How Airlines Can Master Fuel Ticket Management

Fuel tickets might not be the star of your operations, but they’re the unsung heroes that keep your airline's fuel management process moving smoothly. These small, yet essential documents are the foundation for precise invoice validation, real-time inventory management, and environmental SAF compliance.


But let’s face it—fuel ticket management is anything but straightforward. Paper tickets arrive late, incomplete, or not at all. Even electronic data can show up in formats so incompatible you’d think they were designed to confuse. These challenges create bottlenecks and inefficiencies that ripple through your operations.


At Atraxo, we’ve built the Ticket Workbench to help airlines tackle these issues head-on. Let’s start by exploring the key objectives airlines aim to achieve—and the obstacles that stand in their way.


What Airlines Need (and the Challenges in the Way)

1. Digitizing Data: Turning Data into Information

The Objective: Many refuelers at airports still provide paper tickets, making it difficult for airlines to automate workflows and maintain accurate records. The goal is to digitize these tickets efficiently as a prerequisite to digitalize fuel-related business processes. 


The Challenge: Paper tickets come with a host of headaches:

  • Lost or Delayed Tickets: A late ticket can derail critical workflows.
  • Unreadable Tickets: Smudged handwriting or damaged documents make digitization tricky.
  • Manual Entry Errors: Transferring data by hand is slow, error-prone, and costly.

2. Precise Invoice Validation

The Objective: Fuel tickets are crucial for ensuring suppliers are paid accurately. Airlines need to match ticket data with flight events and contracts to validate delivery quantities, pricing, and terms.


The Challenge:

  • Incomplete Data: Missing data like delivery details or flight information disrupt invoice validation.
  • Data Discrepancies: Mismatches between fuel tickets and flight events create disputes and delays.

3. Real-Time Inventory Management

The Objective: Fuel tickets aren’t just about payments—they’re also the backbone of accurate inventory tracking. Airlines rely on them to manage fuel inventories efficiently across locations.

The Challenge:

  • Inaccurate Records: Errors in ticket data can lead to overstocking or running out of fuel at critical times.
  • Disjointed Workflows: A single missing ticket can cause cascading issues in inventory management.

4. Sustainability and Environmental Reporting

The Objective: As sustainability takes center stage, airlines need precise data to track fuel consumption and SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel) usage for proper environmental reporting.


The Challenge:

  • Incomplete SAF Data: Missing details like blending ratios make reporting impossible.
  • Unstandardized Formats: Inconsistent data structures complicate compliance reporting.


​"Before implementing the Atraxo Ticket Workbench, managing fuel tickets was a constant headache. Missing data, paper tickets, and manual corrections slowed everything down. Now, our processes are streamlined, and we can focus on what really matters—running a reliable airline. Atraxo has truly revolutionized how we handle fuel tickets."
​

How Atraxo's Ticket Workbench Solves These Challenges

The Atraxo Ticket Workbench is designed to address these pain points through powerful features that automate processes, validate data, and integrate seamlessly with your systems. Here’s how we help airlines achieve their goals:

1. From Paper to Digital: Simplifying Data Capture

Paper tickets? No problem. Atraxo bridges the gap between analog and digital with tools that make manual data entry almost enjoyable (we said almost).

  • Empowering Station Managers and Suppliers: Enable local teams to capture ticket data directly in the system.
  • Default Values and Smart Tools: Simplify manual entry with pre-filled fields, automatic supplier assignment, and customizable workflows.

These tools not only digitize paper tickets but do so with a focus on accuracy and speed, minimizing errors and delays.

2. Data Transformation: Making Formats Work For You

Fuel tickets come in all shapes and sizes—CSV files, Excel sheets, or IATA XML. The Atraxo Aviation Hub ensures that no matter the format, data flows seamlessly between your systems and your partners.

  • Automated Format Conversion: Forget manual reformatting; we’ve got it covered.
  • Custom Field Mapping: Define how data should flow into your system for maximum flexibility.
  • Handling Incomplete Data: Tickets flagged as missing details are buffered and enriched later, ensuring no ticket gets left behind.

3. Data Validation: Catching Errors Before They Spread

Atraxo ensures every ticket is reviewed and corrected before it moves further in the workflow.

  • Technical Validation: Identify missing fields, duplicates, and format issues.
  • Business Validation: Verify ticket data against flight schedules, contracts, and base data such as aircraft tank capacities.

This guarantees that only high-quality, error-free data enters your operational systems.

4. Data Amendment: Enriching and Enhancing Your Tickets

Fuel ticket data often needs extra context to be useful. Atraxo enriches your data with:

  • SAF Blending Ratios: Add SAF blend ratio information received from your tank farm operator to your fuel tickets to enable proper environmental reporting.
  • Density and Temperature Details: Normalize fuel volumes for accurate inventory calculations.

With the Atraxo Aviation Hub, these enriched data sets are seamlessly shared with relevant stakeholders, ensuring alignment and accuracy across your entire fuel process.

