It tells us how we\u2019re being greener, safer and how we get the job done more efficiently,\u201d says Michael Gillen, ERP Director at Fuel. He oversees a team of analysts and developers working to hone Fuel\u2019s efficiency by building predictive models, finding connectivity between its various discreet systems, and programming custom web-based technology for the company. \u201cWe\u2019re thinking outside the box of [what&#8217;s typical for] the transportation industry to integrate our communication tools, to build KPIs to help our people become the most efficient they can be,\u201d says Gillen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>You\u2019ll Be at the Forefront of Innovation <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>At the beginning of 2019, Fuel created Fuel Innovations, a hub for its tech employees to hypothesize, experiment, and invent new technology solutions. Some of the projects underway include the integration of warehouse systems with their transport management system (TMS) and the enhancement of the computers and telemetrics within trucks to evolve them to include coaching aids that help drivers perform more safely and efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"> <strong>You\u2019ll Become the Backbone of the Company<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCommunication is very important to the logistics industry,\u201d says Mehdi Gafsi, Director of IT Infrastructure. \u201cIt\u2019s 24\/7 service, [we service] multiple offices, so we need to have redundancies. Communication is a number one priority; all have to function at 100 percent with no downtime.\u201d To that end, Gafsi has spent the past three years in his role optimizing systems, virtualizing and digitizing wherever possible, creating disaster-preparedness protocols and investing in enterprise-level software to ensure the technology on offer is state-of-the-art and employees are always supported. \u201cWe\u2019re always looking for new technology, responding to the needs of each department and finding new solutions,\u201d says Gafsi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>You\u2019ll Get On-The-Job Training <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Gafsi, aspiring technology recruits\u2014analysts, developers, administrators, hardware support\u2014need not have special knowledge of the logistics industry. \u201cThey need to know operating systems, security and network systems, but we train internally. People can learn [logistics systems] as long as they have the foundation.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" Apply to technology roles at Fuel.
