Did you know - September 2024
Recently we presented you some of the novelties in the Frotcom system. Today it is the turn of some of the interesting and up-to-date functionalities that you can use such as:
1. FUEL MANAGEMENT MODULE
You cannot find an explanation why the fuel consumption of some vehicles is so different. Fuel theft is a problem that many companies face.
If you too have fallen into this maelstrom and are wondering what is going on, then Frotcom has the right solution for you. Thanks to our Fuel Management module, you control fuel levels and consumption.
Frotcom can constantly monitor the fuel levels in the tanks, with any fluctuation in the fuel level being analyzed to detect fueling or draining.
The system offers the ability to set alarms to immediately alert you and the driver when a drain is present.
In addition, when working with the Expense Management module, you can compare the amounts of fuel filled with the data from the recorded expenses (receipts, invoices, etc.).
For added protection, you can install a security accessory in the neck of each tank to avoid theft by draining, while not interfering with fueling.
When the two modules Fuel Management and Cost Management "work together", you can be sure that your fuel expense records reflect the true fuel consumption.
And thanks to the Fuel Management report, you can see the evolution of the fuel in the tank for one or several vehicles on the main indicators they have chosen. In the report you can configure to receive information about:
- availability of fuel in the tank at the beginning and end of the selected period;
- detection of filling or draining operations in the tank;
- total expected consumption;
- average consumption;
The report can be generated for a specific period, with a maximum of 30 days back. You can choose to have a detailed or summary view, depending on your needs. Whether it is for a specific car/s or the entire fleet.
2. FUEL LEVEL
To protect the fuel in the tanks of your vehicles as much as possible, Frotcom can offer you a several solutions.
One of the best defenses is to install fuel level probes in the tanks of vehicles. Thanks to them, you will know with great accuracy about each filling or draining of fuel in/from the tank. The information that is displayed in the system is in the form of a graph showing the movement of the fuel level. In the event of a large charge or discharge, you can establish the exact time, place of the event, and take preventive measures.
3. COST MANAGEMENT MODULE
What is your fleet’s current cost per km? Chances are you do not know the answer to that question. In fact, there is no exact answer. It all depends on how you calculate it.
There’s a lot more to managing a fleet than keeping track of vehicles. Keeping track of fleet costs is also a very important part of a fleet manager’s job.
Frotcom’s Fleet cost management module allows you to register and control your vehicle costs in an integrated and convenient way. Not only are you able to register all costs, you can also schedule fixed costs and calculate cost/km and cost/hour ratios, among others. Frotcom can actually crosscheck the cost information you enter with the GPS locations of the vehicles, thereby adding an extra degree of control to your cost management. For example, you can verify if the vehicle was actually at the fuel station at the time printed on the fuel receipt. You can also validate the odometer information associated with the fuel receipt.
Recurring costs allow you to schedule fixed charges, such as vehicle depreciation or insurance, thereby automatically adding these costs to the vehicle cost list.
Finally, not only can you register and control all fleet costs, but you can also calculate the real costs of each individual vehicle, as well as cost/km and other ratios.
