How Pepsi Stopped Losing Thousands of Dollars in Fuel Costs
The story of Pepsi fuel monitoring: Fuel is one of the largest expenses in any fleet operation. For global brands like Pepsi, managing hundreds of delivery trucks across different routes means every drop of fuel counts. Despite strict driving behavior policies and regular training, unexplained fuel losses continued to drain profits — until IoT stepped in.
The Challenge: Hidden Fuel Theft
Pepsi’s logistics team noticed irregular fuel consumption patterns that didn’t align with mileage or delivery schedules. Even after reviewing driver logs and routes, the losses persisted.
Fuel theft — often small and hard to detect — was silently cutting into the company’s margins. Pepsi needed a fuel monitoring solution that could reveal where, when, and how these losses occurred.
The Solution: Smart Fuel Monitoring with GPS Tracking
Together with our local partner, Pepsi deployed TOPFLYtech’s GPS tracking and fuel monitoring solution across their truck fleet.
Each vehicle was equipped with a hardwired tracker integrated with fuel sensors capable of detecting real-time changes in tank levels.
When sudden drops in fuel volume were detected — especially when the vehicle was idle or parked — alerts were automatically sent to the fleet management platform.
The results were immediate: the system helped identify ongoing fuel theft incidents and deter future misconduct through transparent, data-driven oversight.
The Impact: Saving Fuel, Securing Assets
After implementing the solution, Pepsi:
- Eliminated fuel theft losses across multiple routes
- Reduced overall fuel expenses by tens of thousands of dollars annually
- Improved driver accountability with transparent fuel data
- Enhanced operational security through 24/7 fleet visibility
What started as a cost-control initiative turned into a comprehensive fleet protection system, empowering Pepsi’s logistics managers with reliable, real-time insights.
Why It Works
TOPFLYtech’s tracking devices combine precise GPS positioning with advanced sensor integration, making them ideal for fleet management and fuel security.
Whether for logistics companies, fuel distributors, or large enterprises, our solutions help detect anomalies, prevent losses, and improve efficiency — one truck at a time.
