Track the tanker Not just the truck
“Tankers short on arrival. Drivers diverting loads. Cross-border fuel runs with zero visibility.”
Fuel transportation fraud in South Africa costs operators hundreds of millions annually. A tanker leaves the depot full. It arrives at the delivery site short. Somewhere on the route, fuel was offloaded into a waiting container — or the driver made an unapproved stop at a farming operation or construction site and sold direct. Without real-time fuel level monitoring and PTO/delivery valve control, there is no evidence and no recovery.
Tanker short on delivery
A 25,000-litre tanker leaves the depot with a dip. It arrives 2,000 litres short. The driver claims evaporation and road loss. Without calibrated real-time level monitoring, you argue. With FuelPortal, you know exactly when and where the 2,000 litres left the tank.
Delivery valve activated outside authorised zones
The delivery pump is identical to the PTO problem in mining — a driver can offload at any stop if the valve isn't geo-locked. Without geo-zone-based delivery control, the driver controls where your fuel goes.
Cross-border fuel deliveries go dark
Fuel tankers crossing into Mozambique, Zimbabwe, or Zambia lose signal on standard SIMs. A 35,000-litre tanker carrying diesel to a mining operation can be dark for 12 hours — plenty of time for unauthorised offloading.
Driver diversion to sell at inflated local prices
In fuel-scarce corridors, a tanker driver can sell 5,000 litres at a roadside cash price that exceeds the delivery rate. Without route monitoring and delivery valve logs, diversions are only discovered in the dip survey.
How we solve it for fuel transportation operators
GotYou combines FuelPortal real-time level monitoring with delivery valve PTO control — both using the same geo-zone device memory technology as the mining PTO Lockout system. The delivery pump is disabled outside authorised delivery zones. Real-time level data is transmitted continuously, and any unexplained drain is flagged immediately.
FuelPortal Real-Time Level Monitoring
Calibrated Escort sensors in every tanker compartment. Live fuel level visible in the platform. Any unexplained drain — regardless of GPS coverage — is logged with timestamp, location, and quantity.
Geo-Locked Delivery Valve Control
The delivery pump is disabled outside defined authorised delivery zones — identical technology to the mining PTO Lockout. Stored in device memory. Active without GSM coverage. No driver workaround.
Route and Stop Monitoring
Every stop over 3 minutes is logged with GPS coordinates and duration. Unauthorised stops — especially in fuel-scarce corridors — trigger immediate alerts. Compare stop locations against authorised delivery points.
Cross-Border Continuity
Flo.LIVE Multi-IMSI SIM keeps cross-border tankers online from Johannesburg to Maputo, Harare, and Lusaka without coverage gaps. Real-time level data transmitted throughout.
Delivery Confirmation Reports
Every authorised delivery generates an automated report — time, GPS coordinates, quantity dispensed, and driver ID. Dip-survey matching built in. Dispute resolution backed by data.
