Many fuel card systems require an odometer to be entered with each transaction.
![Page 11: Get it right: 5 ways to improve meter accuracy](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042610/58a409771a28ab7d758b4d91/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Many fuel card systems require an odometer to be entered with each transaction.
• Those odometer updates can be imported automatically into most fleet management systems.
![Page 12: Get it right: 5 ways to improve meter accuracy](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042610/58a409771a28ab7d758b4d91/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Many fuel card systems require an odometer to be entered with each transaction.
• It helps provide more frequent odometer updates.
![Page 13: Get it right: 5 ways to improve meter accuracy](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042610/58a409771a28ab7d758b4d91/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Many fuel card systems require an odometer to be entered with each transaction.
• But, due to the manual number entry at the pump, it's prone to some errors as a result.
![Page 14: Get it right: 5 ways to improve meter accuracy](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042610/58a409771a28ab7d758b4d91/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Using fuel card entries to keep your meters up-to-date is the
next best thing if you don't have GPS data from a direct connection
to the onboard computer.

3. Require live meter updates during inspections
![Page 16: Get it right: 5 ways to improve meter accuracy](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042610/58a409771a28ab7d758b4d91/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Fleet management software that lets you enter mileage
during routine inspections, in real-time, will help improve
the accuracy of meters.
