HECTRONIC PREsents the
hecfuel payment app
Hectronic has launched the HecFuel App - a
solution to authorise refuelling quickly and
flexibly. The mobile solution for fleet and ring
cards simplifies the filling process considerably.
The refuelling process is accelerated
in a user-friendly manner. The waiting times
at the petrol station are reduced and the
throughput is increased. Additionally, the
customer benefits from a customer-specific
look & feel of the app, a digital fuel receipt
and individual function enhancements. A
successful customer project has already
been realised. Since the end of November
2017, the BayWa fuel cards app has been
available for download from the App Store
and the Google Play Store. At around 100
filling stations throughout the entire BayWa
network, fuel card holders can use the app
as an authorisation device. At present, there
is no other company in Germany offering a
similar solution for the entire network.“Our
goal was to simplify the refuelling process.
Users should be able to start the tanking
process comfortably from their car with the
app and no longer with the tanking card at
the fuel terminal card reader. We have succeeded
in doing this”, said Sven Stottmeier,
DACH Sales Manager at Hectronic.Together
with BayWa AG, the UNITI Cards- und Automations
Forum in Hamburg was able to
present the already implemented Fuel Card
4.0 project, which was successfully implemented
in just 9 months. Before going live,
the app was thoroughly tested externally by
means of a PEN test and therefore complies
with the latest security requirements.
