Geraint shared that they struggled with<em>\u00a0\u201cdisjointed information, data scattered across multiple sources, and reliance on numerous spreadsheets,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0which made effective fleet management difficult.<\/p>\n<p>North Wales Fire and Rescue Service (NWFRS) faced multiple challenges in managing its fleet before adopting FleetWave. Previously, the service relied on an internally developed and maintained fleet management system, which eventually reached its end of life. This required NWFRS to seek a new solution that could efficiently address their needs without the limitations of their old system. \u201c<em>We used to be on a unique system which was developed in-house and maintained in-house, and obviously that came to end of life, which prompted us to go out to tender,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Geraint, Head of Fleet, explained. This transition presented an opportunity to modernise, as they needed a reliable solution without unforeseen costs or surprises.<\/p>\n<p>When NWFRS considered\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.chevinfleet.com\/products\/fleetwave\/\">FleetWave<\/a>\u00a0in 2013, the software stood out for its comprehensive package, which included key fleet management features without the need for costly add-ons. NWFRS was keen to avoid the pitfalls they had heard from other fleet managers who experienced added costs for fuel management and other modules<em>. \u201cI\u2019ve heard stories from other fleet managers,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0the representative said.\u00a0<em>\u201cThey have a fleet management system, but then they need to look after fuel, so they need the fuel module, which costs extra. That\u2019s what we don\u2019t like\u2014uncertainty. \u201cWe plan our revenue budget three years in advance, so any mid-year cost increases are a challenge because we simply don\u2019t have the budget to pay for them. Having everything we need included really helped us make the decision.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Managing the fleet on their old system was also cumbersome and time-consuming. The previous system involved extensive paperwork, with job cards printed for each vehicle maintenance task. Technicians would fill in these job cards manually, and then administrative staff would re-enter the data, logging labour hours, parts used, and other details. \u201cIt was a big space for error,\u201d explained the representative.\u00a0<em>\u201cWe\u2019d keep all vehicle and asset details there, and maintenance records, but it was all through job cards. Technicians would fill them out, hand them back in, and then someone would have to enter all the labour times, parts, and other information manually. It was labour-intensive, really.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>NWFRS was one of the early adopters of using the FleetWave workshop floor (now\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.chevinfleet.com\/products\/fleetwave-technician\/\">FleetWave Technician<\/a>) in real-time, reducing the need for paperwork and minimizing the risk of lost records.<em>\u00a0\u201cI didn\u2019t want any papers floating around because I\u2019d had experience with job cards going missing, being found months later behind lockers or desks so we got everything working in real time with FleetWave, and we just we haven\u2019t looked back since\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Beyond administrative challenges, NWFRS also contends with the unique demands of the emergency services industry. Vehicles require specialized conversions to support firefighting and rescue operations, and the high cost of these conversions means each vehicle must be kept in service as long as possible to maximize ROI.\u00a0<em>\u201cThis results in a very high age profile for our vehicles compared to industry norms, leading to parts obsolescence and challenges in sourcing replacements.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Fleet size and complexity add to the difficulties, making it essential to manage vehicle procurement, disposal, and scheduled maintenance efficiently. As NWFRS\u2019s fleet includes a variety of assets, from firefighting vehicles to specialized tools and equipment, centralized management of fuel, parts procurement, stock control, and vehicle allocations is critical.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"content-section animated fadeInUp onscreen\">\n<div class=\"container container--small  user-content fadeInUp__1\">\n<h2><strong>Solution<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>NWFRS recognized the need for fleet software, as their\u00a0<em>\u201cfleet size, including assets, makes it almost impossible to manage procurement, disposal, and scheduled maintenance efficiently without it,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0said Geraint. They needed a solution to streamline fuel management, parts procurement, stock control, vehicle allocations, and more.<\/p>\n<p>The features of FleetWave that NWFRS finds most beneficial vary across departments, as different teams utilize the system for their specific needs. For example, Geraint shared,\u00a0<em>\u201cI don\u2019t really get involved with stock control or purchase orders, but I do look at vehicles and assets all the time for budget forecasting as well as procurement and disposals. Having that information to hand is really valuable.