Why Fuel Management Matters in the Waste Management Industry
Waste management fleets operate daily with heavy vehicle usage and tight schedules. Fuel makes up a large portion of operating expenses. Without real-time fuel tracking and centralized control, companies risk fuel theft, over-dispensing, inefficient routing, and manual reconciliation errors.
A fuel management system helps waste management companies reduce costs, improve accountability, and streamline operations across sites.
Fuel Management Success in the Waste Management Industry
A waste management company with 84 vehicles across 2 locations was facing:
- No centralized tracking across multiple tanks and sites
- Difficulty reconciling over 22,000 fuel transactions
- Unknown discrepancies and theft risk
- Manual reporting delays and human error
The Solution
SCI deployed a complete, site-to-site fuel management system:
- 3 FuelShield® Terminals for secure, authorized fueling across 6 pumps
- 3 LevelShield® Sensors for real-time tank monitoring on 4 tanks
- FuelB4® Software for automated transaction logging, reporting, and fuel inventory management
This gave the company real-time visibility into tank levels, transaction history, and fuel usage across both sites.
