A leading Birmingham-based transport and warehousing company has credited Merridale’s fuel management system for its usability when reflecting on its transition to the new system.
Lions Logistics have been using Merridale’s equipment and software since upgrading their systems in October this year. Their existing tank was in good enough condition to continue to use but their pump left them unable to restrict who could use it or gather any data on stock or usage.
“In the short amount of time we have had the software, we have already noticed a difference. Fuel spend is better and we can identify high-usage areas and customers, this helps us to account for every litre of fuel purchased. The whole system is so simple to use, I’ve found it to be brilliant so far and there are features I’ve still not used.” Explained a Lions representative.

As part of the upgrade, which included a Merridale MX-I fuel pump with an integrated fuel management system and an MX-T tank management system. Lions also chose to use Merridale’s web-based software FuelWorks. With this, users can access data from any device connected to the internet and export reports as spreadsheets if required.
FuelWorks has become increasingly popular with Merridale’s current customers. Due to its ability to be accessed through a web browser on any device FuelWorks gives the user complete flexibility and accessibility, eliminating the need for the software to be installed on a limited number of nominated devices.
FuelWorks allows multiple users to report on and monitor their environmental impact, fuel usage, costs, and vehicle performance across multiple sites or tanks. It also has the capability to monitor tank levels and predict low stock, with email alerts being sent in such events.
“With the initial training and help of the support team you become familiar with Merridale’s FuelWorks software very quickly and it becomes simple to use. Support was the key, the help desk phoneline was a great help. Now FuelWorks is my first port of call in the morning, it is something I monitor every day.”
Since 2018, JPB have been using Merridale’s MX-I to refuel, monitor and keep track of their extensive fuel use and large fleet of vehicles, having previously used only receipts and hand-written accounts of transactions to stay up-to-date. Built to be the complete solution in commercial fuelling and designed to meet strict ATEX standards, the MX-I […]
Having an unusual problem of one of the locations being highly remote and without power meant that this job was slightly different to Merridale’s standard installations but none-the-less, they were able to find the solution quickly and provide a temporary self-sufficient system. Marcus, who leads operations for the internet provider said “We needed a temporary […]
With Merridale’s own range now available, as well as still supplying Gilbarco with fuel management units, the marketplace had the choice of buying either a complete Merridale built package or a Gilbarco built version of the same management system. However, over the decades that followed, Merridale enhanced its product range by introducing true twin units, […]
