Follow up on fuel differences

Software for mining contractors in Ghana
Back up every hour you bill.
When the mine's hour count is lower than yours, the difference comes out of your payment. Keep the shift records ready to check what happened.
Darikoda keeps machine hours, fuel and operator records together, so you can check the figures before agreeing the invoice. Captured at source.

Before the invoice is agreed
Have the work behind the number ready.
When a client questions a shift, start with the machine, the operator and the hours recorded. Bring the fuel entries into the same conversation when a fuel charge is disputed.
- Machine hours: check the period and operator behind the entry.
- Fuel supplied: compare the recorded quantity with the mine's charge.
- Reported faults: explain when a machine was unavailable and what work it needed.
Protect what the next shift earns too.

Questions from mining contractors
Is this for contractors working on someone else's mine?
Yes. This page is for businesses supplying machines and crews to a mining client, with work billed by the hour, tonne or task. Darikoda helps you keep the machine activity, fuel and completed-work records behind that bill.
How does it help when the mine disputes our hours?
Review your recorded machine hours, operator and shift for the period being queried. Having those details together makes it easier to explain the work and investigate a difference before agreeing the invoice.
The mine supplies our fuel. Can we check its charges?
Record the fuel received against the machine, operator and time, then compare the quantities with the mine's figures. When the numbers differ, you have specific entries to discuss rather than only a monthly total.
More on fuel recordsCan we follow repairs and machines waiting for service?
Yes. Managers can review machine status, reported faults, service needs and outstanding work orders. That helps you decide what needs attention to get the machine back to work.
Do we need to replace our trackers or accounting software?
You can keep both. Darikoda adds the daily work records that explain the figures: machine hours, fuel supplied, operators and reported faults.
