Harris County, Texas Deploys New Fleet Management Information System

ARTICLE TOOLS        | E-MailPrint RSS

FITCHBURG, MA – Harris County, Texas, has recently implemented Chevin Fleet Solutions Web-based enterprise fleet management information system, FleetWave, to gain control over escalating fleet running costs while allowing real-time remote access to the County’s dispersed departments.

Harris County maintains a fleet of more than 5,000 pieces of equipment out of multiple maintenance facilities and utilizes FleetWave’s Workshop, Inventory, Touch Screen, Purchasing, Warranty, Campaign and Recall, and Driver and Accident management capabilities.

FleetWave’s asset-centric architecture supports Harris County’s complex equipment inventory requirements while enabling complete vehicle, equipment assignment, and preventive maintenance management. Capturing comprehensive equipment attributes from acquisition through disposal details to integrated fuel management, FleetWave has replaced the County’s inflexible fleet management system and with a single integrated Web-based system.

To streamline administrative workload while providing comprehensive oversight of complete costs, FleetWave is integrated with the County’s financial management system and supports monthly mark ups and billing for all fleet related costs. With automated integration to the County’s multiple fuel management systems, FleetWave tracks all fuel transactions for appropriate billing to ensure that this high cost area is tracked to produce maximum cost savings.

Budget Constraints No. 1 Issue Facing Public Sector Fleets in 2009

By Mike Antich
Steep declines in tax revenues are resulting in budget cuts at all levels of government, which most likely will persist for the next 12 to 24 months. These budget shortfalls are particularly acute at general fund departments. Adjusting fleet budgets to cope with revenue shortfalls is emerging as the number one issue facing government fleets in 2009.
