Each person requiring access to the fuel management service would be issued with a user name and password. One or more individuals can have administrator level access rights to be able to add and delete users.
Details of each vehicle in the fleet is entered on to the web service, setting product restrictions, mileage prompts, etc, and also assigning the vehicle in to groups so that meaningful reports may be generated.

The Real time stock view across all tanks on all sites with predictions based on current usage of when to re-order stock, and how long the current stock will last The system will generate e-mails automatically when stocks run low.
The system will generate monthly reports and distribute them automatically leaving the user free to concentrate on managing issues raised rather than moving paper.
The system automatically generates real time fuelling information highlighting vehicles and people using excessive amounts of fuel. The web service lets you quickly delve in to the data behind these issues.
The system will show when there are peaks and troughs in demand for fuel, comparing fuel usage year on year. The system will also compare the price you are paying for fuel with the average refinery gate price.
If you have a Telematics (Vehicle Tracking) system fitted to your vehicles then it may be possible for the Jigsaw system to interrogate the Telematics server to automatically gather mileage information and add it to your fuelling transactons, negating the need for driver typed mileage entry.
Useful System Features :
If Drivers cant be relied on to type in accurate mileages, then hardware may be fitted to the vehicles which will automatically gather and pass the mileage from the vehicle to the fuel island. Jigsaw Midas, FuelGuard and EasyFuel all have this option. Alternatively, if the vehicle is fitted with a tracking system, then some of these pass the vehicles mileage back to the telematics server. Jigsaw have interfaces to several telematics servers to recover this mileage automatically.
Whilst not strictly necessary for stock management, Tank Gauging is a recommended add on to the system as it gives confirmation to the book stock level, and makes short deliveries, fuel theft, and bad pump calibration obvious and quick to spot.
Identifying the driver will enable the system to give valuable information on driver efficiency and misuse of company fuel.
Many times a “Yard Key” is issued which is used to fuel visiting vehicles, contract hire vehicles and just about anything else - legitimate or otherwise. Plan for these eventualities by holding spare keys on site that can be issued and recovered as necessary - alternatively the yard key can be a fueller tag or master tag where a valid registration number must be entered.
Consider Green Fuels. Whilst most commercial vehicles still use diesel and gas oil, there is more and more concern for the problems of NOx and particulate emissions. There is even talk of banning diesel vehicles form city centres. Jigsaw is working with several hauliers and independent gas supply companies to establish a network of CNG and LNG fuelling stations.
If your pumps are getting past their prime Jigsaw offer several integrated solutions which save space and money. The fuel management system and the pump are built together in to one cabinet. This is especially useful on single pump sites.
Options to consider :
Unique Jigsaw Vision Tiles give Real Time information in an easy to digest format. This one shows the price being paid on each site (red and purple) compared to the refinery gate price (black)
Above - Examples of some of our Haulage Refuelling Sites
The Fuel Island Controller gives 24 hour Secure access to the fuel pumps. A Single terminal can manage up to four pumps, and Haulage sites will typically monitor both Diesel and AdBlu. For refrigerated haulage, there will also be a Gasoil (Red Diesel) Pump. A site can have as many terminals as are required.
Each vehicle will have an RFID fob tag issued to it which is attached to the vehicles key ring. Additionally, each driver may optionally be issued with an RFID tag, or at least be issued with a driver ID number which may be entered at the keypad.
The fuelling transaction will contain details of which vehicle was fuelled, when it was fuelled, what products it took along with the quantities of those products. Additionally, the mileage at the time of fuelling, and the driver ID may also be gathered.
For complete stock management, a tank gauging system would be added to the fuel tanks and integrated with the fuel management system so that fuel deliveries may be confirmed and checked, and theft from the tanks detected.
One or more Jigsaw Eclipse Terminals will be fitted to the fuel island and connected to control and monitor each pump so that fuel may only be drawn on presentation of a valid vehicle ID tag and Driver ID.
Any reports which need to be generated daily, weekly or monthly are configured as required so that they will automatically be produced and distributed.
E-mail addresses may be entered so that warnings of low fuel stocks etc. may be directed to the relevant staff as they occur. Offsite Fuellings can be imported directly from your card issuers data files so that you have a complete picture of all the fuellings.
