Overview

FleetPanda is a digital operations platform designed for modern fuel distributors and marketers. It replaces manual paperwork and spreadsheets with an automated dispatch system that manages orders, driver routing, and inventory tracking. The platform provides real-time visibility for dispatchers and an intuitive mobile app for drivers to streamline the end-to-end fuel delivery lifecycle, from order inception to back-office invoicing.

Founder story

After struggling to find software capable of managing their own rapidly growing fleet operations, the team developed an internal dispatch solution. Recognizing the industry-wide need for better logistics technology, they pivoted to become FleetPanda, providing the software as a service to other fuel marketers.
