Fuel management has long been a challenge for businesses relying on large-scale operations. With more than 30 years of expertise backing its development, the SkyBitz SmartTank Portal and app was launched to transform how companies monitor, optimize, and manage their fuel usage.
Our team partnered with SkyBitz, a brand of AMETEK® Telular, in bringing SmartTank to market, delivering an intuitive, data-driven solution that empowers users with real-time insights, predictive analytics, and cost-cutting strategies to maximize their ROI.
This case study showcases how DragonSpears, an Improving company, worked with SkyBitz to apply software development solutions, solving the challenges in fuel management, and delivering practical, impactful, and scalable results.
Challenges
Before SmartTank, companies faced common inefficiencies in fuel management:
- Unnecessary refills & high transport costs due to lack of real-time data.
- Emergency fuel shortages leading to downtime, expensive refills, and labor overruns.
- Inefficient delivery routes increasing fuel usage, maintenance costs, and wear and tear.
- Difficulty tracking fuel consumption patterns, leading to undetected waste and short fills.
- Lack of long-term data for strategic decision-making.
Without a centralized, easy-to-use system, businesses struggled to gain control over their fuel expenses and sustainability efforts.
