S.Carolina State Drives Ongoing Fleet Efficencies with FleetWave

The State of South Carolina has overhauled its 16,000 unit State Fleet Management Operations with the roll-out of its new web-based fleet management information system - FleetWave®, from Chevin Fleet Solutions.

The South Carolina State Fleet Management Office is mandated by SC Budget and Control Board to provide vehicles and related services to more than 200 state agencies and universities across the state, providing comprehensive fleet services that include:

Vehicle Procurement, delivery and disposal

Internal Service Fund billing

Acquisition and management of Alternative Fuel Vehicles

Maintenance and repair services

Call Center support and external vendor authorisation and payment processing

Maintenance Facility Certification

Fuel Card management and support through 100 state and more than 3,000 retail fueling sites

Fleet Safety and Accident Management services

Using FleetWave’s uniquely flexible and scalable capabilities, South Carolina has replaced its inflexible SCEMIS system with a fully integrated enterprise fleet management information system. With FleetWave® in place, the State Fleet Management Office can now offer its remote state agencies and individual drivers a holistic view of all fleet related information in order to dramatically improve fleet utilisation and reduce operating costs.

As FleetWave® provides completely user-definable capabilities throughout, all of the State Fleet Management Office’s specific requirements were able to be met without the need for costly and time consuming programming. With its industry leading web-based architecture, FleetWave® is easily accessed by remote users using Internet Explorer from anywhere at any time. Leveraging FleetWave’s all-inclusive capabilities, state-wide communications for all fleet related policies and


procedures are easily accommodated, tracked and seamlessly consolidated to dramatically streamline labor intensive data collection processes.

Commenting on FleetWave’s roll-out, Ron Katz Senior Vice President of Chevin Fleet Solutions, said: 'The State of South Carolina provides a wide range of essential services to its more than 4 million residents, businesses and visitors across more than 45 counties. Many of these services would be impossible to conduct without the support of the State Fleet Management Office. That’s why insuring fleet operations are as effective and efficient as possible in order to continually reduce cost, promote safety, compliance and high standards of service delivery to its citizens. Embracing technology to support these objectives by implementing FleetWave® puts The State of South Carolina at the forefront of innovation for Government fleet management organisations.'
