Fuel management systems are essential for any business that relies on vehicle fleets or on-site fueling. But like any technology, they can run into issues. From inaccurate readings to unauthorized fuel use, these problems can cost you time, money, and operational efficiency.
Here’s a breakdown of the most common problems—and how to fix them using SCI’s fuel management solutions.
Problem 1 – Inaccurate Fuel Tracking
The Issue:
Manual logs, outdated systems, or poor sensor calibration can result in inaccurate fuel tracking, which leads to data mismatches and confusion.
The Fix:
Use LevelShield for real-time, sensor-based fuel level monitoring. Integrated with FuelB4, this system provides accurate, up-to-the-minute data on tank levels, helping you eliminate guesswork and discrepancies.

Problem 2 – Fuel Theft or Unauthorized Access
The Issue:
Without proper control, fuel theft—either internal or external—is a real risk. Unauthenticated fueling is hard to trace, and fuel losses often go unnoticed.
The Fix:
FuelShield prevents unauthorized access by requiring driver authentication via PIN or vehicle tag before fueling. Every transaction is logged in real-time, so you know exactly who fueled, when, and how much.

Problem 3 – Poor Inventory Management
The Issue:
Manually tracking fuel inventory leads to overordering, stockouts, and delays. This disrupts operations and increases costs.
The Fix:
With FuelB4 and LevelShield, you can automate inventory tracking and receive alerts when tanks reach a set threshold. You’ll know when to reorder—and how much.
Problem 4 – Difficulty Reconciling Fuel Data
The Issue:
Matching fuel purchased, delivered, dispensed, and used can be a nightmare without automation. Spreadsheets are prone to human error and are time-consuming to manage.
The Fix:
FuelB4 simplifies reconciliation by comparing transaction data, tank readings, and delivery records in a single dashboard. You get a clear picture of what was delivered, what was used, and what may be missing.

Problem 5 – Lack of Real-Time Insights
The Issue:
Without real-time data, managers can’t react quickly to leaks, unauthorized use, or fuel shortages.
The Fix:
SCI’s cloud-based platform, FuelB4, delivers real-time reporting, alerts, and dashboards. You’ll make smarter decisions faster, with the confidence that comes from up-to-the-minute data.
Problem 6 – No Accountability or Oversight
The Issue:
If you can’t track who is using fuel, when, and why, it’s impossible to enforce accountability or prevent misuse.The Fix:
Using FuelShield, every transaction is linked to a specific driver and vehicle. Coupled with reports in FuelB4, you’ll have complete traceability—creating a culture of responsibility and transparency.
