Understandably, it is exceptionally difficult to keep good records, especially during a war and particularly, when it is a coalition force where there may be contracts in place that some countries need to reimburse others if they receive fuel. If these records are unavailable, the reimbursements are lost, and countries end up losing money, having bought fuel that they cannot account for. Also, incidents of fraud— buying fuel on behalf of the government to sell it on the side is a major risk. Varec’s solutions encompass everything from tank gauges to POS-type solutions, hazardous area spec computers and tablets, automated fuel terminals and service stations for unmanned service of fleet fueling. “With our FuelsManager solution, we provide the ability for defense agencies to have all the data on where their fuel is, where it is moving, and the ability to capture that data using automation—all in one enterprise system delivering complete visibility,” states Varec’s CTO, Tim Archer.
Varec’s process starts with the receipt of fuel, through to storage management, and finally with the actual POS of issue. Using their 8130 Remote Terminal Unit (RTU), the system can interface to any tank gauge in the world, enabling them to tie into any terminal’s existing gauges and integrate with their software.

Varec manages fuel on behalf of NATO Support Agency (NSPA) in combat environments like Afghanistan. They required a system that provided exceptional “auditability,” and oversight, and selected Varec to provide a solution. NSPA had a contractual requirement, with a very fixed deadline, and Varec was able to setup an enterprise system and deploy their first base in less than six months.
In the future, Varec wants to bring full end-to-end fuel transaction capture solutions to U.S. federal agencies and foreign defense organizations, in a very cost-effective manner. With big data being a new trend, Varec has plans to expand the technology into their new solution, to bring all transaction and process control data from the site and sync the information for the enterprise’s visibility as well.
