Gaughran Brothers Transport Ltd, a general haulage company based in County Meath needed a new ‘smart’ monitoring system to manage its fuel supplies. The company has three onsite fuel tanks to support its fleet of 30 vehicles – two diesel tanks of 20,000 and 40,000 litre capacity and a 5,000 litre AdBlue tank.
Fuel is a major overhead, however, the management system provided no stock level information, often leading to the company either running out of fuel or forced to spot buy, which was expensive. Staff also had to periodically climb into the tanks – a dangerous undertaking when temperatures dropped below freezing.
