2. Fuel management systems are designed to secure,
supervise and control fuel distribution.
Connected to the fuel pumps, those systems help
you to manage and measure fuel usage, as well
as stock levels. They’re useful in many types of
businesses (truck companies, transportation,
construction, etc). But not all FMS are equal.
So make sure yours will have the essential
4 key features.
3. Secured ID Most FMS offer a
driver card as
identification, or even
personal code.
Being able to set-up a
double identification
(driver and vehicle) will
level-up you security
level.
You should be able to
use keyfobs for your
vehicles and ID cards
for your drivers.
4. Real-time
communication
You might need to manage
different kind of fluids (gasoil,
DEF, CNG, etc) amongst different
locations.
Real-time communication
between the terminals - that
manage fuel pumps - and your
software ensures you 100%
reliability regarding data.
In the same way, you’ll be able to
get instant notifications by email
to be aware of a low level in
tanks, for instance.
5. Comprehensive
reporting
An integrated reporting
is a must-have to have
overview on fuel
consumptions. But it
should also be
designed to zoom-in
on a vehicle, a time
period or even a
specific location.
Graphs, charts and
exports to Excel are
valuables tools too,
that will save you a lot
of time.
6. Easy
access
Set yourself free from
unnecessary limitations you
might encounter with some
software and just go full-web.
This way, you’ll be able to gather
data you need in you decision-
making process (fuel purchase)
and plan from anywhere.
Cloud computing (SaaS) is the
easiest way to log in and work
from any device, including a
smartphone.