\u201d\u00a0<\/em>This access to real-time data has streamlined critical decision-making processes, especially for budgeting and procurement.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.chevinfleet.com\/products\/fleetwave-technician\/\">Workshop Floor<\/a>\u00a0feature has proven invaluable for the maintenance team. Geraint highlighted,\u00a0<em>\u201cThe Workshop Floor is a huge benefit because the Supervisors get their technician performance data from there. So that\u2019s really helpful for them.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0This feature enables supervisors to track performance metrics, improving accountability and efficiency within the team. It also plays a significant role in managing labour costs:\u00a0<em>\u201cIt\u2019s really about exporting the timesheet data and putting it into a pay check, so you can look at how much time is being spent on jobs, how much time is being spent on travel. We\u2019re basically looking at maintenance jobs and activities and putting it all together in one place.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0This consolidated view allows Geraint and his team to monitor performance, identify trends and address potential inefficiencies without micromanaging, ensuring the data is used to keep things on track. Overall, FleetWave\u2019s versatility in supporting various functions has made it a game-changer for NWFRS, enhancing both operational efficiency and decision-making across departments.<\/p>\n<p>Before implementing FleetWave, NWFRS faced challenges with managing vehicle data and documentation. Geraint shared,\u00a0<em>\u201cWe keep everything there now, even the contract hire vehicles. Before, you\u2019d have to go looking through the file tree, wondering \u2018Where\u2019s the document for that? Where\u2019s this? Where\u2019s that?\u2019 Now, everything is in one place.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0This streamlined approach has eliminated the need for time-consuming searches and disorganized file systems. He added<em>, \u201cWhen we took this on in 2013, having the facility to upload documents and images was a massive, massive benefit for us. It allowed us to clear out a huge file room full of filing cabinets, which were previously crammed with paperwork. Now, we hardly ever visit that room.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0The ability to upload and store documents digitally has significantly improved efficiency, reducing the reliance on physical records and ensuring that crucial information is easily accessible when needed. This feature has been a game-changer for the organization, saving time and helping to maintain a more organized, digital workflow.<\/p>\n<p>NWFRS utilizes FleetWave for a variety of essential fleet management functions, with key features including vehicle maintenance, technician management, purchase orders, and supplier management. Geraint shared,\u00a0<em>\u201cWe\u2019re using it for vehicle maintenance, technicians management, purchase orders, and we\u2019ve also got suppliers on there. We use it for fuel, so we\u2019ve got 2 fuel cards that we use, importing data from All Star and UK Fuels into FleetWave.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Prior to implementing FleetWave, managing fuel transactions was a significant challenge. Geraint explained,\u00a0<em>\u201cBefore FleetWave, not being able to see our fuel transactions in one place was an absolute nightmare. It just takes a load of your time because you\u2019re having to download the data from your provider\u2019s website, and it comes in two different formats, so you\u2019re having to make sense of those two and add them all together at the end. It\u2019s just messy.\u201d\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0With FleetWave, fuel management has become much more streamlined, offering a centralized platform for tracking and analyzing fuel usage<em>. \u201cHaving that all in one place is great,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0said Geraint. Given that fuel is the largest budget line his Department manages, he emphasized<em>, \u201cThe fuel budget dwarfs all other budget lines that I have to manage, so I really need to know what\u2019s going on there.\u201d\u00a0<\/em>FleetWave has thus provided a critical solution for improving accuracy and efficiency in fuel management.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section  class=\"c-image image content-section content-section--no-pad \">\n    <div class=\"animated fadeInUp container container--small\">\n                                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/chevin-assets.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/03\/06152126\/1a1a5f98-8c15-42ec-b5c6-b471c4654479-2048x1000.jpeg\"\n     data-srcset=\"https:\/\/chevin-assets.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/03\/06152126\/1a1a5f98-8c15-42ec-b5c6-b471c4654479-520x333.jpeg 360w,\n                https:\/\/chevin-assets.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/03\/06152126\/1a1a5f98-8c15-42ec-b5c6-b471c4654479-1040x500.jpeg 768w,\n                https:\/\/chevin-assets.