subject: Business Benefits Of Delivered Fuels [print this page] Many fuel suppliers all over the world offer businesses the chance to sign up for a fuel delivery system. While at first glance, this type of service might seem to be a waste of money, it can actually be extremely beneficial to companies all over the world.
The following are some of the many benefits companies and businesses can receive by signing up for delivered fuel.
The first benefit businesses and companies can receive from signing up for a delivered fuel service is the reduced cost of labor. A company or business that needs to refuel their heating oil or propane tank will have to pay an employee to do this job. This adds to the company's labor costs, and decreases productivity.
A delivered fuel service will provide the necessary heating oil or propane a company needs to operate its heating system. The delivered fuel service will do this for a flat rate, which is usually lower than the labor costs of hiring an employee to purchase the fuel.
The second benefit businesses and companies can receive from signing up for a delivered fuel service is a lower cost of fuel. Many delivered fuel services offer businesses a 'bulk rate' for signing a contract. This bulk rate is often lower than the retail price of just purchasing the heating oil or propane separately.
The third benefit businesses and companies can receive from signing up for a delivered fuel service is having a regular inspection of the oil or lubricant storage tanks. Many companies purchase large amount of heating oil or propane. If these items are improperly stored it could lead to thousands of dollars of wasted fuel or lubricant.
Many delivered fuel service companies will conduct an on-site visual inspection of the storage tanks that the company uses. This means that there will not be any accidents caused by improper storage of the oil or propane, or lost money due to the fuel becoming contaminated.
In some cases, if the delivered fuel service notices any problems with the storage tank it will replace it right on the spot. There is usually a very minimal charge for this service, but it can save a company thousands of dollars.
Signing up for a delivered fuel service may not seem like a good use of company money, but it can be. The services provided by this type of fuel provider can be invaluable and help a business save money on heating and fuel costs.
