercial fuel providers, HD Supply now has consolidated oversight of complete fleet operating details from acquisition through disposal, allowing the organization to continually refine their fleet management practices to drive out inefficiencies and reduce fleet spend.
With FleetWave now being deployed to HD Supply’s individual operating companies and business units, their cost centers are now able to view, manage and control their local fleet performance with uniquely tailored key performance indicators and reporting tools, enabling individual profit centers to be held accountable for managing their fleet through accurate information rather than instinct.
As a true enterprise fleet management system, FleetWave now provides HD Supply with a harmonized view of complete fleet operating details and as a result, has dramatically streamlined the procurement process, optimized their vehicle inventory and continues to drive ongoing improvements and costs savings. “Although their requirements were extremely divers, HD Supply’s fleet management needs could easily be accommodated with our flexible solution,” said Ron Katz, Vice President of North American Sales for Chevin. In addition, “with FleetWave’s adaptable capabilities, HD Supply’s future needs and requirements can be seamlessly accommodated without the need for expensive and time consuming programming.” As with other corporate clients of Chevin, “HD Supply has realized a rapid return on their software investment and continues to reap tremendous fleet operating savings across their diverse fleet.”
Chevin Fleet Solutions is a global provider of enterprise fleet management information systems. Chevin developed the world’s first true web-based fleet management system, FleetWave in 2000, as well as pioneering revolutionary touch screen, bar-coding and real-time integration to external operating systems and vendors to make fleet oversight and operations simpler and more controllable. Meanwhile the company continues to market its class-leading ‘desk-top’ RoadBASE application, aimed at small to mid-sized fleets.
