CHEVIN
See the world's first 'active' fleet management system - FleetWave - from Chevin Computer Systems. This revolutionary software solution promises to relieve stressed-out fleet managers from endless data inputting, giving them back their management roles.

Enter FleetWave, which automatically gathers all the information necessary to run fleets at peak efficiency, including transaction data from suppliers (such as fuel card and servicing companies), other departments (P11Ds info etc.), contractors and even drivers. It also saves hours of time each week by allowing authorised departments to run off their own reports, while the fleet/data manager maintains full control through a system of passwords.
Chevin will also be showing off its other developments such as revolutionary touch screen and bar-coding systems to make fleet and workshop operations simpler and more controllable. Visitors can also see Chevin's class-leading RoadBASE and Easy-Fleet packages, aimed at larger (50+) and small fleets respectively. Chevin Computer Systems - Sales Hotline 08000 748302.
