From ticket to spreadsheet to database....

Recently a roofing contractor called me to inquire about fuel management systems. He told me that he had 120 vehicles and that all he did was sit for hours every day entering fuel tickets into his spreadsheet program. I asked him what he did with them after that. He said, " I send them to my secretary to enter into our accounting program". It turned out that he was spending on average 1 1/2 hours everyday of his time and the accounting employee was spending another hour to update the accounts. When he couldn't read the writing or make out the odometer information, he would call the driver in at the end of the day and clear up the confusion. In a normal month he would spend 34.5 hours entering tickets and the accountant 23 hours. I asked him how much his time was worth and he said that his pay worked out to around $28 per hour and the accountant was $20. I calculated how much money it cost him and it came to $12,360 per year just to do this one small task. I told him that our SmartMile product would completely remove that task from his day and allow him to focus on more productive activities. The best news was that the SmartMile would pay for itself inside of one year just on the labor savings alone. SmartMile is "Smart Business".
