Dramatic Savings: 12 Location Agriculture Fuel Management System Case Study

December 17, 2021

The world’s largest Certified Sustainable Palm Oil producer had recently acquired almost 135,000 hectares of existing farmland, predominately situated in Papua New Guinea. Some of these plantations, which are dispersed over multiple remote locations, are hundreds of kilometres apart. The isolation of these farms, combined with the complexities of integrating such a significant company acquisition, made it challenging to analyse operating costs, productivity levels or identify improvement opportunities.

MTIS (an Authorised Banlaw Technology Partner) was engaged to implement process and technology solutions for enhanced visibility into Fluid Resource Management.

The project delivered dramatic annualised cost savings of PKG 4,148,200 from the first three locations alone (AUD 1,579,400). The project also boasted lightning-fast ROI, with the Fuel Management System paying for itself within 3 months of installation. Furthermore, the client gained enhanced visibility, powerful benchmarking tools, fleet optimisation capabilities and an improved productivity culture informed by reliable data.
