Managing your fuel expenses just got a lot easier!

 Fuelman

Introducing Fuelman, the newest member of the HGACBuy Cooperative Purchasing Program. Fuelman is a fleet management solution that helps governments of all sizes from small municipalities to federal organizations control their vehicle expenses and improve operational efficiencies.
 
Unlike credit cards and cash, Fuelman fleet cards help reduce expenses and unauthorized spending by allowing you to restrict use to fuel and maintenance only. Additionally, each card has customizable authorization limits using parameters such as fuel type, volume-pumped, time and location used, as well as dollars spent on maintenance. So you determine how and who fuels your vehicles. Detailed reporting outlines each transaction so you know exactly how much fuel and other supplies are used for each vehicle, the miles per gallon attained, and how your budget is allocated. Additionally, Fuelman offers free tax exempt purchasing and reporting for qualifying agencies so you don't have to wait for tax reimbursement.
 
How Fuelman works:
Three ways to purchase fuel
§ 
Purchase fuel and maintenance at any one of 35,000 multi-branded commercial locations that accept Fuelman.
§  Purchase consigned fuel for on-site tanks and use Fuelman to control and track inventory so you pay only as you pump.
§  Purchase on-site memo tracking to combine bulk fuel consumption and retail purchases into one comprehensive report.
 
Three Ways to Save Money
§
  Save on overall fuel expenses by eliminating unauthorized fuel use and unwanted spending.
§  Enjoy Competitive OPIS-based, cost-plus pricing for retail and on-site consigned fuel purchases.
§  Eliminate the hassle of reconciling on and off-site fueling with integrated reporting that tracks use by vehicle and driver.
                                                                               
Three Ways to Save Time
§
  The terms are already executed for members - just an easy, customized End User Agreement to sign
§  Flexible billing frequency and payment options reward you with frequent pay discounts.
§  Professional assistance to help youestablish equipment and customized controls, and improve reporting and efficiency
