"FUELBUDDY IS TRANSITIONING FROM BEING A FUEL-AS-A-SERVICE COMPANY TO AN ENERGY-AS-A-SERVICE COMPANY"

From schools and hospitals to fleets and cars, all of these require diesel supply. How does FuelBuddy tailor its services to meet the unique needs and demands of varied sectors?

Each sector has unique requirements, and at FuelBuddy, we understand that. To cater to diverse needs, we offer a range of solutions, from 24/7 generator refuelling to convenient Buddy Cans. With FuelBuddy, consumers enjoy the ease and flexibility of ordering fuel right to their doorstep or job site, eliminating the need to travel to the nearest petrol pump.

We prioritise safety by addressing common concerns, such as pilferage, adulteration, and leakage, through advanced IoT technologies. Our approach is centered around cutting-edge technology, providing customers with intelligent and efficient fuel management solutions tailored to their sectors and requirements.

For instance, commercial and residential complexes rely on power generators for uninterrupted electricity supply. Traditionally, users would have to transport jerry cans or barrels to procure diesel from nearby fuel stations, which can be unsafe. FuelBuddy revolutionises this process by allowing users to order diesel anytime and from anywhere, ensuring a hassle-free and secure experience.

With FuelBuddy, we aim to empower customers to focus on their core operations while leaving their fuel requirements in our capable hands. Our goal is to provide intelligent, reliable, and safe fuel solutions that enhance productivity and peace of mind across various industries.
