Problem

An existing fuel card system that wasn’t cost effective or competitive and didn’t offer additional functionality.

Solution

BigChange Fuel offers stable pump prices, no monthly fee, automatic fraud protection, and round-the-clock legal protection.

Darryl Taylor, Operations Director, Plumbing & Gas Solutions commented;

“The savings achieved through the use of BigChange Fuel will be invested back into our team, supporting and upskilling our engineers and apprentices, ensuring we remain competitive.”

BigChange Fuel, offered in partnership with Right Fuel Card, offers users stable pump prices, directly linked to the wholesale price, with no monthly fees, and simple monthly billing options. Available for any fuel type; petrol, diesel, EV, or a mix, and covering 90% of the UK’s forecourts, BigChange Fuel also provides automatic protection from fraud and round-the-clock legal protection.

 

Darryl continued;

“Just by comparing price per litre for a single month’s usage, I calculated that we would pay around 38 pence per litre less with BigChange.”

Integrated with the BigChange cloud-based job management system, BigChange Fuel is easy to use. Allowing for better planning, tracking and reporting, giving better insight into vehicle usage, it also provides monitoring of driver behaviour patterns, and helps mitigate the environmental impact of a mobile operation.

“Looking at the cost effectiveness of our existing fuel card scheme had been on my radar for some time. However, it wasn’t until I attended a BigChange Customer Event, and heard how other companies were achieving savings, that I actioned a review.”
