Having an unusual problem of one of the locations being highly remote and without power meant that this job was slightly different to Merridale’s standard installations but none-the-less, they were able to find the solution quickly and provide a temporary self-sufficient system.
Marcus, who leads operations for the internet provider said “We needed a temporary solution as one of our yards is quite a way away from anything else and we haven’t been able to supply electrical mains there yet. Merridale have been brilliant in accommodating this and have fitted a solar and battery operated management system in place for now, which they can then adjust to connect to the mains as we progress with the project.”
“The transition has been very smooth, and the new system has lessened my workload tenfold. We’re getting so much more out of it than we could have hoped…”
The company now have Merridale’s MX-M fuel management systems working in tandem with each other across all of their sites. Each MX-M fuel management system gives fleet operators the control of up to four pumps with several options available to allow access to refuelling. They also have the option to unlock the benefits of Merridale FuelWorks web-based software to measure fuel usage, vehicle performance, driver efficiency and environmental impact.
“The transition has been very smooth, and the new system has lessened my workload tenfold. We’re getting so much more out of it than we could have hoped. I now get monthly reports automatically downloaded for me, which is fantastic, where I can see all of our usage and refuelling data as well as any deliveries and individual vehicle and driver reports.”
The software has been designed in-house by Merridale to be as user-friendly as possible, without sacrificing any functionality, and allows multiple users to report on and monitor their environmental impact, fuel usage, costs, and vehicle performance across multiple sites or tanks.
The ability of FuelWorks to be accessed through a web browser on any device gives the user complete flexibility and accessibility, eliminating the need for any software to be installed on office computers. This means that users can access the vital data they require, from anywhere, at any time. FuelWorks can also monitor tank levels and predict low stock, sending email alerts as needed.
“The system we had in place before switching to Merridale was ancient and seriously lacked reporting capacity, it just about told us if the pump had been used. As part of the upgrade, we now also use a programme called FleetCheck alongside Merridale’s FuelWorks. It’s brilliant how FuelWorks integrates seemlesly with FleetCheck, so now we have a lot more control over our whole fleet and more reports and data at our disposal than ever before.”
