Chevin's app targets maintenance management

The Workshop Hub app is designed to optimise technicians’ workflow

Chevin Fleet Solutions has launched a vehicle management app called Workshop Hub, which it says will allow technicians to easily view and track their progress and report on their assigned workload while reducing administration levels.

Designed for use on a tablet or a smartphone, the Workshop Hub app provides a user-friendly experience, says Chevin.

It gives greater accessibility for technicians to view assignments either within the workshop or remotely.

The app provides a central location for technicians to complete job cards, track activity, request parts, carry out inspections, create timesheets and record non-productive time such as breaks and training.

Chevin adds that significant cost savings can be made through improved workshop efficiency and reduced administrative time for both technicians and managers. All activity, forms and reports are transferred to the supplier’s FleetWave platform, which allows productivity to be viewed.

Says Chevin MD Ashley Sowerby: “Extensive research was undertaken to help develop Workshop Hub, working alongside our clients and our own in-house industry experts. Overall, we are very pleased with both the positive feedback from the trials and on the overall product. We believe it to be the go-to tool for technicians.”
