Case Study: Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council frees up resources and cuts administration time with Chevin Fleet's FleetWave

Local Council Freed Up Its Resources With Asset and Fleet Management Software

Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council, which serves around 300,000 residents across 39 square miles with nearly 1,500 staff and a fleet of about 450 vehicles and plant, faced costly duplication, limited data visibility and restrictive, non–Windows compatible legacy systems that made fleet administration slow and labour‑intensive.

After evaluating options, Dudley implemented Chevin’s web‑based FleetWave for its Windows compatibility, flexibility and centralized data management. Deployed in 2009 and continuously developed since, FleetWave automated maintenance scheduling, eliminated duplicate data entry, improved visibility and scalability, and is estimated to have saved users about two hours per day in administration.
