AssetWorks, a leading provider of fleet management software and automated fuel management systems, announced that long-time customer City of Hampton, Va. has extended their use of AssetWorks fleet solutions by integrating the FuelFocus fuel management solution with AssetWorks comprehensive maintenance management software, FleetFocus.
Hampton Fleet Services has relied on the FleetFocus fleet management solution for 12 years to track all maintenance activities for their fleet of 1,500 vehicles. FuelFocus Island Control Units (ICUs) will be installed on two fuel islands to dispense diesel, unleaded gasoline and oil, with future expansion to include Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF).
“We look forward to having FuelFocus installed and being able to take advantage of the integration to FleetFocus. One of the main reasons we selected FuelFocus to manage our fuel consumption and dispensing was its use of RFID technology. Automatic meter updates can help us save time and be proactive with our preventive maintenance scheduling,” said Rick Russ, Director of Fleet Services. “We have been using FleetFocus successfully for years and the integration of FuelFocus and the Automated Fluid Control System from Lincoln Industrial Corp will be great additions to both our maintenance and fueling operations. We look forward to the added capabilities of report generation which will assist us in many areas of fleet analysis.”
Together FleetFocus and FuelFocus provide an integrated system on a single database to track all maintenance activities from start to finish. At the time of fuel dispensing, FuelFocus authorizes the vehicles and wirelessly captures a meter reading, which is passed in real-time as opposed to an after the fact download.
Accurate and up-to-date meter readings are the cornerstone of preventive maintenance scheduling. In a phased implementation, Hampton will also utilize FuelFocus RFID technology that allows vehicles to be authorized and provide meter readings automatically without the use of a keypad. Reducing manual entry and duplicate data recording can save Hampton time and money.
As part of the upgrade and installation of FuelFocus, Hampton will also be installing the Lincoln Lube LFC 5000 Fluid Inventory Control & Management System with full integration into FleetFocus. This integration will allow FleetFocus to track the dispensing of all fluids during routine maintenance of their vehicles. Together, these integrated products provide a comprehensive fleet, fuel and fluids maintenance management solution.
