For Distell Wines and Spirits Nigeria, operational efficiency is everything. As a company with a nationwide distribution footprint, ensuring smooth logistics and consistent deliveries is critical. Yet, behind the scenes, fuel management had become a recurring pain point, until PetroApp stepped in with a smarter, faster, and more flexible solution.
The Challenge
Before adopting PetroApp, Distell relied on a fuel card solution that presented several obstacles.
According to Steven Eyanimo, Key Account Manager, two major issues stood out:
- Delayed wallet funding: It took 48 to 72 hours for payments to reflect, often causing unnecessary downtime and planning headaches.
- Limited fueling options: The previous system restricted the company to one fuel station, which sometimes faced product shortages, disrupting fleet operations.
These bottlenecks not only slowed operations but also impacted overall cost efficiency; a problem that required an agile, tech-driven fix.
The PetroApp Advantage
When Distell transitioned to PetroApp’s digital fuel management platform, the results were immediate and measurable.
With PetroApp, payments reflected almost instantly in their digital wallet, allowing the team to fuel and mobilize vehicles without delay. The platform’s wide network of partner fuel stations ensured product availability at all times, giving drivers flexibility and reducing downtime.
And the impact? Nothing short of remarkable.
The Results
In just three months, Distell Wines achieved tangible improvements in fuel efficiency and cost control:
- 17% savings on fuel budget between the first and second months of using PetroApp.
- A massive 44% savings between the second and third months; proof that smarter fuel tracking translates directly to stronger financial performance.
“With PetroApp, funding delays are gone, and our drivers can refuel anywhere within the network. The visibility and flexibility it provides have completely transformed our fuel management,”
