Fuel tank levels are electronically monitored and reorder alerts are sent to the appropriate manager when the level reaches the minimum order level. Fuel deliveries are recorded and received in the FMS allowing accurate inventory quantity and fuel valuations and the disbursements are reconciled with the delivery to verify accurate quantities. Leak detection, water levels, tank quantities, etc., are available from within the FMS application through integration with the tank monitoring system. ■ Management reports are available via the FMS which also produces data analytics, and transactional history. Reports are available for customers to review and reconcile their fueling history. The daily fuel transactions are integrated with the FMIS.
