True to its name, on-site refuelling services allows you to refuel your fleet or equipment anywhere and anytime you need it. With these services, the fuel you buy is directly delivered to your fleet or into your machines.
Tailor-fitted solutions
Every kind of business has different needs when it comes to the amount of fuel they consume for each day of production. Many companies now offer on-site refuelling solution to accommodate the needs of a specific business. By getting these services from your fuel provider, you can rest assured that you will not run out of fuel when you need it most.
No storage tanks required
When fuel is directly delivered to your fleet or equipment, you need not worry about spending money in buying expensive storage tanks. Getting these arrangements, you wouldn’t have to stress yourself thinking if your fuel is stored properly and you don’t have to maintain storage tanks and pay for repairs. Also, you won’t have to worry about relocating owned fuel tanks whenever you relocate or reposition your operations.
Reduced operating cost
Some people assume that specialised fuel solutions are more expensive and offer no benefit to their business. Most of the time, this assumption is wrong. On-site refuelling helps in reducing driver downtime and increasing productivity. With on-site refuelling, your drivers won’t have to go to service stations to for refuelling. It also helps you save time and money since you won’t have to hire another person for the administration of fuel.
The right equipment
Fuel storage and delivery require the use of expensive tanks engineered to maintain the quality of the stored fuel, especially as it is being transported. Many businesses/operations that require a large amount of fuel don’t usually have the right equipment for its storage and delivery. Hence, many fuel distributors have started offering bulk fuel and onsite fuel delivery services so that business owners won’t have to worry about it. Bulk tanks with residual fuel remaining are impossible to relocate due to structural strain when lifting. Relocating bulk tanks pose safety and environmental risks due to potential spills.
Facilitation/Administration of fuel delivery
Fuel administration has to be monitored, especially for bulk fuel deliveries. On-site fuel deliveries are ideal for project-based operations because it allows business owners and operators to monitor their fuel consumption. Since these deliveries or transaction are documented and monitored, it is easier for business owners or administrators to detect any kind of theft that occurs. Fuel theft from an unattended bulk tank is a potential risk, with on-site refuelling, there is no bulk fuel to worry about.
Accounting
The customer does not have to tie-up their cash on excess fuel sitting in a bulk tank, till they eventually use it. Pay as you go, in much smaller amounts, can assist the company with cash flow. Cost accounting is more accurate as their fuel spends for a specific job can be better measured as opposed to excess residual bulk fuel that may be retained in a bulk tank – for the next job. Separate billing for individual plants can be arranged. This provides a clear indication to your cost accountants of the actual fuel cost per piece of plant – great for more accurate cost/expense accounting.
On-site refuelling may not be suitable for all kinds of businesses, but it is one of the many ways to help a business to be more efficient and productive. Other factors that business owners should consider is the amount of fuel needed for each day of production. As well as the frequency of fuel deliveries to find out whether or not this option will be beneficial to their business.
