Every litre accounted for.
FuelSmart connects fuel dispensers to an IoT platform that identifies vehicles, enforces quotas and records each transaction, giving station operators full control over fuel distribution.
The problem
Fuel leaks away through manual processes.
Manual fuel distribution makes quota management, record keeping and loss prevention difficult. Errors and misuse waste a valuable, finite resource.

How it works
How it works
A clear path from data to decision.
Identify
The vehicle or user is identified at the pump.
Authorise
The system checks the allocated quota in real time.
Dispense
Fuel is dispensed up to the approved amount.
Record
Every transaction is logged for reporting and audit.
Product
What makes it different.
Every feature is grounded in the founding research.
Quota management
Enforce allocations per vehicle, fleet or customer.
IoT connected
Pumps report to a central platform.
Full audit trail
Every litre recorded automatically.
Loss prevention
Reduce misuse, errors and waste.
