Keeping a coworking space operational requires a lot behind the scenes, and a crucial element is a reliable fuel supply. Awfis, The Largest Network of Flex Workspaces in India, faced several challenges in managing their fuel procurement. This article explores how FuelBuddy stepped in and transformed Awfis’s fuel management process, ensuring smooth operations and significant benefits.

Challenges Faced by Awfis

Awfis previously dealt with several issues related to fuel procurement, impacting their business continuity and operational efficiency. Here’s a closer look at the challenges they faced:

• Unreliable Fuel Supply: Frequent fuel shortages and inconsistent fuel quality disrupted operations and posed a potential risk to generator performance.
• Operational Disruptions: Lack of fuel could lead to downtime, impacting productivity and customer experience. Additionally, managing fuel shortages resulted in increased operational costs.
• Inefficient Billing: Manual billing processes were time-consuming and prone to errors. Additionally, the lack of a centralised optimisation system made it difficult to track fuel expenses effectively.
• Emergency Fuel Needs: Power outages during office hours and petrol pump closures created situations where obtaining fuel became critical. Awfis lacked a solution to address these emergencies.
