Fuel Management and Operational Solutions

LNS Technology delivers professional and technical fuel management expertise required to evaluate, assess, and integrate available automated management solutions. By analyzing customer requirements, our team is able to implement a system that achieves product visibility, inventory control, and accountability for the fuel supplier, user, and manager.

Based on operational requirements and the fuel manager’s business processes, we provide you  with the type of fuel management system that fits your operational and financial accountability specifications. This not only provides physical inventory accuracy through interfaces with existing tank gauging devices, but will also provide accurate financial inventory values based on accumulated transaction data. This multiple user visibility provides immediate insight to decision makers on product utilization or a product “buy” decision. It will also provide a more reliable basis for fuel budgeting by utilizing current and accurate consumption data.

LNS embodies energy management in a wide range of areas:

• Aviation
• Marine and industrial
• Ground and heating fuels
• Natural gas

Software Support

In the area of software support we bring experience, technical knowledge, and strong functional fuel specialists to implement systems as a part of joint integration teams. Our professionals work with various database platforms and operating systems to support client/server and enterprise system applications.

If you run a single facility, or manage multiple facilities as part of a government agency or commercial enterprise; we can help! We are able to apply our knowledge and experience within the fuel supply industry to select the most appropriate commercial products, and build them into fully scalable supply chain management solutions.

Material and Warehouse Management

LNS is an integrator of logistics support for petroleum, oil, lubricants (POL), consumable and repairable commodities. LNS has ushered agencies through the process of integrating their entire commodity management structure and supply support system with larger enterprise systems when cost effective, and maximizing internal systems when more appropriate. LNS has transitioned several agencies from their legacy processes of internal product sourcing, acquisition, material receipt, handling and storage to a larger more automated and integrated system. Within the Department of Defense (DoD), LNS has facilitated the integration of the material transaction processing and management through a joint system leveraging the capability of the corporate structure. This process has served to get maximum benefit from a more robust support structure with less investment in human capital, facility resources and the distribution and handling infrastructure.

LNS provides material and facility management assistance to customers including the full spectrum of operations and activities from ordering and receiving to distribution and movement to the end-user of materials. LNS efficiently performs both routine and non-routine incoming shipment activities including receiving and processing hazardous materials. Following a thorough material verification and quality inspection items are quickly processed to storage following a pre-established warehousing storage plan. Throughout the process, LNS analyzes transactions and data to determine and avoid any problem areas, and to determine feasibility of consolidating, eliminating or expanding interrelated supply systems. Prior to distribution, finished products are carefully prepared for shipment or storage by placing in shipping containers dependent upon specification. LNS completes the process by systematically securing cargo in or aboard cargo containers such as trucks, trailers, railroad cars, barges and ships to ensure damage prevention during transportation. LNS covers the broad range of material management from acquisition and handling through the storage process, to final consumption or end-use.
