Computerized Fleet Analysis
"Pervasive keeps our costs down so we can offer software for approximately $5,000 for a base module. If we weren't using Pervasive.SQL 2000, we'd have to build a lot more cost into our product to include a decent database."
-Jim Magee
General Manager, Computerized Fleet Analysis
"Pervasive.SQL 2000 is powerful and dependable enough that we don't have to re-index files every other week or maintain the software on a regular basis. We just set it up, and the database runs as it's supposed to. Our customers don't have access to a lot of IT support so that's really important."

Computerized Fleet Analysis: Providing innovative solutions for fleet management operations
About Computerized Fleet Analysis
Founded in 1969, Computerized Fleet Analysis (CFA) is a pioneer in the field of computerized fleet and equipment maintenance software. With more than 2500 fleets currently using its software, CFA is one of the largest providers of fleet maintenance software in North America— managing maintenance and inventory records for more than 450,000 police cars, fire trucks, sanitation vehicles, snowplows, delivery vehicles and other equipment totaling more than ten billion dollars in capital assets.
Business Challenge
To provide a solid database for tracking equipment maintenance and inventory records in a reliable and easy-to-use solution for customers without a dedicated IT person on staff.
Pervasive.SQL 2000 Solution
When it comes to maintaining life-saving vehicles, such as ambulances, police cars and fire trucks, CFA realized the importance of selecting the most reliable database software available for its fleet maintenance software. That's why CFA turned to Pervasive Software for the trusted performance and reliability of Pervasive.SQL 2000, embedding the database engine in its client/server and workgroup network installations.
CFA customers, such as Allied/BFI waste/trash hauling, Wise Foods and the Boston Police Department, need a software solution that is easy to learn and doesn't require a dedicated IT person to install and maintain it. The performance, reliability, small footprint and "zero-administration" capabilities of Pervasive.SQL 2000 make it ideal for CFA customers with limited access to IT resources. Unlike other database products, Pervasive.SQL doesn't require CFA to manually copy all the necessary software drivers. Because Pervasive.SQL 2000 already has the client installed, it automatically tests everything for CFA, making it much easier to use.
Bottom Line
Because CFA's solution is built on Pervasive's powerful database technology, it is affordable and manageable, and it seamlessly serves the needs of fleet managers all across the country. Not only does Pervasive.SQL 2000 enable CFA to provide a solution for one-third the cost of other database products, but CFA can also cater to their customers' needs for a zero-maintenance solution that doesn't require dedicated IT support.
