The problem they arrived with
Al-Ghanim runs sixty-two tippers between the quarries south of Al Wakrah and construction sites across Doha. The monthly fuel bill was running eight to twelve per cent above what the routes and the tonnage justified, and the fuel-card statement and the drivers’ fill-up logs disagreed every month. Nobody could say which vehicles the difference went into.
What was installed
- Fuel Guard on all sixty-two vehicles: calibrated level sensors, installed over eleven working days at their depot.
- Fleet Control for the dispatch office, with three branch scopes.
- Sudden-loss thresholds set per vehicle class after two weeks of baseline.
What happened
In the first fortnight the platform flagged fourteen sudden-loss events, eleven of them at the same lay-by on the Al Wakrah road between midnight and two in the morning. The operations desk called the dispatcher on the third night. The lay-by stopped appearing in the log in the fourth week.
11% reduction in the monthly fuel bill, quarter on quarter
Refuel matching also found that nine vehicles were being filled to a lower level than the card statement claimed. That was a conversation with the fuel supplier rather than with a driver, and it was settled with the platform’s refuel log as the evidence.
0 unexplained variance between card statement and refuel log, month three
We had assumed the loss was spread across the fleet. It was one lay-by and one supplier.

What they use now
Fuel Guard, Fleet Control and Fleet Care on the whole fleet. The monthly fuel-card reconciliation takes an hour instead of a week.