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/03\/06152126\/1a1a5f98-8c15-42ec-b5c6-b471c4654479-2048x1000.jpeg 1440w,\n                https:\/\/chevin-assets.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/03\/06152126\/1a1a5f98-8c15-42ec-b5c6-b471c4654479.jpeg 2000w\" class=\" fadeInUp__1\" \/>\n            <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section  class=\"content-section animated fadeInUp\" >\n    <div class=\"container container--small  user-content fadeInUp__1\">\n        <h2><strong>Our Impact<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chevinfleet.com\/products\/fleetwave\/\">FleetWave<\/a>\u00a0has had a significant impact on NWFRS, enabling them to make more informed decisions and streamline processes. One of the key benefits highlighted by Geraint is the access to expert support through the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.chevinfleet.com\/ask-the-expert\/\">Ask the Expert sessions<\/a>. He shared<em>, \u201cHaving access to Steve through the Ask the Expert sessions and having that kind of expertise available and somebody with an in-depth knowledge of the system and a detailed understanding of what you\u2019re doing and what you\u2019re trying to do is really good. So it\u2019s really positive having access to that.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chevinfleet.com\/products\/fleetwave\/\">FleetWave<\/a>\u00a0has played a pivotal role in helping NWFRS make data-driven decisions that lead to significant cost savings. Geraint explained how the system was used to evaluate the condition of critical hydraulic equipment across the fleet: \u201c<em>We use it all the time for data and if we need to make a case, we look at the historical information we\u2019ve got. For example, we use FleetWave maintenance data for cutters, spreaders, rams, and all kinds of hydraulic equipment fitted to every fire engine throughout North Wales. These pieces of equipment were starting to get old, and we needed to consider replacing them.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>By running maintenance reports through FleetWave, NWFRS was able to track the increasing maintenance costs over time, helping to forecast future expenses. Geraint shared,\u00a0<em>\u201cWe were able to demonstrate the steadily increasing costs and forecast what the costs would be if this trend continued. We put that information to use and went to the service leadership team to decide whether we should invest in new equipment.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, the data helped NWFRS make a cost-effective decision. Geraint continued,\u00a0<em>\u201cThe hoses were coming up for 10-year replacements, and it was going to be quite costly. We looked at the projected cost of replacing the hoses and decided we could live with these increasing costs and replace the hoses instead of buying new equipment.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0This decision, supported by FleetWave\u2019s data, led to a significant cost-saving for the organization.<\/p>\n<p>FleetWave\u2019s customization has allowed NWFRS to use the software in a way that suits their unique operational needs. Geraint noted,\u00a0<em>\u201cI can imagine that different services or industries would use it differently. For us, we don\u2019t use it that much to forecast tire replacements since they\u2019re typically damaged rather than worn out. Other companies might use it differently, but it\u2019s all about tailoring the system to our needs.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>One of the standout features of FleetWave for NWFRS is its ability to easily gather and extract data, making reporting and analysis straightforward. Geraint shared,\u00a0<em>\u201cA plus side of FleetWave is definitely gathering and drawing data from it, and it\u2019s easy to get evidence out of, and that\u2019s what I really like.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0The system\u2019s user-friendly query builder allows for efficient report creation without needing to build complex queries. He explained,\u00a0<em>\u201cI can build a report using the query builder, and it\u2019s so easy. A lot of the instant information you need is already on the screen, so I don\u2019t need to build a query. I just put the data that I need into the report\u2014whether it\u2019s maintenance or vehicles\u2014and then export the whole thing, delete the columns I don\u2019t want, and keep the ones I do. It just makes life a lot easier.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>For Geraint, this simple yet effective approach to data extraction has been a game changer. He added,\u00a0<em>\u201cYou have your reports that you build, and then they\u2019re always there for you.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0With FleetWave, the team is able to quickly access the insights they need, saving time and improving efficiency in their fleet management processes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In conclusion, NWFRS selected<a href=\"https:\/\/www.chevinfleet.com\/products\/fleetwave\/\">\u00a0FleetWave<\/a>\u00a0for its comprehensive, all-in-one solution, offering a \u201cone-stop shop\u201d without the need for costly add-on modules or product development.
