Keeping track of Manual Fuel Records?
Learn how to maximise your fuel tax recovery combining Manual Records and Fuellox Logbook.
The problem
Save Time with Fuellox Logbook!
Fuellox Logbook is changing the game for businesses with remote fuel storage.
Having multiple teams with multiple fuel tanks leads to several efficincy issues dealing with manual fuel log books:
-
Missing events
-
Missing pages and/or books
-
Difficult to read hand writting
-
Manual labour to enter spread sheets
-
Manual reporting processes
Higher Costs & Inefficiency
Missing Fuel
Weather its lost, or stolen, or not reported its costing more money
High Admin Costs
Dealing with paper, entering data, filling in spreadsheets, are all inefficiencies that cost you money.
Lost Excise Recovery
Without good data it becomes very hard to recover the excise your business is entitled to.
The scale of the problem
Take the example of a small Civil Construction or Earthmoving contractor. Lets assume 5 portable tanks, with 10 operational staff that use those tanks, and 50 peices of plant and equipment.
Thats going to equate to:
-
10-20 fuel purchase receipts per week
-
10 sheets of paperwork to trasnfer to the office each week
-
Difficult to read hand writting
The Risks
There are numerous risks of not managing your fuel expenses.
-
Total fuel purchases of (400L x 10 top ups x 40 weeks) = 160,000L
-
Approx fuel costs of $300,000 pa
-
Total Excise claim of 160,000 * 0.42 cpl = $67,200 in excise recovery
-
Missing 10% of those events is a cost of $6,720 pa.
-
Missing 50% of these events is a cost of $33,600 pa.
-
Costs do not include the administration and labour costs
The ultimate outcome is:
Misuse
“What you fail to measure you fail to manage” said one of the great philosophers.
Unfortunately, in our day and age its well known that fuel is getting stolen within our industry.
Lack of process and reporting makes you a potential victim of fuel theft.

There are numerous measures in place to manage and budget for staff and labour.
What do you have in place to manage fuel costs?
Consider this…
The total value of Fuel + Labour is in some cases well over 70% of the Total Costs of Operations (TCO).
When it comes to labour costs our industry has:
-
time-sheets
-
sign on/sign off systems
-
budgets
-
awards
-
tracking for sick leave, holidays and attendance
-
PAYG
