Gross profit is the difference between your total fuel sales minus the cost of fuel sold (based on a First In First Out blended cost methodology). All profits exclude VAT.


Net profit is gross profit minus the charges incurred by fuel cards. During the implementation process, Edge will map your fuel card rates. Each time we see a fuel card being used, we will apply the most recent fuel card rates. Please be sure to let us know should any of your fuel card rates change.


Business profit is net profit with bunkering commission added (business profit is only relevant if your site does bunkering). Please let Edge know should your bunker commission rates change.

Profits can be seen in real-time (so far today), month-to-date and over a specific time period using performance reporting.

The profit percentage indicators are always comparing to this same time, same day last week. This gives you quick visibility on how you are tracking and whether you need to dig deeper and take action!
