What is Chevin Fleet Solutions?
Chevin Fleet Solutions was founded in Derbyshire in 1990 and is the company behind FleetWave, a configurable fleet and asset management platform used by large corporates, public sector organisations, and global fleets. With offices across the UK, US, Australia, France, and Belgium, Chevin supports fleet and asset management for organisations operating across dozens of countries.
FleetWave's core strength is managing large, complex fleets — often mixing cars, vans, HGVs, and non-vehicle assets — with deep whole-life cost and total-cost-of-ownership reporting, and the configurability to model almost any fleet policy or workflow. This depth typically comes with a corresponding implementation process: pricing beyond the entry tier is generally scoped around the specific modules and asset types a customer needs.
For a UK SME running a fleet of vans, trade vehicles, or light commercial vehicles, a global asset management platform is often more configuration and complexity than the business needs — particularly when the core requirement is straightforward GPS tracking, DVSA compliance, and job dispatch.

Why UK SME fleets choose FleetGS over Chevin
Built for SME fleets, not global asset portfolios
FleetWave's depth is designed for large, multi-asset, multi-country fleets. FleetGS is purpose-built for the day-to-day reality of a 10–250 vehicle UK fleet — no lengthy scoping and configuration process required.
Sign up today, no scoping call
Chevin typically involves a scoping conversation to confirm modules and pricing beyond the entry tier. FleetGS publishes transparent flat-rate GBP pricing and lets you start a trial immediately.
DVSA compliance built in from day one
FleetGS digital walkaround checks are aligned to DVSA standards out of the box, with MOT and service deadline tracking and Operator Licence audit-ready reporting included in every plan — not a configuration exercise.
Setup in days, not weeks

FleetGS vs Chevin Fleet Solutions — frequently asked questions
Yes, particularly for UK SME fleets running between 10 and 250 vehicles. Chevin Fleet Solutions, founded in Derbyshire in 1990, produces FleetWave — a highly configurable fleet asset management platform used by large corporates, public sector bodies, and global fleets managing millions of vehicles and assets across multiple countries. It's built for complex, multi-asset fleets that need deep whole-life cost reporting and extensive configuration. FleetGS is built for smaller UK operators that need GPS tracking, DVSA compliance, and job dispatch in one straightforward platform, without the configuration overhead a global asset management system carries.
