Challenge
Because fuel is one of the most significant costs on a mine site, unauthorised use can weigh very heavily on the bottom line. Check out how a mine site addressed the concern that their contractors were using more fuel than they were approved, (they had no way to set a dispense limit). They felt they were unable to accurately bill their contractors for fuel, as governed by their contracts.

Technology
Solution
VERIDAPT developed a special feature for our existing AdaptFMS, which enables the client to limit the amount of fuel each vehicle can take per shift, per week, or per month. This means that vehicles can only be filled up once per shift (or other nominated period), which stops drivers taking additional fuel off site, or filling up personal jerrycans.
