Client Brief

Although very happy with their existing RoadBASE system, the distributed nature of their operation and limited network bandwidth meant that they needed a 'thin-client' solution. Having returned to the market to find an appropriate solution they chose to upgrade to FleetWave, as they found it offered a low-cost, low-licence fee solution working within their existing network platform. Utilisiing existing hardware and servers ensured further cost savings.

Client Benefits

• As a Thin-Client solution; FleetWave was perfect for their needs.
• Implementation was easy, as all clients only required Internet Explorer to access FleetWave.
• FleetWave maintains the flexibility found in RoadBASE, so no compromises were made.
• Software upgrades are now installed centrally and become instantly visible to all users
