Having a small fleet doesn’t mean you’re stuck with limitations on your fuel management system. There are affordable options that can provide better security for your organization and software, as well provide a greater depth of vehicle and driver information.
Wireless Automated Fueling
Utilizing Wireless Automated Fueling (WAF) speeds up the fueling process by minimizing time spent manually entering data at the pump. A wireless antenna at the fuel island interacts with a nozzle transponder on the pump and hardware installed on a vehicle. Just pull the vehicle up to the pump, insert the nozzle into the vehicle and the system will automatically validate and dispense (or deny) fuel based on predefined user profiles. Wireless authorization also helps to prevent fuel theft by dispensing fuel only to the approved vehicle – no more swiping a fob and fueling a personal vehicle. In addition, WAF can save you time, help eliminate errors and display engine fault codes!
Driver Behavior
Controlling and managing the fuel dispensed to that vehicle is only part of the picture. You entrust your employees with a company vehicle. How much do you know about the behavior of your drivers? Driving habits can greatly affect the fuel mileage of a vehicle and lead to more frequent fill ups. Rapid braking and acceleration, excessive idling and exceeding speed limits all cause extra fuel use, add to wear and tear cost and increase liability. Excessive hard braking is a known indicator of a distracted driver. These behaviors can be tracked right inside the FuelDrive Fuel Management System, providing for better reporting and increased driver accountability.
Passive GPS
You trust that your drivers are not taking advantage of company vehicles, but how can you be sure? A Passive GPS Module can provide peace of mind by allowing you to monitor and evaluate complete trip details as soon as the vehicle returns to the lot. When company assets are optimally managed, service and savings improve along with the efficiency and safety of fleet-based operations.
