Enterprise fleet management platform
Looking for a Chevin FleetWave alternative in the UK?
Chevin FleetWave is enterprise fleet management software: highly configurable, used by large and often multinational fleets, and implemented as a scoped project with quote-based licensing. It can model close to any fleet process an in-house team can define.
That's exactly why it's usually the wrong tool for a UK operator with 10 vans and two forklifts. FleetCompliance covers the compliance layer — MOT, insurance, PMI, LOLER, driver CPC, medicals, with automated reminders and an audit trail — without an implementation project, at a price on the website.

When FleetWave is the better choice
FleetWave is genuinely the better choice if:
- You manage hundreds or thousands of assets, possibly across multiple depots or countries.
- You need custom workflows, forms and reporting built around your own processes.
- You need deep integrations — ERP, fuel systems, telematics feeds, HR systems.
- You have an in-house fleet team who will own and administer the system.
When FleetCompliance is the better choice
- You run 1–50 vehicles and nobody's job title is 'fleet systems administrator'.
- You want working compliance tracking this week, not after an implementation.
- You want published pricing (free–£49/month) instead of an enterprise quote.
- You want a rolling monthly arrangement you can leave from your own settings page.
How switching actually works
If your organisation uses FleetWave modules beyond compliance tracking, map what you actually use before switching — FleetCompliance deliberately does one job, not every job.
- 01
Check your notice period first
Before anything else, read your current agreement for the notice period and any auto-renewal date. That date — not ours — sets your switching timeline.
- 02
Sign up free and add your vehicles
No card needed. Type each registration and the DVLA lookup pulls MOT expiry and tax status automatically. Non-road plant (forklifts, cranes, MEWPs) is added by serial number with its LOLER dates.
- 03
Add drivers and upload documents
Licence, CPC, DQC and medical dates per driver. Photograph certificates as you go — the scanner reads expiry dates on your own device, so documents never leave your browser.
- 04
Set who gets reminded
Email reminders go out at 30, 14, 7 and 1 days before each expiry (WhatsApp and SMS on Fleet Pro). Point them at whoever actually books the work.
- 05
Run both systems in parallel until you trust it
There is no downtime and nothing to install, so nothing forces a hard cut-over. Most operators in our 1–50 vehicle range should budget an afternoon to enter a full fleet, then let the old contract lapse at its renewal date.
Frequently asked questions
Is Chevin FleetWave good for small fleets?
FleetWave is built and priced as enterprise software. A small fleet could technically run on it, but you'd be paying for configurability and integration depth you're unlikely to use, plus an implementation process. Small UK fleets are better served by tools built for their scale — that's the segment FleetCompliance exists for.
How much does Chevin FleetWave cost?
Chevin doesn't publish standard pricing — FleetWave is licensed by quote, based on fleet size, modules and implementation scope. FleetCompliance publishes its full pricing: free for 1 vehicle, £19/month up to 9, £49/month up to 30.
How do I switch from Chevin FleetWave to FleetCompliance?
For the compliance-tracking part of what FleetWave does: export your vehicle and driver lists, sign up free, and re-enter vehicles by registration — the DVLA lookup auto-fills MOT and tax. Upload certificates against each record. Check your licensing agreement for notice terms before cancelling. If you rely on FleetWave modules beyond compliance (workshop, ERP integration), confirm FleetCompliance's narrower scope covers what you actually use.
