FPCS: Fleet Payments Control Solution - Strategic Investment Overview

The Current Landscape & Strategic Imperative

KSA businesses face significant hurdles in fuel management, leading to uncaptured costs and operational inefficiencies. This isn't just an operational issue; it's a strategic imperative to invest in better control and data integrity.

Challenges with Existing Fuel Cards

(e.g., Alaan, Darb)

⚠️ Lack granular data capture at the pump (exact liters, vehicle image verification).
⚠️ High fraud vulnerability due to data inconsistencies.
⚠️ Rarely facilitate real-time, transaction-specific approval workflows.

Limitations of Traditional FMS

(e.g., Zain, Eagle-IoT)

⚠️ Often operate in silos from the actual payment process.
⚠️ Disconnection between fuel usage data and financial transactions.
⚠️ Hinders true real-time reconciliation and proactive fraud prevention.

This fragmented landscape results in unoptimized fuel spend and significant administrative overheads.
