A new global consultancy service has been launched by Chevin Fleet Solutions to help business evaluate processes and fleet management practices.

The service will be led by Chevin's vice president of global consulting and client services Bill Griffiths.

It will offer clients an evaluation of fleet performance and associated management processes, enabling managers to fully understand existing procedures; maximise the use of data; streamline work-flow and create a stronger road map for success. 

Chevin will analyse the efficiency of customers' operations including:

  • Workflow processes that improve administrative time
  • Project management and inspection compliance to lower costs for vehicle downtime
  • Vendor reconciliation for fuel, parts and other services
  • Technician labour and shop workload allocation
  • Better use of telematics data for operations management
  • More effective vehicle and equipment replacement planning

Having recognised that the amount of big data available to fleets can be overwhelming, Chevin will coach its clients to focus on specific data sets that will provide the results they need to gain a competitive advantage from their fleet management processes. 

Bill Griffiths said: 'One of the most critical skills needed by a fleet manager goes beyond technical knowledge, mechanical aptitude and the ability to run a shop ' individuals must be data-fluent, strategically focused and expert communicators.

'With an expanse of fleet management experience, software suppliers such as Chevin are perfectly placed to maximise the use of fleet data and recommend best practices.

'We possess the unique ability to evaluate experience through a gap analysis process, which leads to an effective look at both strengths and weaknesses in any given business. Good data can change the conversation, help to inspire progress and galvanise change'

Chevin's new consultancy service is now available in all English-speaking countries, with a view to expand into other territories over the coming months.
