Commercial heating and plumbing contractor Plumbing & Gas Solutions, is set to save hundreds of pounds a week using BigChange Fuel.
Having switched to BigChange, Plumbing & Gas Solutions is now securing lower pence per litre prices every time it fills up its fleet of vehicles. Averaging more than 1,500 litres of fuel consumed each month will save the Milton Keynes-based operation in the region of £7,000 a year.
“Looking at the cost effectiveness of our existing fuel card scheme had been on my radar for some time,” commented Darryl Taylor, Operations Director at Plumbing & Gas Solutions. “However, it wasn’t until I attended a BigChange Customer Event, and heard how other companies were achieving savings, that I actioned a review.
“Just by comparing price per litre between the two offerings for a single month’s usage, I calculated that we would pay around 38 pence per litre less with BigChange,” he continued. “When you multiply that by the number of vehicles we have, and the miles we travel, that is a massive saving for us.
“These savings will be invested back into our team, supporting and upskilling our engineers and apprentices, ensuring we remain competitive.”
BigChange Fuel, offered in partnership with Right Fuel Card, offers users stable pump prices, directly linked to the wholesale price, with no monthly fees, and simple monthly billing options. Available for any fuel type; petrol, diesel, EV, or a mix, and covering 90% of the UK’s forecourts, BigChange Fuel also provides automatic protection from fraud and round-the-clock legal protection.
Integrated with the BigChange cloud-based job management system, which incorporates a mobile workforce app, customer relationship management (CRM), job scheduling, live tracking, financial management, and business intelligence tools in one platform, BigChange Fuel is easy to use. Allowing for better planning, tracking and reporting, giving better insight into vehicle usage, it also provides monitoring of driver behaviour patterns, and helps mitigate the environmental impact of a mobile operation.
