FUEL ACCOUNTING
The MegaTrak™ Fleet Management and Accounting System is a computerized accounting and security package that allows automated monitoring and controlling of fleet and fueling activity. The system consists of the MegaTrak™ hardware and software using any combination of mediums, or keypad to track fueling operations.
MegaTrak™ uses a Micro Control Unit (MCU), which easily retrofits to each fuel dispenser by direct mount, or is placed on a pedestal nearby to monitor each hose. Each MCU allows direct and immediate operation of individual product hoses. Each driver or operator interfaces with the MCU by using any chosen medium to automatically identify the vehicle, department, number of gallons/liters, odometer reading, etc., without the necessity of constant communication to a main computer. With Host/Remote Modem/LAN communication, the MCU can automatically update key information. Host Site database information such as department number, fuel type, time of operation and odometer level checking, automatically reprograms onto the key during the fueling process. This major, cost-effective feature is called Remote Key Programming.
The Host Site Controller automatically collects all fuel island transactions; controls fuel island activity, programs keys and generates reports. The Host holds and processes all department, vehicle and operator records. The Host is responsible for final transaction processing and uses an attached printer for producing various fuels, performance, accounting and billing reports. In case of communication failure between an MCU and a Site Controller, the fuel system operator can instantly program a 16K microchip key as a “transfer key”. The transfer key is an “electronic clip board” which can automatically download transactions stored in the MCU. The fuel system operator carries the transfer key back to the Host, inserts it into the key drive, and the software automatically downloads the fueling transactions into the system. The transfer key can also be used to download transactions at any online MCU. This patented transfer key capability is an excellent emergency fallback feature, and an alternate low-cost data transfer method available only from MegaTrak™.
The MegaTrak™ System is ETL approved and designed for commercial fuel dispensing.
