DECEMBER 2015 / JANUARY 2016 AviationPros.com 15 FUEL SUPPLY to suppliers, analyzing and interpreting fgures, and coming up with new ideas. I compare it to the new self-driving cars that are being developed. We want to create the frst completely self-driving aviation fuel management system." Their new software for fuel suppliers and resellers, supplier.ONE, which was launched in June, is not quite that yet, says Klaus-Pe- ter, but he certainly believes it's moving the industry forward and removing many of the common issues highlighted by their research. "There were no products on the market that had been specifcally designed for the supply side, only large standardized ERP systems or tools designed for other industries, such as road transport. None of these quite met the needs of the avia- tion fuel supply industry, so we decided to create our own tool." He continues: "Thanks to the effort we've put into researching this segment of the fuel market, we're confdent supplier.ONE will bring many benefts to fuel suppliers and resellers. For example, users will be able to easily create and main- tain a single pricing database for quotes and contracts, which is automatically updated with the latest energy prices and exchange rates. That removes some of their biggest headaches straight away." David Dykes from Gulf Aviation is equally hopeful: "Before now, there wasn't a user-friendly and tailor-made system which could provide a database covering all the key requirements for a supplier: pricing, tender- ing, credit control, stock management and sales and invoicing. FuelPlus' new suppli- er.ONE product looks as if it could be the answer to these problems. We're very inter- ested in fnding out more about it." Are you a fuel supplier or reseller?
