DMS plays a crucial role in providing efficient, cost-effective services to state agencies, local governments, and other public entities. DMS helps ensure that Florida\u2019s public sector operates smoothly and efficiently, acting as a backbone for the state\u2019s administrative functions. Within the Bureau of Fleet Management, this responsibility extends to overseeing the entire fleet of vehicles across Florida.<\/p>\n<p>We spoke to Cherie Williams, Bureau Chief, about their experience using\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.chevinfleet.com\/en-au\/products\/fleetwave\/\">FleetWave<\/a>\u00a0and how it has streamlined fleet management processes, improved operational efficiency, and helped drive cost savings for Florida\u2019s public sector.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; font-family: effra, sans-serif; box-sizing: border-box; border: 0px; display: block;\" title=\"Florida Department of Management Services Video Testimonial\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5QBH6akycs8?feature=oembed\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-cli-class=\"cli-blocker-script\" data-cli-label=\"Youtube embed\" data-cli-script-type=\"advertisement\" data-cli-block=\"true\" data-cli-block-if-ccpa-optout=\"false\" data-cli-element-position=\"body\" data-cli-placeholder=\"Accept &lt;a class='cli_manage_current_consent' tabindex='0'&gt;Advertisement&lt;\/a&gt; cookies to view the content.\" data-cli-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5QBH6akycs8?feature=oembed\" data-sleek-frame-id=\"971ca951-5dcf-440b-ab9f-8f6d63c6ace6\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Challenges<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>One of the key challenges faced by the Florida Department of Management Services (DMS) was managing access to fleet management platforms. As Cherie Williams explains,\u00a0<em>\u201cA lot of the issues we were having with other platforms is we were having to pay per user, instead of per vehicle, and that caused a lot of issues because of the way we\u2019re set up.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>With DMS supporting 31 state agencies and overseeing 25,000 assets, the need for multiple users to access the system was essential. The per-user pricing model proved inefficient, creating complications in managing the large number of users required across various state agencies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Our Solution<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Florida DMS began implementing\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.chevinfleet.com\/en-au\/products\/fleetwave\/\">FleetWave<\/a>\u00a0in 2019 to streamline its fleet management process. As Cherie Williams explains,\u00a0<em>\u201cRight now we\u2019re using it just strictly to put our vehicles in, track their mileage, their fuel cost, and the condition, and then get all their maintenance records in to see how much money we\u2019re spending on these, that\u2019s the primary benefit.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0This system provides valuable insights into vehicle costs and maintenance, enabling more efficient decision-making.<\/p>\n<p>The implementation covers the entire state fleet, from acquisition to disposal, as Cherie notes:\u00a0<em>\u201cWe take care of the entire state of Florida\u2019s fleet, from acquisition to managing in FleetWave to disposals.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0This includes a wide variety of assets, from sedans and light trucks to heavy equipment such as bobcats and asphalt layers, ensuring that all vehicles and equipment are accounted for and properly managed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Impact<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The introduction of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.chevinfleet.com\/en-au\/products\/fleetwave\/\">FleetWave<\/a>\u00a0has significantly improved the user experience for Florida DMS and its customers. As Cherie Williams highlights,\u00a0<em>\u201cI would have to say the biggest impact is probably the ease of use. The previous platform we were on was very difficult to navigate. You had to click on many different tabs to get to where you needed to go. And this one has been very easy to get to and to navigate around, and they\u2019ve really appreciated that.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0This streamlined interface has made it easier for multiple state agencies to access critical fleet data efficiently, leading to increased user satisfaction and smoother operations across the board.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Since implementing\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.chevinfleet.com\/en-au\/products\/fleetwave\/\">FleetWave<\/a>\u00a0in 2019, the Florida Department of Management Services (DMS) has transformed its fleet management operations, effectively overseeing over 18,000 vehicles and 8,000 additional assets. The platform has streamlined processes and improved user satisfaction by addressing access challenges and simplifying data management. As a central administrative agency supporting 31 state agencies, DMS benefits from FleetWave\u2019s ease of use and comprehensive tracking capabilities, leading to more efficient service delivery and optimized fleet operations across Florida.<\/p>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section  class=\"c-cta-block cta-block content-section\">\n  <div class=\"container u-text-center animated fadeInUp\">\n    \n          <h2 class=\"u-red fadeInUp__1\">Interested in FleetWave?<\/h2>\n    \n    \n          <a class=\"button fadeInUp__3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.chevinfleet.com\/en-au\/products\/fleetwave\/\">LEARN MORE<\/a>\n      <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section  class=\"content-section \">\n    \n    <div class=\"container container--small u-text-center animated fadeInUp\">\n        \n                    <h5 class=\"fadeInUp__1\">NEWS<\/h5>\n                            <h3 class=\"fadeInUp__1\"><b>You may also be interested in<\/b><\/h3>\n                                <\/div>\n\n    \n    <div class=\"container container--no-pad fadeInUp__2\">\n        <div class=\"post-type-wrapper\" data-behaviour=\"featured-slider\">\n                            <a class=\"post-type unstyled post-type--transform \" href=\"https:\/\/www.chevinfleet.com\/en-au\/blog\/chevin-fleet-solutions-to-exhibit-at-government-fleet-expo-conference-2026\/\">\n    <div class=\"post-type__image\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/chevin-assets.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/03\/16113856\/GFX-440x440.png\">\n            <\/div>\n    <div class=\"post-type__content\">\n                <p class=\"post-type__name\"><strong>Chevin Fleet Solutions to exhibit at Government Fleet Expo &amp; Conference 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n                <p class=\"post-type__more\">Read more<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n<\/a>\n                            <a class=\"post-type unstyled post-type--transform \" href=\"https:\/\/www.chevinfleet.com\/en-au\/blog\/chevin-fleet-solutions-to-exhibit-at-eufmc-2026\/\">\n    <div class=\"post-type__image\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/chevin-assets.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/05\/08142833\/Featured-Image-EUFMC-2024-440x440.png\">\n            <\/div>\n    <div class=\"post-type__content\">\n                <p class=\"post-type__name\"><strong>Chevin Fleet Solutions to Exhibit at EUFMC 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n                <p class=\"post-type__more\">Read more<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n<\/a>\n                            <a class=\"post-type unstyled post-type--transform \" href=\"https:\/\/www.chevinfleet.com\/en-au\/blog\/chevin-fleet-solutions-to-showcase-latest-innovations-at-the-cv-show-2026\/\">\n    <div class=\"post-type__image\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/chevin-assets.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/01\/04171824\/CV-Show-Event-Team-2025-Cropped-440x440.jpg\">\n            <\/div>\n    <div class=\"post-type__content\">\n                <p class=\"post-type__name\"><strong>Chevin Fleet Solutions to Showcase Latest Innovations at the CV Show 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n                <p class=\"post-type__more\">Read more<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n<\/a>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"c-hr hr content-section u-show-mobile\">\n<div class=\"container\">\n    <hr>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Florida\u2019s DMS streamlined 18,000+ vehicle management with FleetWave, boosting efficiency, cost savings, and user experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":8129,"menu_order":0,"template":"","case-studies-cats":[48],"class_list":["post-8118","case-studies","type-case-studies","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","case-studies-cats-local-government"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.3 (Yoast SEO v26.5) -
