ARSS worked with Nigraani to equip 350 of their commercial vehicles and equipment with fuel monitoring solution. The savings from the precise and real-time sensors helped realise the return of investment in months. The gains have spread further to stakeholders like drivers who have got up to four-fold increase in their salaries.

Infrastructure development is a growing market in India, with an increase base of commercial vehicle like graders, excavators, DG sets and other heavy equipment for construction projects of all sizes. ARSS’s main business is in infrastructure development, and the company owns thousand plus units of heavy equipment.

With fuel prices rising in India, saving on fuel is a priority for ARSS, and the company decided to invest in an advanced fuel and fleet management solution to pinpoint inefficient fuel usage with Nigraani solution with 99.2 per cent accuracy.

Business challenge
ARSS’s wide scale operation with a geographically dispersed large fleet of vehicle and equipment presented a huge challenge in managing fuel tracking – exact volume filled, consumption during course of business and fuel pilferage at various stages. There were associated challenges like inability to plan and forecast fuel requirement, timing fuel procurement, fuel injection kit dysfunction upon fuel tank going empty and high turnover among drivers due to lower pay compared to market.

Nigraani’s solution
Looking for ways to optimise fuel consumption and eliminate manual fuel data entry errors, improve transparency in fleet management, prevent fuel underfilling and enhance their reputation as a progressive and efficient infrastructure company, ARSS looked for a technologically advanced, foolproof fuel-tracking solution.

Rajul Agarwal, Director at ARSS, explains, “With our previous provider we were overpaying for an antiquated technology and were way behind in ease of installation, functionality, and reporting options. It wasn’t long before we saw what fleet and diesel tracking could really do for us thanks to Nigraani. The ease of plug and play technology, custom reporting beyond “the norm”. With 350 plus units and another 200 in pipeline for installation in both Odisha and across India, we see no signs of slowing down.”

Nigraani’s successful fuel management solution was referred to ARSS by another leading company in the industry. Following an extensive series of trials, ARSS opted to use Nigraani's complete fuel and fleet management solution, consisting of best in class SaaS-based fuel management platform, vehicle trackers and Nigraani high-precision fuel-level sensors. The first phase of the project involved 350 units.

Business benefits
The precise tracking of fuel in real time with high precision of 99.2 per cent enabled ARSS to automatically track filling, prevent pilferage and improve their fuel planning. Profound differences between manually calculated fuel consumption data and the real time accurate data collected from Nigraani fuel-level sensors made the fuel management function easy from the comfort of their offices with complete certainty and precision. ARSS is experiencing significant benefits within months of installing Nigraani's fuel and fleet management solution:

Impressed with the results, ARSS has plans to install Nigraani equipment across the company's entire fleet.
