Dover Fueling Solutions and Bottomline Expand Global Partnership to Optimize Fuel Retailing

Expansion of Strategic Collaboration

In a significant development for the fuel retail sector, Dover Fueling Solutions (DFS) has announced an expanded global partnership with Bottomline Technologies. Established in 2023, this partnership has already transformed supply chain operations for fuel retailers across Europe by providing them with advanced economic efficiencies through Bottomline's innovative BX platform.

The BX platform is designed to optimize supply chain processes by allowing retailers to plan, monitor, and reconcile deliveries from depots to tanks. Using cutting-edge algorithms, this platform can detect operational issues in real-time, optimize delivery routes, and accurately forecast inventory needs. This comprehensive approach enables retailers to enhance their operational efficiencies and significantly reduce costs at every step of their supply chain journey.

Benefits of the BX Platform

One of the key advantages of the BX platform is its capability to integrate seamlessly with DFS’s existing solutions, including the ProGauge® Automatic Tank Gauge (ATG) systems. This combination allows businesses to achieve a high level of control over their inventory, which is crucial for limiting unnecessary losses and maximizing return on investment. The partnership thereby promises a robust wetstock management experience, ultimately leading to improved margins for fuel retail operations.

According to Jeroen Van Pelt, Sales Director at DFS, this partnership is a game-changer for retailers: "The advanced features of the BX platform mean that retailers are not simply managing their supply chains but are actively controlling and optimizing them for better profitability."

A Vision for Global Efficiency

With the extended alliance, DFS and Bottomline aim to leverage DFS's extensive global reach, which includes a wide network of regional sales teams and local distributors. By bringing the BX platform to fuel retailers worldwide, they endeavour to set new standards in supply chain optimization and operational excellence.

Léon van Rijswijk, CEO of Bottomline, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, “The robust global infrastructure of DFS makes this collaboration exciting. Together, we aim to reshape the future of fuel logistics and propel our clients to greater heights of efficiency and cost management."

Conclusion

The reformative implications of this extended partnership hold great promise for the future of the fuel retail industry. As fuel retailers look to navigate a highly competitive landscape, the collaboration between Dover Fueling Solutions and Bottomline equips them with the necessary tools to succeed.
