FITCHBURG, Mass. — Chevin Fleet Solutions has added a Web-based Driver Portal to its FleetWave fleet management software allowing drivers limited access to the system.

The Driver Portal features a series of forms and tools allowing drivers to submit data and gain controlled access to FleetWave. The new addition includes the following forms:

Expenses, fuel and mileage claim – a form where drivers can submit their expenses, fuel and mileage. It allows them to submit data pertaining to a single trip or for a certain time period.

Vehicle builder tool – the user can input data about the requirements of a company vehicle (make, model, specification), thus building his own truck and then forward it to management for approval and ordering. The unit can then be tracked through the delivery process with the current delivery status displayed.

Internal Vehicle sales tool – this features an online auction module allowing employees to bid on internal vehicles that are for sale. Vehicle information, history and photographs can be displayed.

Accident claim – an online accident claim form including a way of adding images, scanned documents etc. The information can then be sent electronically to insurance companies.

"The development of FleetWave is an on-going project to ensure that it remains a market leader in fleet management technology," said Ben Ashley, development manager for Chevin who directed the development of the Driver Portal. "We find that by simply listening to our customers and responding to their evolving business requirements we are able to consistently provide the latest fleet management capabilities, providing everything the client is looking for. This Driver Portal is just one of the latest features, one that has proved extremely popular with our clients."
