1. A previous provider that no longer met operational standards

Dufetel Énergies initially used another remote tank monitoring system. However, as Alain Dufetel stated:

“We already had a service provider, but they didn’t meet our expectations.”

A reliable, stable, and accurate connected tank solution had become essential for their business.

2. Choosing a French partner to ensure quality and reliability

He insisted on the value of choosing a French technology partner:

“We decided to work with a French company, which is what we should have done from the start.”

A French partner means:

• closer collaboration,

• faster support,

• better understanding of local operational challenges,

• long-term reliability.

3. Connected tank monitoring is essential for AdBlue delivery logistics

Dufetel Énergies operates a strong AdBlue business, where precise tank gauging is crucial:

“Gauging our customers’ tanks is essential for organising delivery rounds.”

A connected tank solution supports:

• real-time visibility of tank levels,

• optimized routing,

• fewer emergency calls,

• lower logistics costs.

4. Deployment expanded to oil and fuel storage

After AdBlue, the company expanded Four Data’s connected tank solution to:

• heating oil tanks,

• diesel, GNR, and fuel tanks,

• storage used by regular customers.

They now monitor:

“a total fleet of around 200 gauges in operation.”

5. Migrating to Four Data due to inefficiencies of the previous system

A central point of the testimonial:

“We are switching to the Four Data system because the other system is inefficient and causes too many problems.”

This reinforces Four Data’s strengths in:

• stability,

• precision,

• long-term performance,

• reliability of the connected tank solution.

6. Four Data software accepts competing gauges during the transition

A strategic advantage highlighted by Dufetel Énergies:

“Your software will initially accommodate competing gauges.”

This allows:

• smooth migration,

• no service interruption,

• no replacement costs upfront,

• simplified operational transition.

7. A strong collaboration between technical teams

Dufetel Énergies also installs and maintains storage equipment themselves:

“We install and maintain storage equipment for petroleum products, AdBlue and lubricants.”

Their technical team collaborates directly with Four Data’s experts, ensuring:

• rapid deployment,

• reliable configuration,

• optimized monitoring,

• stable long-term performance.

Conclusion

The testimonial from Alain Dufetel highlights the essential role of a connected tank solution in modern energy logistics.
By choosing Four Data, Dufetel Énergies benefits from:

• improved delivery planning,

• reliable tank monitoring,

• better AdBlue and oil logistics,

• the replacement of an outdated provider,

• and a smooth transition thanks to multi-gauge compatibility.

Four Data’s connected tank solution supports Dufetel Énergies in delivering efficient, reliable, and customer-focused energy services.
