Fuel management service gives operators ‘complete control’

Fuel is the driving force behind every business that operates a fleet of vehicles and for many it will be within their top three operational costs. With the cost of fuel an increasing concern, it is essential to have a well-proven data reporting system in place to monitor fuel usage and give the fleet operator complete control.

FuelWorks, Merridale’s fuel management reporting solution, is a low-cost subscription service that can be accessed through any standard web browser across multiple platforms. This eliminates the need for software installation on office computers and avoids training, security and backup issues. Users can also access the vital data they require from anywhere and at any time.

Using the data captured in FuelWorks, fleet operators will have a much better understanding of all aspects of their fleet and workforce, Merridale says. The ability to measure and report on fuel consumption and performance by vehicle and driver offers vital statistics needed to help shape decisions, such as best routes to take, which vehicle to use for specific jobs, and whether drivers need extra training on efficient driving.

FuelWorks can also monitor tank levels and predict low stock, sending email alerts as needed and SMS texts in the event of severe leak or theft. Other features of FuelWorks include secure encrypted https connections, multiple users across multiple sites, real-time capabilities, a range of reporting features (including fuel, cost, vehicle and driver performance, and environmental impact) and tank stock reconciliation and costing.

With over 1,500 sites taking advantage of the service, approximately 14 million litres of fuel during 150,000 fuelling transactions are accounted for each week using FuelWorks software.

Merridale is responsible for hosting and maintaining FuelWorks, without any third-party input. It also offers support and training, with initial telephone training for each customer, and a dedicated helpdesk for ongoing support.

Linburg Coaches fleet manager John Hadaway, who has used FuelWorks since 2013 said: “I can’t think of a time I’ve looked at our reports and wished FuelWorks could tell me something more. It seems to cover everything. It’s great having access on any device too, rather than being limited to a single computer.”

Fleet operators who wish to upgrade existing Merridale equipment to use FuelWorks do not need to replace existing hardware as Merridale can upgrade most existing systems to make them compatible with FuelWorks, no matter how old the system.
