How the System Works at Retailer Side?
The customer simply registers to the system with his credit/debit card or bank account for only once, and receives a contactless card. When a vehicle enters the station, and the customer presents the contactless card to the card reader. Information is transmitted to the i-Pay Fuel System, and fueling begins when a vehicle enters the station, and the customer presents the contactless card to the card reader. Information is transmitted to the i-Pay Fuel System, and fueling begins when the information of the customer is verified by the bank. After fueling is completed, the customer gets the receipt, and he can simply drive away.

i-Pay Fuel, FLEET
i-Pay Fuel for fleet is a cost effective and durable system requiring minimal maintenance. Data is collected automatically, wirelessly and effortlessly. Packaged in a waterproof enclosure, the Vehicle Identification Unit (VIU) is mounted in the vehicle, with an antenna mounted around the fuel inlet to allow a remote antenna in the building to access information stored on the VIU.

The nozzle ID unit is a wireless device that slips over the nozzle head, with a protective plastic nozzle cover. It contains the address of the nozzle and identifies the nozzle to the system. No adaptations are needed for the installation, there are no wires or swivels. This makes the system very robust and easy to install.

The system includes an extensive Route Management System, which enables the companies to offer following enhancements;

• The vehicles can be authorizated to use the stations predetermined by the supervisor of the system
• The number of fueling attempts and the amount of the fuel to be purchased can be limited on a time basis.
• The consumption per vehicle can be easily monitored by the central system. The system supports up to 6 shifts for the same vehicle. The stations as well as the fuel amount can be determined by the manager seperately for each shift.

How the System Works at Fleet Side?
The company simply registers to the system and receives Vehicle Identification Units for each member of the fleet. As the nozzle is inserted in the fuel tank, vehicle and payment information are captured. Upon the validation, the pump starts fueling ensuring that fuel is given to the right vehicle and with the right amount.
After fueling is finished, any information desired to be collected by the oil company, is transmitted to i-Pay Fuel, and the vehicle can simply drive away. There is no need to sign any paper as proof of transaction, but the driver may request a receipt at his option.
