MUSCAT, MAY 22 -
Bringing pioneering smart technology to the Sultanate’s filling station subsector, Oman Oil Marketing Company (OOMC) introduced its new E-Fill service. Utilising radio-frequency identification (RFID) powered tags, E-Fill offers the commercial fleet market an advanced management tool that ensures 100 per cent security, prevents fuel theft and un-authorised access to supplies, in addition to real-time tracking.
E-Fill operates by establishing a direct link between a customers’ head office and the filling station office via non-transferable tags attached to vehicles and outfitted with RFID technology. Before fuelling, customers are required to specify and authorise their fuelling needs. Only after authorisation is given are radio signals sent to the pump to implement all customer requirements.
Musab bin Yousif al Shezawi, Senior Manager — Fuel Card at Oman Oil Marketing Company, said, “In today’s competitive economy, fleet managers constantly seek greater control over fuel supplies to improve overall fuel economy and to eliminate loss. For that reason, we are providing customers with a smart solution that is seamlessly delivering cost-effective control over unattended fuelling operation for increased security and accountability.”
To avail the service, customers are required to open a fleet account with Oman Oil Marketing Company. Accounts can be seamlessly managed online on the company’s website, where tags can be blocked or unlocked and real time information viewed. The E-Fill solution is now available for use at several fuelling stations with plans for expansion in the pipeline.
