Fuel theft doesn't show up on your fuel card statement. It shows up in your margin.

Symtech allows you to check every fuel purchase against where your vehicle actually was, how far it's travelled, and how much it can physically hold.

THE LEAK YOU CAN'T SEE

$25,000 a year

That's a 5% fuel-card leak on a $500,000 fuel bill.
It never shows up as theft.
It just looks like fuel getting more expensive.

Fuel is 30–40% of running costs
On margins as thin as 3–5%
THE PROBLEM

Most fleet operators don't find out.
They just quietly pay more.

Fuel is one of the largest costs in running a fleet, and it's the easiest one to skim.
A few litres into a jerry can.
A mate's car filled on the company card.
A purchase logged 40km from where the truck was parked.

None of it looks like theft on a monthly statement. It looks like fuel costs creeping up.

Fuel theft is often committed by trusted staff.

"I've earned it"
"It will just be this once"
"It is just a drop in the bucket"

HOW IT WORKS
1.

We know where your vehicle was

GPS tracking logs every trip, every stop, every kilometre travelled.

2.

Fuel transactions delivered to the system

Fuel purchase data is logged on your statement - litres, location, time, cost, and delivered to our system for analysis.

3.

Match the two

If a purchase happened somewhere the vehicle wasn't, put more litres in than the tank holds, or doesn't match the distance covered – you’ve got data to prove something’s off.

Catches what a statement can't

Your fuel card tells you money was spent. It doesn't
tell you whether the fuel went into your vehicle, or into another vehicle.

Talk to someone who understands

No call centre, no support desk. You get a person who understands fleets and can tell you straight whether this is worth your time.

Works alongside the rest of your fleet data

Fuel monitoring sits inside the same system as tracking, pre-start checks, RUC and FBT reporting. One platform, not four subscriptions.

Something to show, not just a suspicion

When something doesn't add up, you get the detail: which vehicle, which transaction, what didn't match. That turns an awkward hunch into a conversation you can actually have.

WHAT WE SEE IN THE DATA
"Most of the time the owner isn't looking for theft. They just know their fuel bill doesn't feel right."
Aaron Wilson, founder - Symtech
A REAL CASE

The engine was running. The ute never moved.

A crew leader put 60 litres - a full tank - into his own vehicle on the company card, leaving his work ute idling so it looked in use. When the fuel stop didn't match the ute's location, he blamed a faulty GPS. The motion data proved otherwise: the work ute never went near the station.

It never showed up as theft. It just looked like the fuel bill creeping up.
