Fuel Oil Distribution


The Fuel Oil Distribution system is a comprehensive, vendor-independent system that will serve the needs of a multi-branch operator by allowing each branch to operate independently but still provide consolidated management and accounting information to the corporate head office. It interfaces with both Automated Wireless Environments (AWE) and RAM card wireless applications to provide a functional and reliable system in which client location, billing, driver routing and scheduling information is transmitted from the corporate IT environment to the truck. The truck returns with volume, product, location and invoicing data whenever it is within transmitting range. The received truck data is distributed automatically to the various inventory, accounting and billing systems which make up the Fuel Oil Distribution system. Features include:

  • Multiple branches
  • The ability to identify and accommodate customers as direct or indirect (customers who receive fuel from the distributor, but are invoiced by the supplier)
  • Multiple billing frequencies for budget plans, lease agreements, and home service plans
  • Daily reconciliation of product purchases, transfers, sales and on-hand inventory volume- corrected to 15 C.
  • Tax structures that involve up to 5 different taxes (road taxes, excise tax, GST, HST, PST) in varying combinations and rates on each product in multiple provinces
  • Driver commissions
  • Dangerous goods documentation
  • Multiple cost structures
  • Databases for storing actual and 50-year average daily maximum and minimum temperatures
  • Databases for volatile products containing special information such as density, coefficient of expansion, and volatility, for reconciling inventory, computing usage and establishing reasonable shrinkage allowances
  • Links to General Ledger for revenue and expense per unit analysis
  • Associating zero to several meters with each inventory location (truck, card lock, bulk carrier)
  • Databases of customer delivery locations (fuel tanks), including codes to identify customers, routes, tank information, products, discounts, pricing, delivery schedules (regular intervals, per call, automatic)
  • Links between product pickup and Accounts Payable and between product delivery and Accounts Receivable, and between all product movement mechanisms and Inventory Control, and the ability to account for volume changes due to the addition of marking agent compounds.
  • Asset rental agreements: Subsystem to manage and bill rented fixed assets. This system tracks the equipment that a customer rents and bills them accordingly.
  • Finance Agreements: Subsystem to manage and bill financed customer amounts. Flexible enough to handle multiple billing frequencies, number of payments and interest rates.
  • Budget Agreements: Subsystem to implement budget payments. These agreements are used to divide a customer’s yearly payments into 10-12 equal monthly payments.
  • Thermal Expansion: Fuel oil transactions may need to be adjusted to handle thermal expansion in certain storage tanks. Most tanks have automatic thermal correction, but there are exceptions. Non-self-correcting tanks need to be identified, coefficient of expansion associated with each product in the product profile, and the expansion adjustment computed, as required.
  • Mechanism for selling fuel on consignment to participating gas stations. In these situations, the fuel is invoiced to a third party
