In the rapidly evolving logistics sector, Girteka is once again at the forefront of digital innovation by implementing a new, secure digital refuelling solution across its entire fleet. This solution addresses the significant challenges faced by drivers, such as navigating tight schedules and managing the security risks associated with traditional fuel cards. By eliminating the need for physical cards, this advancement streamlines the refuelling process and enhances overall operational security.

Focus on Digitalization with a Customer-Centric Approach

Girteka’s commitment to digitalization is rooted in a customer-centric approach that ensures reliable and uninterrupted operations. The integration of advanced technologies improves the efficiency of logistics and the daily work experience for drivers. These digital tools are designed to make routine tasks easier and more secure, while drivers can focus on delivering exceptional service to our customers.

Introducing a Simple and Easy-to-Use Refuelling Process

The newly introduced digital refuelling system is based on the Fleethand solution. It covers the entire fleet of more than 6000 trucks delivering goods every day. How does it look in practice? Upon arriving at a partner gas station, previously marked within route planning, such as Circle K or Shell, drivers can simply enter the pump number into their Fleethand mobile application, and the refuelling process begins automatically. There is no need for confirmation, codes, PINs, or odometers. Only company’s mobile with Fleethand app. Thanks to this innovation the risk associated with physical fuel cards is reduced. Drivers can now spend less time on administrative tasks and focus on quickly and in proper conditions delivering cargo.

“At Girteka, we have always prioritized improving our drivers’ working conditions, and with the latest digital advancements, we can now take even more significant strides in this direction. This new refuelling solution is a step towards providing a safer, more comfortable way for our drivers to complete their daily tasks. As we continue to embrace new technologies, including mobile devices that integrate nearly all aspects of our operations, we are still investigating how those technologies can support us, reduce time or effort, or mitigate the risk of errors or mistakes. This refuelling feature is one of such a solution,” said Dariuš Olechnovič, Telematics Team Lead, Girteka Transport.

Digital Solutions Enhancing Flexibility and Comfort for Drivers

The adoption of these digital solutions is part of a broader trend in the logistics industry aimed at enhancing driver well-being. Platforms like Fleethand offer user-friendly interfaces that simplify complex tasks, from route management to daily communications, and now, fuel payments. Combining them with AI-powered solutions of Robotic Process Automation, can not only reduce time and costs but also bring additional value for both customers and drivers and transport managers.

“We are thrilled to see our technology being utilized in such a transformative way. Our partnership with Girteka demonstrates how digital solutions can be implemented to address real-world challenges faced by drivers, making their work more efficient and secure, not just a gimmick” said Tomas Sergadejevas, Founder and CEO at Fleethand.

A representative from Circle K, Nikita Butylkin, Senior Manager Outside Sales Batlics, added, “Collaborating on this digital refuelling initiative aligns with our commitment to providing seamless and secure services to all our customers, particularly those in the logistics sector.”