Streamlining Fuel Ticket Management: Why It Matters

Fuel suppliers, we know you're busy. Between managing fuel deliveries, juggling customer demands, and navigating the paperwork jungle, it can be easy to feel like you're caught in a never-ending flood of fuel tickets. Manual data entry, paper tickets that disappear faster than your morning coffee, and systems that don’t talk to each other can all slow down your operations and bring your efficiency to a halt.
But fear not, the Atraxo Ticket Workbench is here to help! We’ve built a supercharged ticketing system that’s all about streamlining fuel ticket management, reducing errors, and getting fuel data where it needs to go—on time and with zero hassle. Ready to optimize your processes, save time, and keep your customers happy? Let’s dive in.

Key Challenges Facing Aviation Fuel Suppliers

Paper Tickets = Manual Data Entry = Manual Errors
We get it—no one likes typing in fuel ticket data by hand. It’s time-consuming, prone to mistakes, and let’s be honest, it’s pretty mind-numbing. When you’re juggling hundreds of tickets, mistakes are bound to happen—incorrect quantities, missing fields, or worse, duplicated entries. And we all know where that leads: late payments and unhappy customers. Yikes.

Incompatible Data Formats = Integration Nightmares
Your refuelers might send you fuel tickets in IATA XML, CSV, Excel, or even the dreaded paper. Trying to get these into your system without pulling your hair out can feel like solving a Rubik’s Cube blindfolded. And if your systems don’t play nice with these formats? Let’s just say you might be stuck with a whole lot of paperweight.

Incomplete Data = Invoicing Chaos
Missing data like SAF blend ratios or fuel density? That’s a recipe for incorrect invoices, inventory problems, and a whole lot of customer complaints. The last thing you want is an angry airline on the phone because their invoice was, well, “off.”

How The Atraxo Workbench Solves These Challenges

Fuel Ticket Data Capture—Simplified and Error-Free

  • Manual Ticket Capture: Whether you’re manually capturing a single fuel ticket or generating new ones using data from previous days, Atraxo's Ticket Workbench lets you do it all effortlessly.
  • Reissue Fuel Tickets: If mistakes happen, no worries—simply correct the fuel ticket and resend it as a reissued ticket, keeping your records straight and your back-office system up-to-date.
  • Automatic Field Management: You can customize the ticket attributes shown to users, hide unused fields, and even set default values, whether on a user level or system-wide, making the input process as easy as possible.

Data Enrichment—Make Your Data Work Smarter

  • SAF Blending Ratio & Flight Information: Automatically import SAF blending ratios, flight information, and even the flight type (domestic or international) to enrich your ticket data for accuracy and consistence.
  • Density and Temperature Import: Never again will you have to manually enter density and temperature data. The Ticket Workbench can pull this info from external sources (like your inventory system) and update the fuel tickets automatically.
  • Net Volume Calculation: By using the imported density and temperature information,  Atraxo's Ticket Workbench calculates the net (normalized) volume of fuel for each ticket, so you don’t have to worry about discrepancies in your data.
  • Buffering Incomplete Data: If a fuel ticket is missing crucial info (like density or temperature), the system buffers it and only sends it to the back-office system once all required data is available.

Seamless Import and Data Transformation

  • Flexible Import Formats: Whether it’s IATA XML, CSV, or Excel, the Ticket Workbench can import fuel tickets in any format you need. If you’re getting tickets via Atraxo's Aviation Hub Data Exchange (sFTP or REST API), the system integrates them with no fuss.
  • Automated Ticket Number Adjustments: Need to update fuel ticket numbers? Atraxo's Ticket Workbench can automatically concatenate the airline designator to the fuel ticket number, keeping everything organized and compliant.
  • Mark Reissued Tickets: When importing data from Excel files, the system identifies and marks reissued tickets based on the original ticket number, so you’re always working with the most current information.
  • Defuel Ticket Adjustments: If you’re dealing with defuel tickets, no worries—our Ticket Workbench changes positive values to negative, ensuring your data reflects the correct volume.

User-Friendly Workflow and Restrictions

  • Automatic Location & Fueler Assignment: Based on the departure location, the Ticket Workbench automatically assigns the correct fueler and supplier to each ticket.
  • Customizable Mandatory Fields: You can set restrictions on mandatory fields, making them mandatory only when the conditions are met—say goodbye to unnecessary data entry!
  • User Role Management: Using role-based access control, Atraxo's Ticket Workbench ensures that only the right users have access to the right fuel tickets and actions. External partners can be limited to seeing only tickets captured by their team members, ensuring tight data security and control.

Integration with Back-Office Systems

  • Seamless Transfer to Back-Office: Once fuel tickets are validated, enriched, and ready, the Ticket Workbench automatically sends them to your back-office systems using formats like IATA XML or custom CSV/Excel formats.
  • Automatic Transfers via API: Whenever fuel tickets are received via the Aviation Hub Data Exchange, they are automatically processed and sent to the back-office, ensuring that no time is wasted and no ticket is left behind.
  • Period Control: To maintain integrity, the system blocks users from sending or resending fuel tickets outside the allowed period, preventing any unauthorized changes that could affect your period closing.
