With 20 vehicles, forklifts and machinery to keep moving, Primepac was losing productive time every time someone had to refuel. For a busy Auckland operation, those trips added up.
Primepac manufactures and distributes industrial supplies and packaging, with a fleet of 20 vehicles alongside forklifts and other machinery requiring regular fuel. The team wanted to reduce the time being lost to offsite refuelling and gain greater visibility over how fuel was being used. Fuelchief Tanks worked with Primepac to find an onsite solution that would fit within the limited space of their Auckland yard.
A 2,500-litre Fuelchief DC25 provided the onsite capacity Primepac needed while only taking up the space of approximately one car park. The tank was paired with the Sapphire Fuel Management System, giving the team greater visibility and control over fuel use.
“We’re saving up to $20,000 a year on fuel, and not to mention we have saved 83 hours a year from sitting at a fuel station.” Bailey Smith, Operations Manager
Bringing fuel onsite changed more than where Primepac filled its vehicles. Drivers no longer needed to leave the operation simply to refuel. That meant less time lost at fuel stations and more time available for deliveries and the work that keeps the business moving forward.
“As you know, time is money so big savings there…We’ve also doubled our efficiency with our delivery vans”
For Primepac, the result was measurable:
