Increasing market volatility and the continually weak economy have marketers actively seeking new ways to fuel their efficiencies and profitability. These goals can be achieved by streamlining and automating transactions, as well as speeding up billing processes. One way to do both is through electronic bills of lading (eBOLs). The availability of eBOL data has more than tripled over the past few years, and it is often accessible within minutes of a load being loaded at the terminal. Due to this, more and more fuel marketers are requesting back office software providers to support eBOL integration. However, one of the biggest problems marketers have is getting those eBOLs — which come from a variety of sources, in different formats with different supplier, terminal, product, and carrier codes — into their back office systems in the required format.

The availability of eBOL data has more than tripled over the past few years, and

However, one of the biggest problems marketers have is getting those eBOLs —
which come from a variety of sources, in different formats with different supplier,
terminal, product, and carrier codes — into their back office systems in the
required format.
Introducing DTN Fuel Admin
To meet demand and to help fuel marketers improve transactions, speed billing,
and protect profits, Schneider Electric created DTN Fuel Admin. It provides a
unique dashboard view for managing all supplier mapping codes, quickly and
easily — even as seasonal product changes hit the market and new suppliers
come on board.
How it works
DTN Fuel Admin solves the problem by formatting and cross referencing bills
of lading (BOLs) that can be exported into the user’s back office without further
translation. It does so by creating coding consistency for BOLs from a variety
of sources and in different formats — including supplier, terminal, product, and
carrier codes.
DTN Fuel Admin gathers BOLs from Schneider Electric’s BOL repository, and
delivers the fastest available BOL. The BOL is cross referenced to match back
office codes. It leverages the user’s cross reference setup for price exports to
jump start back office integration and to speed implementation. DTN Fuel Admin
then serves the fastest BOL, while eliminating duplicates. It also provides users
with an electronic, easy-to-read smart text BOL.

3. Fueling profitability
DTN Fuel Admin will enable most marketers to save thousands of dollars in upfront costs, and substantially reduce the ongoing maintenance of mapping data.
With it, marketers can benefit from…
• The fastest electronic BOLs — without duplicates
• An easy-to-read smart text version of each DTN Fuel Admin BOL — including
original, standard Schneider Electric, and customer cross-referenced codes
• The ability to custom cross reference codes and build specific exceptionsbased business rules
How do I start?
Schneider Electric can run simple analysis reports that let you know where BOLs
could be available for you — often with 100 percent coverage. The company
provides you with an initial report, then you verify the suggested supplier/terminal
combinations (based on where you receive prices). You simply confirm, add or
delete combinations; then Schneider Electric delivers a complete analysis of your
BOL availability.
Why Schneider Electric?
As the leading provider of lifting authorizations at the terminal and the primary
source of BOL interchange between suppliers, exchange partners, and terminals,
Schneider Electric is the industry’s broadest source of BOLs, and a significant
amount of them are close to real time.
And as the industry expert in standardizing pricing information, more fuel
professionals rely on Schneider Electric to cross reference export prices into their
back offices than any other provider. The company leverages the same expertise
to standardize BOL data across the industry. This enables customers to quickly
leverage their initial price cross references to further ensure that their prices
match their BOL data — protecting their profitability.
