FuelsManager Aviation Cost Savings and Benefits
Cost Savings
- Time and efficiency savings can be recognized by all parties involved, that, in turn can drive competitive negotiations for fuel management processes and services
- Reduce Federal Excise and State Taxes in regions with warm climates by capturing accurate (net) volumes of fuel delivered at the wing
- Automate monthly ExSTARS reporting to the Internal Revenue Service and reduce penalties associated with late submission or incorrect filing
- Reduce over-fuels by providing accurate information to the fueler. To carry less fuel allows airlines to burn less fuel, allowing airlines to buy less fuel
- Eliminate the direct printing costs of paper tickets using paperless electronic ticketing by reducing “ticket running” activities around the ramp
- Reduce environmental liability with every drop of fuel managed
- Reduce broker penalties associated with purchasing fuel
Data Quality and Availability Improvements
- Reduce errors when assigning fuel loads using electronic data distribution
- Reduce errors when recording fuel tickets using automated data collection using real-time, accurate fueling data
Fueling Process Improvements
- Realize improvements in efficiency and reduce time spent solving the problems associated with paper tickets on the ramp, such as weather exposure, losing tickets, illegible entries, calculation errors, etc., with paperless electronic ticketing
- Reduce “running ticket” activities with automated dispatching and electronic ticketing
- Reduce delays and realize time savings for all parties at the gate, in the cockpit and under the wing with timely, accurate and legible electronic data distribution
- Improve efficiency by reducing the administrative workload and data entry requirements on your existing personnel
Optimized Inventory Management
- Identify discrepancies at the fuel farm by monitoring, measuring and tracking fuel receipts and validating actual fuel volumes received from oil companies
- Optimize fuel farm equipment usage and power management while reducing downtime and maintenance requirements by automating your fuel farm facility using the latest industry best practices and standards for facility control.
- Identify potential environmental hazards quickly and reduce fuel losses, fines and clean-up costs associated with storage tank overfills or pipeline leaks
Efficiency in Decision Making
- Identify trends in utilization and performance for manpower, scheduling, equipment and accounting with the availability of fuel data including actual fueling times, average time per fueling, aircraft in/out times, etc.
- Improve operational monitoring and reporting with real-time visibility of fueling operations, such as identify the actual cause of flight delays that may otherwise be attributed to fueling with accurate fueling data
- Improve fuel supply chain management and planning with accurate and reliable inventory reconciliation, gain and loss and fuel usage data
- Accurately manage fuel accounts and reduce broker penalties associated with purchasing fuel
