PIUSI - Fuel management System
How to save money by reducing fuel consumption
Simply by improving fuel and AdBlue® control and efficiency
with a fuel management system.
What is FUEL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM?
It's a combination of hardware and software designed to:
�
secure driver access
�
monitor and control fuel consumption within the fleet
The system accurately measures and tracks fuel stocks and how it is distributed. This information is then stored in a database and reported to the manager that is using the software or the web portal.
Why do you need a fuel management system?
On deeper research, studies show that a large percentage,
around 40%-60%, is fuel costs when it comes to small or medium sized transport
companies such as cargo companies, courier companies, passenger transport, etc.
If you belong to one of these categories, then you need a
fuel management system to cut the costs.
Small/medium/large farms
Companies renting agricultural vehicles and machinery
Companies operating in agriculture, performing agriculture
tasks
Companies operating in the construction sector
Companies renting vehicles and OFF-ROAD machinery
Private passenger transport companies
Public or state-owned passenger transport companies
Cargo transport and logistics companies
Private companies with a fleet of transport vehicles
In all these sectors, innovation and technology have
developed greatly over the last 20 years, and software and electronic devices
have become common tools for every day activity...
...but the fuel management system has remained on paper...
Without a fuel management system, there are hidden losses and costs that at first glance seem small, but in reality, at the end of the year .... Hidden costs could be up to 5% or more of your fuel costs per year.
Without a fuel management system:
You don't have control over your fuel stock, which can decrease
due to abuse or misuse...
You have no control over non-performing dispensers: which
leak and have improper meters;
You have no control over access to pumps, which can lead to:
misuse/error by unauthorised drivers or operators.
It produces chaos in the office of the person in charge of
fuel consumption because there will be:
- Misreporting
- Underestimated costs
- Longer time to centralize, process data from each
driver/pump/distribution point.
WITH A FUEL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, HIDDEN COSTS AND LABOUR COSTS
ARE REDUCED.
What's more, you always know the actual fuel stock in the
tank.
Reporting is fast, real-time and data management is easy for
the manager.
Only authorised persons can refuel.
3 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD IMPLEMENT A FUEL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
TO REDUCE MISUSE AND ABUSE OF FUEL
Pump access control
Deactivating unauthorised users
No data processing errors
ALWAYS IN CONTROL OF STOCK
Fuel level monitoring
Tank level alarms and notifications
Never run out of stock
REPORTING AND AUTOMATION
Automated reporting
ERP data integration*
How can you implement a fuel management system?
By installing an easy-to-use and intuitive Piusi B.SMART
Software System consisting of hardware and software, based on Bluetooth
technology.
With B.SMART you can easily monitor and manage any fleet,
from the smallest to the largest.
Advantages B. SMART
Easy to set up;
Provides quick check reports as well as complex reports;
Real-time information;
No LAN/Network connection required;
Data can be accessed from the Cloud, anywhere.
How B.SMART works
Open the app, make sure you have turned on the Bluetooth
option and fill in your credentials:
- Dispenser
- Vehicle
- Mileage
If the user does not have a working phone, they can log into the app from a colleague's phone.
If the phone does not have an internet connection, the app saves the data and sends it as soon as it is connected to an internet network.
Fuel the vehicle by choosing the preset option or the desired quantity.
The app will show the fueling operation in real time and at
the end it will send a fueling report.
The report will remain stored on the phone and will be
automatically sent to the fuel management system.
What advantages does this software offer to the managers?
No Software required, can be accessed directly from the
Cloud, from anywhere
Provides real-time data
Can be configured for any type of fleet, from small to large
Can be integrated with ERP system via an API interface
Provides the option to set parameters: location, dispenser,
driver, vehicle categories, fuel type, etc.
Provides downloadable reports in various formats.
Optional - TANK WATCHDOG
By adding a level indicator, the system will show you in
real time how much fuel is in the tank or alert you with in case of problems or
low level.
In addition it offers the possibility to :
Set high or low level alarms
Allow the pump to stop when it reaches a certain level
Send notifications to the manager.
The software platform allows uploading data about the price
and quantity of the fuel supplied, so the manager can handle the fuel orders
correctly, following the price evolution and placing the order with the right
supplier.
Optional - FUEL ECONOMY
Fuel limit management per vehicle and driver
Add, delete and manage fuel from stations
Limit consumption per vehicle/driver/hour/day
Grouping of the vehicle fleet under a specific manager
custom category.
Customise fleet with user or vehicle photos for quick
identification
Identify consumption by vehicle or driver.
CONSUMPTION REPORTS
The app provides quick and detailed fuel consumption
reports:
Fuel/AdBlue® dispenser type
Vehicle type, standard or increased consumption
Fuel consumption according to driver and driving style
Identification of high fuel consumption of drivers
Transactions and costs depending on the station used.
All these options give an overview of refuelling, price of
refuelling, consumption, causes of high consumption, where costs can be
reduced, etc.
B.SMART only works with certain dispensers.
In order to benefit from this solution you need to upgrade your current system with an upgrade kit or make modifications to the existing pump.
Piusi 3000 Supreme is an innovative product that can be upgraded with BSMART system.
