FLUID MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

HOW ADVANCED FLUID MANAGEMENT REDUCES COSTS AND LABOR EXPENSES

Profits are leaking away along with the fluid

In many workshops, a significant amount of valuable fluid is being lost in multiple ways. Technicians using too much fluid, leaking dispensing guns, spills… Many workshops find on average, 12% of the total oil volume is lost and cannot be charged because of inefficient manual fluid dispensing.

Every time you spill fluid, your profit is leaking away with it. Not only on the work floor, but also in the back office.

Think about the time-consuming billing process that goes along with it. In short, inefficient fluid management leads to unnecessary costs and labor expenses.

5 ways advanced fluid management eliminates expensive shortcomings

In a traditional workshop with manual dispensing, there are a lot of hidden costs. An advanced fluid management system eliminates these expensive shortcomings from your workshop.

There are five important ways an advanced fluid management system will reduce costs and labor expenses in your workshop.

1 I No more fluid loss Many workshops find on average, 12% of the total oil volume is lost, remaining uncharged.

In a workshop with an annual oil consumption of 10,000 liters, this results in a total loss of aproximately € 10,000. An advanced fluid management system eliminates duplicate changes, human error, and spillage.

2 I Less dispensing time A fluid management system automatically delivers the right fluid in the right quantity. It eliminates surprises, interruptions, and delays, letting technicians spend more time serving customers. Equip your mobile dispense units and drums with advanced fluid management to reduce extra steps and hassle on the work floor.

3 I No more incorrect billing Every ounce of fluid is automatically assigned to the right work order to simplify billing and maximize profit. When technician mistakes do occur, all dispenses are recorded.

4 I No more manual administration With labor being one of the biggest cost concerns, fluid management systems can reduce or eliminate time spent on inventory reconciliation, billing, and manual paperwork..

5 I No more downtime A fluid management system monitors bulk fluid tank levels. It eliminates the risk that you will run out of fluid, cutting downtime and providing a more efficient and safer way to handle full waste oil tanks.
