Fuel is the life-blood of any fleet or public transportation organization, but as a mission-critical asset, it can be difficult to manage. Unlike other consumable commodities, the price of fuel is hypersensitive to market influences. As a result, fuel is often the most significant expense incurred by fleet and public transportation organizations, and tracking fuel costs and consumption becomes essential to controlling the bottom line.

MAXIMUS understands the challenges inherent to implementing an effective fuel and fluid management program. That's why we offer FuelFocus™, a system that supports continuous, real-time fuel management over virtually any communication platform. FuelFocus can help your organization improve accountability for metered or pulsed consumables, including gasoline, diesel, propane, CNG, glycol and lubricants, and better accountability can translate into:

• Fuel consumption savings of up to 15%



• Reductions in "shrinkage" of 10-20%

A Complete Solution

The FuelFocus system includes a sophisticated combination of hardware and software to manage consumable assets across your enterprise. FuelFocus processes the issue, receipt, and transfer of all fuel and fluid consumables, including commercially purchased fuel.

When integrated with MAXIMUS FleetFocus™ line of fleet management solutions, data captured by FuelFocus (such as odometer readings and hour meters) can be validated against values stored in a single, centralized database. Integration brings a number of benefits, including:

• Greater Efficiency — Because FuelFocus is integrated with your Fleet Management system, all pertinent information is maintained in a single database.



• Accuracy and Consistency of Information — With a single data source, key information is always current (e.g., work orders, fuel transactions, motor pool tickets, and usage tickets.) The timeliness of preventive maintenance scheduling is improved, because hour-meter and odometer readings are processed and validated in a central database.



• Greater Access to Information — Access to relevant fuel consumption data is available from any workstation on the system, and vehicle maintenance data is available at the FuelFocus Island Control Units (ICU's). Customization of the system will enable your organization to implement a centralized or decentralized fuel management system.
