Car & Truck Dealer Systems

Our Fleet Fuel Management Systems Give You Complete Control Over a Critical, Costly Resource

Fuel costs are a major expense at any car or truck dealership. The opportunity for fuel misallocation and waste increases in proportion to the size and variety of inventory, the number of employees and the range of fuel uses. Whether it’s a full tank for the new car buyer or a few gallons for a test drive, whether it’s high octane for a high performance vehicle or diesel for a long-cab pickup truck, our Dealer Fuel Management Systems let you set the rules and control the dispensing.

Genus® Fuel Island Overview

This system tracks fuel dispensed and controls dispenser operation. The system evokes user-defined rules and limits for fuel dispensed and is designed to work well with rapidly changing dealer vehicle inventory. There is tracking of the person who did the fueling, the unit number of the vehicle, the amount fueled, the dispenser number, and the date and time.

The system identifies the operator with either a badge or keyboard PIN entry and authorizes that individual based on an authorization time schedule. The vehicle is identified by either the barcode stock number or the manufacturer’s VIN. The tracking of fuel dispensed is based on the purpose for fueling with user-defined limits. The categories include pre-delivery inspection, test drive, new car delivery, repair order and several internal uses, such as company maintenance equipment and vehicles. There is also a provision for cost-center tracking, such as different operation groups and customer billings for repair orders.

This product is mounted near a fuel dispenser to track and control fuel dispensing by applying rules for authorization to use. The rules require a valid user and valid vehicle, with fuel amounts limited to user-defined measures set for each type of fueling event, such as new car delivery, test drive, maintenance equipment, and more.
