Overview

Combining automatic routing and intelligent optimization, AMCS Fuel Planner provides effective planning tools to help fuel and lubricants companies deliver better customer service at lower costs.  This smart fuel distribution software has a high level of industry-specific functionality configured to simplify tasks such as compartment planning, delivery forecasting, and order prioritization.  With intelligent optimization, fuel and lubricant companies can deliver increased agility with reduced planning effort and minimal CO2 emissions. Helping you increase profit and drive productivity for a more environmentally responsible approach to fuel distribution. Developed to handle the particular demands of liquid, fuel and gas distribution, AMCS Fuel Planner offers a tailored solution to manage the logistic challenges of these industries.  With support for complex compartment loading and volume deviations our built-in logic minimizes planning time, while intelligent algorithms help build routes based on all relevant business constraints such as ADR legislation, contamination rules, compartment capacities, loading and unloading constraints, etc.  Ensuring you can carry out timely fuel deliveries with full visibility across orders received, fuel depots, VMI, gauging, and on-board systems for maximum flexibility and more accurate forecasting. 

How will AMCS Fuel Planner help your business?

Reduce costs Built to handle real-life challenges in the downstream fuel and lubricants industry, AMCS Fuel Planner helps you minimize mileage and drive time, reducing operational costs by 5–15%.  Increase customer satisfaction Improve delivery scheduling and demand planning to deliver best-in-class customer service and enhanced responsiveness while balancing costs and service demands.  Boost productivity Spend 25–50 % less time on planning and resource scheduling with streamlined route planning and custom configuration tools designed specifically for liquid fuel, gaseous fuel and lubricant distribution.

Key Features

Operational planning Boost both customer service and productivity by performing incremental and batch planning to streamline scheduling and simplify order time-slotting.  Tank level forecasting Determine where and when deliveries are required with the ability to forecast tank stock levels and automatically release and dynamically adjust orders for planning as needed. This also effectively eliminates incidents where product is left on board.  Resource scheduling Prioritize resources using automatic planning parameters based on vehicle and driver qualifications, product pricing, lowest mileage, and product availability at terminals. User friendly and highly automated resource scheduling using the built-in rostering tools.  Execution monitoring Improve visibility with real-time monitoring via status messages with accurate GPS location, facilitating live re-optimization and data collection from trucks.  Prevent contamination Minimize risk of contamination and ensure correct delivery through integration with on truck pump systems.  Effective follow-up Integrate in real-time with ERP, order, and reporting systems, supplying collected data for reporting, invoicing, self-billing and statistics.  Intelligent simulation Develop what-if-scenarios to simulate the consequences of using alternative terminals or different vehicle types, helping you assess resource requirements and evaluate customer service levels.
