Dover Fueling Solutions launches synergy fuel site controller
Dover Fueling Solutions (DFS), announced the the launch of PetroVend Synergy Fuel Site Controller (PetroVend Synergy FSC), a singular platform to support fleet operations. The solution consolidates multiple functionalities, including advanced Proprietary Card File (PCF) capabilities, into a streamlined package offering fleet operators unprecedented control, flexibility and efficiency.
By integrating previously separate systems into one comprehensive solution, PetroVend Synergy FSC simplifies operations and reduces points of failure, leading to cost savings for the customer. Fleet operators can now remotely monitor and manage their fueling devices from any location using a PC, tablet or mobile device. Fleet managers can set specific fueling rules based on vehicle type, time of day and fuel type, ensuring precise control over fuel distribution and site operations and enhancing overall efficiency.
"Fleet management faces challenges that span across multiple areas, including fuel fraud, operational efficiencies and the need for real-time visibility and control," says Michael Boyd, senior manager, fleet product management, at DFS. "One of the biggest struggles operators face is fuel fraud, which can account for 6-10% of fuel loss in fleets. This not only impacts bottom line, but also leads to operational inefficiencies such as fuel shortages or over-purchasing. Additionally, the security of fleet sites lags behind retail sites, making them more vulnerable to both internal and external theft, including cyberattacks. Managing all these aspects in an efficient and cost-effective manner is a significant challenge for fleet operators."

“With PetroVend Synergy FSC, we are delivering a comprehensive solution to key challenges fleet operators face every day,” adds Boyd. “It is designed to tackle these challenges by integrating multiple functionalities into a single, comprehensive platform. Its advanced Proprietary Card File (PCF) capabilities offer several security features, including mileage reasonability checks and alerts for incorrect PCF entries, which help prevent unauthorized access and fuel theft. The platform’s remote management features enable operators to monitor and manage fueling devices from any location, ensuring real-time visibility and proactive issue management.”
PetroVend Synergy FSC will also expand its capabilities to include fleet card processing, starting with Wex integration.
"Additionally, upcoming features like Automative Vehicle Identification (AVI) will further simplify processes by transitioning to software-based integration, which is both easier to implement and cost-effective. The system’s integration with Wex and other fleet cards is managed through the DX Fleet subscription, allowing for easy addition and removal of network support. PetroVend Synergy FSC offers a smooth and efficient integration into existing fleet management operations, making it a new industry benchmark solution."
