How fast can our station network go live with our own card?

Typically in under 10 business days. We configure your cloud tenant, load your branding, and ship pre-configured plug-and-play Android POS terminals to your forecourts.

Do we need an existing IT team to manage this?

No. The platform is fully managed in the cloud with intuitive dashboards that non-technical station supervisors and forecourt managers can master in 30 minutes.

B2B commercial fleets deposit prepaid balances directly into your company bank account via bank transfer or Mobile Money (M-Pesa, Airtel).

Outcome: Generate massive interest-free operating cashflow before fuel is ever dispensed.

Offering manual credit on paper manifests to local companies leads to unpaid invoices and strained working capital.
