In an industry that’s constantly changing, getting a handle on fuel costs could make a big difference on your bottom line.
Manufacturing is about precision, efficiency, and steady operations. While fuel might not be your core production input, it powers the site vehicles and transport that keeps everything moving. If you don’t control fuel spend, it can quietly erode your margins and weigh down your admin.
Here’s how Allstar helps manufacturers take command of fuel and free up more bandwidth within their businesses for production, quality, and growth, as well as help to keep fuel costs down.
One card. One view. Total control.
Depending on the mix of your vehicles, they may use petrol, diesel, hydrogen or electric power now or in the future. An Allstar payment card brings all fuel transactions, no matter the vehicle or fuel type, into a single, unified platform, Allstar Online. No multiple systems, no piles of receipts. You see fuel usage, by vehicle and location, in real time.
Cut admin. Accelerate accounting.
Stop chasing receipts and reconciling dozens of claims. Allstar aggregates every transaction into one HMRC-compliant monthly invoice so your accounting team can spend less time on fuel paperwork and more time supporting operations and growth.
Protect your margins with smarter controls
Every extra litre that isn’t tracked is a hidden cost. With spend limits put in place, you could get unique, valuable insights into company data and driver behaviour, and monitor your fuel spend at a time and place that suits you. Each of these elements helps you to prevent unauthorised refuelling within your business.
Wide network. Better pricing.
When your manufacturing footprint spreads across regions, you need reliable refuelling options. Allstar gives access to the largest fuel network in the UK, offering competitive pricing and consistent coverage. No more detours into overpriced forecourts that chip away at your margin.
Your drivers could save up to 8p off every litre* across our exclusive Discount Diesel network and access major low-cost supermarket sites too.
VAT reclaim made easier
Claiming back fuel VAT demands clarity and precision. With Allstar, every fuel transaction is logged and consolidated into one HMRC-compliant invoice, supporting accurate VAT reclaim and reducing accounting errors or audit risk.
Simplicity for your on-site and fleet teams
Your staff can refuel without worrying about upfront payments or logging receipts. They swipe the card, refuel, and move on. Simple, fast, efficient. It removes friction from day-to-day operations so your teams can focus on output, whist still contributing to the business’ savings.
Preparing for the next phase: fuel and electric vehicle charging
Many manufacturers are embracing electrified fleets alongside traditional vehicles. Allstar Chargepass extends the same principles of control and simplicity so you can manage fuel and electric charging under one system. One card, one invoice, one clear view of cost across your mixed fleet.
Thousands of manufacturers trust Allstar to keep their operations fuelled and their processes clean. Let us take care of the fuel so you can focus on what you do best: making, delivering, innovating.
