The situation

A network of over 500 fuel stations, 200+ convenience stores, and 3 warehouses and bulk depots generates a continuous stream of repairs, each involving a contractor, a price and a payment. At that scale, manual oversight cannot keep up: overbilling hides in volume, repair pricing drifts without competition, and contractor relationships strain under unpredictable payment cycles.

The outcome

  • Eliminated overbilling and improved contractor accountability
  • Best service rates achieved through high-volume, predictable work
  • 100% transparency in maintenance expenses
  • Stronger contractor collaboration through predictable processes

What was implemented

  • Network-wide work-order and contractor management
  • PM schedules planned for the whole year
  • Transparent, predictable contractor payment process
  • Automated RFQs with competitive bidding on repairs
  • Aggregate monthly billing on approved completed works
Why this matters

Proof of scale and proof of contractor control — the same problems any multi-site operation is solving today. When bidding is competitive and payment is predictable, contractors compete on quality rather than on invoice opacity.
