Case Study: Bidfood achieves around 20% cut in parking fines and up to £200k annual savings with Chevin Fleet

How Bidfood Foodservice Cut Its Parking Fines

Bidfood, one of the UK’s leading foodservice companies, runs a large and complex fleet of trucks, vans, cars and handling equipment. The Fleet Support team faced an inflexible, manual mix of home-grown trackers and spreadsheets and was incurring a high volume of penalty charge notices (PCNs) during deliveries, creating a need for a centralised, more accessible system to identify savings opportunities and integrate with existing business processes.

Chevin’s FleetWave was implemented as a single master database with tiered access for central fleet management, depots and finance, plus a PCN module that logs correspondence, creates diary reminders and produces detailed reports. The real-time, centrally maintained system streamlined processes, reduced fines by about 11–20% and delivered annual savings of approximately £150,000–£200,000.
