Fuel management for rail
Our clients
Every step of the fuel supply chain tracked, verified and reconciled
VERIDAPT is fast becoming the leading fuel management platform for the railroad industry.
VERIDAPT technology tracks fuel from purchases to burn across entire networks with superior reconciliation capabilities.
VERIDAPT verifies deliveries and dispenses of fuel delivered via pipeline, road tankers, rail cars or Direct-to-Locomotive in real time.
Leading railroad fuel management
VERIDAPT is the fuel management platform deployed by leading railroad operators CN, Norfolk Southern, Aurizon, Pacific National and others.
We monitor over 5 billion litres of fuel, including biofuels, and 20 million tonnes of emissions on a single platform, keeping 200,000 km of rail on track across Canada, United States and Australia.
Cut fuel costs
Maximise investment in refueling infrastructure, increase productivity and reduce downtime.
The unique VERIDAPT hardware & software fuel management platform provides invoice reconciliation capabilities that allows processing of all fuel purchases outside of ERP systems with seamless integration of clean data.
Data-driven analysis capabilities to minimize the need to refuel at high-cost locations.
The combined physical and invoice fuel reconciliation process is proven to cut fuel spend 2% - 10%.

Manage your fuel supply from procure-to-pay
Be confident you receive the exact amount of fuel you pay for …every time. This is achieved by automating the fuel payment process -- APIs enable integration with suppliers’ systems to automatically import Bills of Lading and generate Goods Receipts confirming deliveries in your ERP, ready for payment.
Manage your fuel supply from procure -to-pay
AdaptGO mobile device automates the procure-to-pay process with fuel suppliers.
All fuel transactions are recorded at the point of procurement and stored for data analysis. This eliminates volume discrepancies or overpayments, even in remote and unsupervised areas.
The VERIDAPT fuel management platform ensures fuel suppliers are paid on time and leads to seamless month-end book closings.
AdaptGO mobile device simplifies onboarding of new fuel suppliers and configures details of outline agreements, such as emergency call outs and waiting times.
For direct-to-locomotive fuelling, simply use our AdaptGO mobile device to….
-
Confirm deliveries
-

-
Record fueling events by capturing volume, locomotive number, supplier number, time/date, GPS coordinates
-
Photograph Bills of Ladings, locomotives, paperwork or flow meters to verify all data
-
Transfer supplier documentation to a single, independent application
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes rail industry fuel management different from mining?
Rail introduces additional delivery paths, including pipeline, road tanker, rail car and direct-to-locomotive fuelling, each of which needs its own verification point. Rail fuel management systems have to reconcile fuel across an entire network rather than a single site, which is why network-wide visibility matters more here than in mining.
How do rail fuel management systems track fuel from procurement to dispense?
The platform verifies each delivery against its Bill of Lading, then tracks the fuel through to locomotive dispense, closing the loop between what was ordered, what was delivered, and what was burned. That procure-to-pay visibility lets operators catch discrepancies before month-end book closing rather than after.
What fuel efficiency gains can rail operators realistically expect?
Combined physical and invoice reconciliation is proven to cut fuel spend by 2 to 10 percent, largely by minimising refuelling at high-cost locations and eliminating volume and administration discrepancies at the point of delivery. For a network burning billions of liters annually, that range represents a meaningful and fast payback.
How does the AdaptGO device support direct-to-locomotive refueling?
AdaptGO is a portable device that records each fueling event on site, capturing volume, locomotive number, supplier, GPS coordinates, and photographic evidence of the Bill of Lading. This digitizes what is normally a paper-based process and gives finance teams a verified record for every direct-to-loco transaction, even in remote areas.
Which rail operators currently rely on this fuel management technology?
The platform is deployed by major railroad operators including CN, Norfolk Southern, Aurizon, and Pacific National, monitoring several billion liters of fuel and tens of millions of tonnes of emissions across roughly 200,000 kilometers of track in North America and Australia.
