Tap ‘n Fuel: The Re-imagined Solution To Managing Your Fleet Fuel Payment
At a time when our society is just recovering from scars created by the global COVID-19 pandemic, the global business world is thrown into the chaos of fuel price hike due to the conflict in Europe.
South Africa is not an exception. As at the time of this publication, fuel price went up by 1.31% on Petrol Unleaded 93, 1.67% on Petrol Unleaded 95, and 7.85% on Diesel 500ppm. These increases exclude what you spend on your overheads and more, so how do you stay profitable as a small and medium business owner?
Running a business on a day to day basis is enough a headache, worrying about your fuel spend shouldn’t be one of them, in fact you shouldn’t have to worry about how the money budgeted for fuel is spent.
