Fuel operations control means recording every movement of fuel — intake at depots, refuelling at stations, dispensing from tankers and drains from vehicle tanks — and checking that the numbers match. Omnicomm combines high-precision fuel level sensors, GPS trackers and Omnicomm Online, so fuel theft prevention is based on measured litres rather than paperwork.
Fuel moves through long chains: vehicles refuel at public stations, fuel is delivered to local storage and distributed by mobile tankers, and large enterprises run their own depots and fuel trucks. Fuel cards only show what was paid for, and factory gauges have up to 20% error, so refuelling of 20–50 litres is often missed and gradual drains are not seen at all.
Sensors in vehicle tanks, tankers and storage tanks register each refuelling and drain with time, place and volume. Omnicomm Online automatically compares refuelling volumes with fuel card or receipt transactions and tanker dispenses, and sends alerts when they do not match. Even small repeated drains under 5 litres are detected.
The Fuel Balance report reflects fuel intake, movement and consumption across the company’s whole infrastructure, including sites with several tanks. Fuel events can be pushed to ERP and accounting systems via the REST API, so reconciliation with fuel card statements happens automatically.
Fleets typically eliminate detectable theft within the first one to two months. For a deeper look at how much fuel each vehicle burns per kilometre or engine hour, combine fuel operations control with fuel consumption monitoring.
Yes. Fuel theft costs the global transport industry over $1.2 billion every year, and 73% of commercial fleets are hit annually, most of it internal. Precision sensors detect every drain event, even small repeated drains under 5 liters, and trigger instant alerts. Fleets typically eliminate detectable theft within the first 1-2 months of installation.
Fuel theft takes more forms than most operations managers realize, especially on diesel truck and heavy-equipment fleets where the per-tank value of fuel is high. Direct siphoning from the diesel tank is the obvious pattern, but the costlier ones are false refueling (the driver buys 80 liters on the fuel card and only 60 reach the tank), ghost loads (the tanker arrives at the depot reporting full but is partially empty), and fuel card fraud (cards used to fill non-fleet vehicles). A precision fuel monitoring system catches all four because the in-tank sensor reports the actual liters received and the timing of every change. The platform compares fuel card transactions, depot dispenses, and sensor data and flags every mismatch. A municipal fleet of 500 vehicles in Belgrade cut fuel consumption 15 to 40 percent within two months of installing OMNICOMM equipment. Transportes Masa in Colombia identified and eliminated previously invisible theft after switching from CANBUS data to dedicated LLS sensors. The first month after deployment is usually when the largest reductions appear.
Yes. Through the REST API, OMNICOMM data flows into SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, NetSuite, and most modern ERP and CRM systems. Fuel card transactions reconcile against actual sensor readings to catch unauthorized purchases, ghost refuels, and card cloning. For complex projects, OMNICOMM and its partners provide integration consulting and custom development services.
ERP integration is the most common high-value integration use case. The typical workflow is to push fuel events from Omnicomm Online into the ERP's general ledger, where they reconcile against fuel card transactions, depot dispense records, and accounting entries. Differences between the three sources flag fraud and operational issues before they become large losses. SAP integrations are common in large industrial operations (mining, construction, oil and gas). Microsoft Dynamics 365 integrations are common in European corporate fleets. Oracle and NetSuite are typical for multi-region enterprises. For fuel card reconciliation specifically, OMNICOMM data is matched against transaction data from major fuel card providers, exposing patterns such as card-on-vehicle mismatches (the card was used to fill a different vehicle than the assigned one), volume mismatches (the card transaction says 80 liters, the tank sensor shows 60 liters received), and timing anomalies (the transaction happened at a station the vehicle never visited per GPS). For specialty integrations, OMNICOMM and its partner network deliver consulting services with experience across major ERP, CRM, and fuel card platforms.
A fuel management system is automated when it captures fuel data without manual input, generates alerts and reports without operator intervention, and adjusts to changing conditions (fuel type, temperature, tank shape) without recalibration. OMNICOMM automates four layers: precision data capture (sensors report 24/7), data quality (FuelScan and LLS 6 AI smooth noise on the sensor), event detection (theft, idle, anomalies trigger alerts), and reporting (50+ reports update continuously).
Older fuel management approaches relied heavily on manual entries: driver-logged refuel amounts, paper trip sheets reconciled against fuel card statements weeks later, manual calibration every time the fuel type changed. The data quality was poor and the operational overhead was high. A modern automated fuel management system removes the manual touch points end to end. Sensors capture real fuel data autonomously, FuelScan auto-adapts when fuel composition changes, CalibrateX automates tank calibration during install, alerts fire automatically when patterns deviate, and reports refresh continuously without anyone running them. ERP integration via the REST API closes the loop by feeding fuel events directly into corporate accounting, so even the reconciliation step happens automatically. LLS 6 AI extends automation further by running a neural network on the sensor itself, eliminating data spikes before they reach the platform. A fleet manager logs in to see exceptions, not to compile reports.
Omnicomm Online ships with 50+ fuel and fleet analytics reports out of the box, covering consumption versus quotas, fill and drain events, driver behavior scoring, idle time, geofence breaches, maintenance schedules, and CO2 emissions. The platform tracks 150+ parameters per vehicle or asset and supports email and SMS alerts. Reports export to PDF and Excel, or pull into a BI dashboard via REST API.
The report library is organized by the three pillars of fuel efficiency. Fuel Operations reports cover loads (refueling events), drainings (unauthorized fuel removal), dispenses (fuel given to vehicles from depot tankers), and reconciliation between dispensed and received volumes. Fuel Consumption reports cover total consumption, actual L per 100 km for vehicles, actual L per hour for heavy machinery, quota comparison versus norms, and idle time waste. Fuel Usage reports cover consumption with auxiliary equipment on or off (PTO, refrigeration units), consumption inside or outside geofences, and consumption during specific route segments. On top of the standard library, partners can build custom reports using the report builder, and Enterprise Server customers can commission fully bespoke analytics. ESG reports include the standard scope 1 emissions calculation directly from fuel data, exportable in formats compatible with CSRD, SBTi, CDP, and GHG Protocol disclosures.
