Is fuel theft OK with you? continued from previous page cost of refuelling, just like the cost of labour, the time spent refuelling, insurance, etc. Because refuelling is done by certified professionals wheel to wheel, your employees are no longer part of the refuelling process. When your vehicles and equipment are refuelled by an independent company you know when and exactly how much fuel went into each tank. In fact positive identification software can tell you which vehicle, tank, or piece of equipment was filled. You can measure and manage each drop of fuel, so you are guaranteed that there will be no unauthorized fill ups. A complete TFM system includes proven software that allows you to set operating thresholds for each machine and you quickly see where the most fuel is being used, or wasted. Once you have that you can manage your people and your fuel better. Fuel theft is history. It is not impossible to cut refuelling expenses by 15% or more. Do you use your own fuel storage tanks? Total Fuel Management takes fuel tank monitoring to the next level. Remote tank monitoring and prevention devices are attached which advise managers when a theft occurs. Here is how it works: Fuel tanks are equipped with digital software that is activated each time the tank is open. An alert text message or e-mail can be set up to let you know when each refuelling happens. In addition each fuel tank can have an alarm and warning beacon attached which activates if there are any afterhours or unauthorized fill-ups. Both systems have proven to eliminate fuel theft. Remote tank monitoring also has other benefits. Each fill up measures to the exact amount, along with a date and time stamp. Positive identification of equipment and vehicles work in tandem to give you exact refuelling information by piece of equipment so you can gauge efficiency and productivity. Data capture software at the point of refuelling streamlines your accounting with instant accurate data for simple reconciliation. For multi-location users all this information can be delivered to one office via e-mail for immediate reporting. Fuel theft is a problem, and until you can measure each refuelling you will continue to pay for losses every month. For many companies, fuel is the second largest cost next to labor, so you must pay attention to even the slightest fuel theft. With new, more stringent fuel management policies you will send a message that theft, of any kind, is not acceptable.
