How can digitalization benefit companies that handle large volumes of fuel, sometimes different suppliers, or different dispatch centers, in the organization of their operations?
As actors and operations multiply in the process linked to this costly input, the risk of information loss -and therefore, the loss of value- is greater. For this reason, the smartest and most efficient way to keep the flow of fuel, its uses and its purchase process under control is through digital records.
A digital geo-management tool allows us to systematize and consolidate this decentralized information and will give us a clear and accurate picture of the use and destination of the fuel, in order to guarantee its traceability and the performance it is giving us.
What information is obtained?
The geo-management tools work in a mobility paradigm, gathering and systematizing dispersed information. As machinery is fueled, the digital system obtains real-time data on the location and destination site, the liters of fuel dispensed, the working hours of the operators in charge, whether the corresponding safety inspections or maintenance checks were performed, and which operators were involved in the process.
The benefits derived from this systematization are overwhelming. Thanks to the monitoring and the constant capacity to gather information, fuel waste is reduced and the theft or loss of this valuable input is avoided, either because information is obtained on the dispatch process and those responsible for it, or on its use, destination and storage. In addition, this registration process is carried out digitally, which is a virtue in itself as opposed to the old-fashioned paper records, which are less secure, less efficient and more costly.
The digitalization of fuel dispatch also allows us to integrate suppliers and the processes that link us to them into our system, in order to digitalize the invoicing process or to centrally manage the purchasing processes and thus have better control over prices and commercial agreements.
Geomanagement is anchored in information and therefore allows an automatic analysis of the variables that arise from fuel use, such as performance per machine, per site or over time. The real-time availability of this information allows for the immediate detection of any anomaly, thus guaranteeing the health of processes, machinery and the financial health linked to this and to the proper use of inputs. In turn, our workforce, equipped with these tools, becomes more responsible in the execution of their daily tasks.
