No More Chasing Receipts: How Hitec Drainage Cut Admin in Half
Daniel, Construction Manager at Hitec Drainage, knows that civil work is hard enough without the headache of missing fuel.
Managing crews across sewer mains, water mains, and subdivisions requires heavy machinery and constant movement. But for a long time, tracking the diesel that powered those machines was a nightmare of paper slips, lost receipts, and end-of-month guessing games.
In 2024, Hitec Drainage switched to Fuellox to stop the guesswork and get back to work.
Hitec Drainage is a growing company with a commitment to civil, water and wastewater projects across Sydney, Illawarra and the Blue Mountains.
The Problem
Endless Paperwork
Before Fuellox, Hitec relied on a traditional fuel card system. It was slow, messy, and frustrating.
Belinda, who handles the admin and accounts, used to dread the end of the month. She had to wait for statements to arrive, then spend hours cross-referencing dates, times, and costs.
On site, it wasn’t much better. If a machine ran dry, work stopped. Someone had to drive a ute to the service station, fill a tank, and drive back. It killed efficiency and added stress to the supervisors.
There were disputes over usage. There were missing dockets. There was a lack of control.
"The most frustrating part of the job was having to go through paperwork, endless paperwork."
— Belinda C, Admin Assistant
The Solution
Simple, Honest Control
Hitec Drainage needed a solution that was built for the real world. They didn’t need complex IT systems or fragile hardware. They needed something their operators could use without a fuss.
They chose Fuellox.
Now, every operator has the app on their phone. Every machine has a sticker. They pull up, scan, punch in their hours, and fill up.
-
No cards to lose.
-
No receipts to chase.
-
No waiting for monthly statements.
The Result
Disputes Are Non-Existent
Since installing Fuellox, the “grey cloud” hanging over their fuel management has vanished.
Belinda can log into the portal and see exactly who filled up, how much they took, and which machine it went into—in real-time. The admin load has been cut in half.
For Daniel, the benefit is peace of mind. He knows his machines are fueled and ready to go before the day starts. The efficiency on site has skyrocketed, and the stress of managing fuel is gone.
"It eliminates a load of paperwork and admin... collecting receipts and stuff like that. With Fuellox, it’s basically non-existent."*
