What Should a Fuel Company Prepare Before Launching Its Ordering App?
Start with your logo, brand colors and preferred ordering options: those are the setup inputs Custom Fuel App asks your company to supply. 1
Can I check our name, logo and colors on customer screens before the app goes out under our brand?
Propose a brand-signoff review with the provider before requesting publication. Bring your approved company name, sample logo assets and brand color references. Ask to compare the demonstrated store listing and customer screens with those samples so you can flag differences before your company name goes into a launch.
- Which customer screens and store-listing details can we preview, and how will we compare the name, logo and colors with our approved samples?
- Who is our named dealer reviewer? Have that person record corrections and confirm our company's brand signoff before publication is requested.
- How will corrections and our approval be recorded, and which version will that approval cover?
This is a buying checklist. Ask what review is available; it does not promise an included staging system, a formal approval workflow, app-store account ownership, listing acceptance, a revision allowance or a launch date.
Make the order choices specific
The customer app offers fill-up, gallon, tank-reading and dollar-amount options, with your company enabling the choices it wants. 2 The dashboard lets your office add fuels and set prices, fees and taxes. 3
Suggested preparation: make one list of the fuels you want at launch and another of the order types you want customers to use. Have the person who answers ordering questions check both lists before the demo.
Bring the office decisions
Payment options can be customized per customer, and integrated credit card payment is supported. 4 The office portal provides incoming-order management, customer messages, status updates and reporting. 5
Our suggested checklist names an owner for reviewing orders and a backup. It also records who will answer messages and approve changes to the customer-facing wording. Use that checklist during the screen review.
Decide how you will introduce it
Custom Fuel App builds and publishes the app under your brand in both app stores. Its setup outline suggests telling customers about the app on invoices, trucks and your website. 6
Draft a short introduction in your company's voice. Ask a staff member to read it as a customer would, then follow the instructions. Save any questions for your launch review.
Before sending your own customer invitations, try a short office rehearsal. Have one office staff member follow the draft app introduction as a customer would. Ask another to walk through the existing browser ordering route for customers who prefer not to download an app. Walk through the screens without submitting a real order.
Have the named order reviewer explain who reviews each request, how the office confirms delivery with the customer, and how to call your office if either ordering route is confusing. Sending a request or seeing its status does not by itself confirm a delivery date. Write down confusing steps, revise the introduction and keep your office phone fallback in it before you send your own invitations.
Questions owners ask
Do we need to hire a developer before starting?
No. The product says it builds the app, submits it to the stores and handles updates. 7
What about customers who prefer a browser?
Custom Fuel App also offers website ordering for customers who do not want an app download. 8
What should we settle in the first demo?
Our recommendation: confirm your fuel list, ordering choices and office responsibilities. Ask to see one complete request using those choices, then write down what your team still needs answered.
Bring your logo, colors, fuel list and order choices. Request a demo and ask to see one complete order built from them.
