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

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.

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.
