Fuel remains one of the highest recurring expenses for logistics and transportation businesses in Nigeria. With fluctuating fuel prices and route inefficiencies, fleet operators are turning to fuel management systems to optimize fuel usage and reduce operational costs. This guide explores what fleet fuel management systems are, their benefits, and how Travo.ng supports logistics providers in implementing them.
What is a Fleet Fuel Management System?
A fleet fuel management system is a digital tool that monitors, records, and analyzes fuel consumption across a company’s fleet. It integrates with vehicle telematics to track:
- Fuel purchase history
- Real-time fuel levels
- Consumption trends per vehicle
- Driver behavior affecting fuel usage
- Fuel theft or unauthorized use
These systems offer actionable insights to reduce waste, improve planning, and increase fleet efficiency.
