DGFUELS assisted Veritas Brands with a fuel storage solution. Veritas Brands, a prominent figure in the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector specialising in cold and processed meats, has recently accelerated its operations in Pyramid, Pretoria with a key infrastructure addition. Their presence in Pyramid commenced in mid-2022, and from here they have quickly moved to optimise their operations with innovative solutions.
Project Objective:
The strategic installation of bunded tanks was the primary goal to enhance operational efficiency by enabling the on-site storage of larger quantities of diesel. This move promises to significantly cut fuel costs by allowing Veritas Brands to refuel their delivery fleet on-site, thereby ensuring uninterrupted supply at a favourable price. This is particularly important in a landscape where fuel prices are perpetually climbing, impacting operational expenses.
Initial Challenges:
Before the implementation of the bunded tanks, Veritas Brands faced operational hurdles due to their high diesel consumption. The necessity for frequent bowser refills spiked delivery charges and also hampered operational efficiency. The regular refuelling demands posed significant restrictions on their capacity to run a smooth and cost-effective operation.
Solution Exploration:
With efficiency and cost-effectiveness at the forefront, Veritas Brands chose to integrate bunded tanks into their operational setup. Their collaboration with DGFUELS, a trusted partner renowned for quality fuel and consistent customer service, was pivotal. DGFUELS’ reputation for reliability, competitive pricing, and the provision of quality diesel made them the go-to provider for this critical operational enhancement.
Installation Process:
The process of installing the bunded tanks was seamlessly managed by DGFUELS, alleviating Veritas Brands from logistical burdens. DGFUELS facilitated the delivery and placement of the tanks on-site, with the tanks then integrated into the existing infrastructure by Veritas Brands. This streamlined approach ensured minimal disruption to the existing operations and set the stage for an immediate efficiency boost.
Key Benefits:
The integration of bunded tanks into Veritas Brands’ distribution centre has yielded multiple benefits:
- On-site refuelling at bulk rates has led to significant reductions in fuel expenditure.
- The minimised need for frequent refuelling trips has streamlined operations, reducing downtime and enhancing productivity.
- Bunded tanks provide an added layer of environmental protection against potential spills, aligning with sustainable operational practices.
- The ability to store more diesel on-site ensures that Veritas Brands can meet its refuelling needs without external dependencies, crucial for maintaining a steady delivery schedule.
Conclusion:
The strategic partnership with DGFUELS and the installation of bunded tanks stand as a testament to Veritas Brands’ commitment to operational excellence and cost efficiency. This forward-thinking approach addresses immediate challenges and positions Veritas Brands to better navigate future operational landscapes.
