Chevin boosts Progressive Swine Technologies fleet productivity

Progressive Swine Technologies (PST) has boosted its fleet productivity by partnering with Chevin Fleet Solutions and implementing a new asset-centric enterprise fleet management information system, RoadBASE®.

Progressive Swine Technologies is one of the largest swine production companies in North America with environmentally sound gene centers, reproductive and finisher sites across Nebraska and South Dakota. Chevin’s uniquely flexible fleet management software, RoadBASE® has been specifically configured to match PST’s precise business requirements and has enabled this high tech swine producer to more effectively manage its 500 unit fleet; which includes tractors, livestock and feed trailers and farm equipment.

Troy Runge, Shop Manager at Progressive Swine Technologies, says: ‘we’re a conscientious business recognized for our ability to embrace new and changing technologies including implementing advanced internal systems. With the increased visibility that RoadBASE® has provided, we’ve been able to dramatically reduce the time we previously spent on administration, inventory oversight and fleet management. In addition, by enabling real-time tracking of all operating details across our diverse fleet, our related running costs have been massively reduced.’

With the implementation of RoadBASE®, PST replaced its outdated and non-integrated fleet management software with the centralized system that has the capability to capture and consolidate all of the organisations disparate fleet operating data, allowing their fleet management team to more effectively manage the fleet based upon information rather than conjecture.

Ron Katz, Senior Vice President of Chevin Fleet Solutions adds: ‘due to the unique nature of PST’s business, they have very specific fleet requirements, so a conventional fleet management system would have yielded few benefits. Working closely with the team at PST, our uniquely configured version of our RoadBASE® application has already delivered tangible results, while providing the flexibility and scalability to adapt to PST’s changing needs in the future.’
