Fuel management isn’t just about tracking fuel consumption—it’s a strategic element of fleet operations that directly impacts profitability and sustainability. Yet, many fleet managers overlook hidden costs that silently drain their budgets. From fuel theft to vehicle wear, these inefficiencies add up, jeopardising operational efficiency and bottom lines.
The team at Sanasana, recognised the challenges of poor fuel management and decided to develop a solution to tackle them head-on.
Let’s break down the hidden costs and explore how our system addresses them.
1. Fuel Theft: The Silent Drain
Fuel theft isn’t always obvious; it can manifest through unauthorized transactions, misuse of fuel cards, or even small-scale siphoning over time. These incidents can accumulate into significant losses.
Sanasana’s solution is real time-monitoring and a secure mother-child card system.
Our platform tracks fuel consumption in real time, flagging suspicious patterns that could indicate theft while transactions are tightly linked to specific vehicles, ensuring that fuel is only used where it’s needed.
2. Inefficient Routes: More Miles, More Costs
Poor route planning leads to excessive fuel consumption, delays, and increased wear on vehicles. Each detour or unnecessary mile adds to operational costs and reduces overall efficiency.
Sanasana solves this with advanced route optimisation and driver behaviour and performance analytics.
Our platform uses smart data to plan the shortest and most efficient routes for your fleet. It can also adjust routes in real-time to avoid traffic, bad weather, or unexpected roadblocks. Also, we monitor driver behaviour, such as harsh braking or idling, to promote safer and more fuel-efficient driving while providing feedback to help drivers stay on the best routes.
3. Vehicle Wear and Tear: The Cost of Neglect
Poor fuel management contributes to accelerated vehicle wear, increasing maintenance costs and reducing the lifespan of fleet assets. Frequent stop-and-go driving, overloading, or prolonged idling can wreak havoc on engines and tires.
To get ahead of the problem, Sanasana utilizes predictive maintenance and custom maintenance reports.
In addition to receiving tailored reports to keep your fleet running smoothly while minimizing downtime, our system analyzes vehicle usage data to predict and schedule maintenance before breakdowns occur and and calculates depreciation to help you make informed decisions about replacements or upgrades.
