Chevin Fleet Solutions has signed a new Middle-Eastern distribution partnership and has already won its first fleet deal.

David Gladding, United Kingdom & Middle East sales director – Chevin, and Fadi Karajeh, managing director, Pioneer signing the new distribution agreement.

Although Chevin’s software has long been used by global organisations operating fleets in the Middle East, the fleet and asset management software provider has inked a partnership agreement with Pioneers IT & Business Consulting, whereby Pioneer will become a distributor of Chevin’s software across the Middle East.

Effective immediately, the new agreement will see IT and business consulting group Pioneer providing Chevin’s enterprise-level fleet management software, FleetWave, thoughout the region, providing direct front-line support to customers.

Meanwhile Chevin, which already provides FleetWave in a number of languages, will develop and enhance the software with a new Arabic-language interface set to be launched over the coming weeks.

Already Chevin has won its first fleet deal through the new Middle-Eastern supply chain, awarded by a Riyadh-based manufacturing and distributing company operating around 1,200 vehicles.

The customer will use FleetWave to handle a range of fleet particulars – utilising software modules designed to help improve management of vehicles, drivers, accidents, maintenance and workshop, and much more.

Fadi Karajeh, managing director, Pioneer, said: “Our decision to offer fleet management software was made after we received a wealth of enquiries from interested parties. During our search for a partner, we focused not only on software that assisted with fleet management, but also fleet maintenance.”

He added: “In addition to helping Chevin expand its market position, the partnership will add a new strategic product to Pioneers’ products bundle, in support of our continued development process and expansion plans (including the aim to access new markets and offer new products).”
