Fuel Management Case Study Overview
Company: Heidelberg Cement
Location: Germany
Operational Sites: 4
Fleet Size: 200 vehicles
A leading construction materials and cement production company based in Germany faced significant challenges in managing fuel consumption and ensuring the integrity of fuel transactions across their operations. Known as the fourth-largest cement producer globally, the Ready Mix Company sought to optimize fuel management to improve efficiency and reduce costs.
The Problem
Ready Mix Company’s fuel management issues included:
- Unauthorized Fuel Dispensing: The lack of control over fuel dispensing led to unauthorized transactions, contributing to fuel losses.

Fuel Management System Solution

The implementation of SCI’s fuel management solution resulted in measurable benefits for the Ready Mix Company:
- Fuel Consumption Savings: The company achieved a 7% reduction in fuel consumption, directly impacting cost savings and operational efficiency.
- Enhanced Control: The fixed fuel stations provided greater control over fuel transactions, reducing unauthorized dispensing and improving overall fuel management accuracy.
