Customer Management
The Fuelsoft Delivery Management module helps petroleum and propane distributors provide complete
control of the customer relationship, as well as the ability to analyze sales and forecast delivery
requirements. Customers can choose one or more delivery locations, each treated independently with
the opportunity to define its own unique product and delivery schedule.
You can also choose your
equipment records with Fuelsoft by entering basic details like model number, serial number and
warranty information. This helps to set up service items, such as furnace, water heater, oil,
and propane tank.
The automatic delivery dispatch system lets you create delivery tickets by territory for a particular
date and will help you generate a pre-list for viewing, or automatically create the delivery
tickets for you. Integration routines are also available to communicate with most onboard
delivery truck computers, including MID:COM and Liquid Controls.
Service Management
The Fuelsoft Service Management module gives users a competitive edge with superior customer service
operations to increase customer loyalty while fueling profitability. It helps you create a more productive
work environment with tighter control over parts inventories, costs, workloads and task prioritization.
You can also create service orders right from the customer card or periodic routine for any service
contracts by generating, dispatching, processing and invoicing easily.
Once entered and released,
service orders automatically appear on the dispatch screen assigned to the linked driver.
Mobile Service
The mobile service option is ideal for companies with mobile sales or service
technicians, and enables your service teams to work more efficiently. The
mobile service management application also reduces administrative costs and
helps you provide better customer service since you only need to enter data
once.
Inventory Control & Management
The inventory management module tightens inventory management processes,
helping to increase operational efficiency across your business, improve
customer service, and reduce inventory and distribution costs.
It connects
inventory control, purchasing, and sales order processing with demand
planning to help reduce costs, improve cash flow, and ensure you have
the right stock available when you need it.
Fleet Maintenance
The Fuelsoft Fleet Maintenance module integrates with the Microsoft Dynamics
NAV fixed asset system. It allows users to control and manage the entire
life cycle of all equipment from acquisition to disposal. You have the
ability to define a maintenance schedule, replacement parts, and create
work orders automatically or manually.
It also keeps a history of all
maintenance performed on the vehicle so you can track costs of parts and
labour. This built-in product functionality provides all you need to
keep your fleet on the road and running.
Jobs Management
The Jobs module helps users manage each phase of their jobs and projects with
flexible planning, budgeting and accounting capabilities to ensure profitability
every step of the way. It is easier than ever to make individual project
decisions for your business, giving you single view visibility into your
current and planned projects.
With Jobs, you can understand the true costs
of your projects, and handle multiple job types. You can set up new jobs
quickly and easily, compare actual and budgeted sales and costs in real time,
and calculate the value of work-in-progress for accurate company financial
statements. Tight integration of job costs and consumption with the general
ledger and item tracking help you understand the big picture impact of each
decision.
Accounting & Information Management
Fuelsoft provides hundreds of predefined reports to track operational, financial and clerical performance.
Clients can export data for further analysis, and pinpoint performance by department, product, product
group, site, and customer to identify opportunities and avoid potential problems. Microsoft Dynamics
NAV provides vital up-to-the minute information for fuel distributors with General Ledger, Accounts
Receivable and Accounts Payable functions that are fully integrated with all applications. User-defined
filters and reporting options can analyze company performance and trends for any date entered.
The system enables organizations access to real-time, integrated data and built-in access and analysis
tools, and integration with Office helps people work faster by avoiding the need to jump from one
application to another. Your business can extend its intelligence capabilities with more complex views
of business data and access to big-picture views of company information by adding dedicated business
intelligence software built on the powerful, security-enhanced Microsoft SQL Server platform.

accounts receivable and send out statements in one
day. Issuing invoices sooner also means we are paid
