What is manual fuel-ticket error costing you?

Most carriers leak revenue through duplicate tickets, volume mismatches, and ghost flights — and never see it. Move the sliders to size the exposure, then read the playbook for closing it.

Every uplift that goes unvalidated is a discrepancy you're probably paying for. The estimator models annual leakage from your ticket volume, average uplift, and discrepancy rate — the same exposure FuelCounter™ catches across its five validation gates. Start with these three reads:

Estimated annual leakage at risk

How this is calculated: annual gallons (tickets × 12 × gal/ticket) × your discrepancy rate × exposure per gallon, where exposure = Jet A price × 7%. The 7% is the share of an erroneous gallon's value typically recoverable — overbilled volume, price mismatches and missed duty/tax — not the full fuel cost. The Jet A band ($1.00–$4.50/gal) spans the 2015–2025 spot market, so leakage scales with fuel price.

Real-time fuel inventory management that works

Capturing fueling as it happens — not 30–45 days later on a paper ticket — turns inventory from a retrospective report into a live operational and financial control.

The $3M mistake: hidden costs of manual fuel-ticket processing

Paper ticketing looks harmless. At a 5–8% error rate across millions of gallons, it quietly conceals seven- and eight-figure exposure — and weeks of lag.
