Fuel pricing faces fierce competition on a daily basis, in addition to being susceptible to fluctuations in the foreign market and national policy. We are pioneers in using AI in fuel pricing to capture margin and volume opportunities.
The fuel resale and distribution chain is sensitive to daily variations in the dollar and oil barrel values. Accurate and rapid price updates make a significant difference in the profit margin of these companies.
When implemented, the Aprix software generates expressive results in a short time. Check out the case study of a gas station chain that is a client of Aprix below.
Agility in price adjustments
Whether in the spot market or the branded network, the entire pricing process is integrated, ensuring agility in price adjustments, protecting margin and volume.
Intelligent optimization
Aprix algorithms are based on statistical models that learn the elasticity of demand with market reaction and become increasingly assertive.
In a large company in the fuel sector, the following pain points were identified in the pricing process:
Operationalize daily price adjustments
The dynamism of the fuel market means that transfers have to be calculated and executed as quickly as possible.
Achieve volume targets while maintaining margin
Very often strategic objectives often compete with each other, as you want to gain both in profitability and volume.
Aggressive competition
It’s challenging to know when to follow or not follow a competitor with the risk of margin corrosion and price wars.
The application of the Aprix pricing system unifies the company’s databases, allowing automation of steps making the process more robust. With an improved and efficient flow, opportunities for price optimization with AI open up.
Aprix Approach: The pricing system optimized price positioning, finding the balance between margin and volume.

Taxation considered
When suggesting prices, Aprix’s technology takes into account the effects of taxes.
We have been in partnership with Aprix for almost 2 years. We started in a modest and unassuming format of automating pricing with an operational bias. As time passed and the product and partnership matured, we identified that it could not be restricted to just this type of improvement. We then moved to another level, identifying methods to optimize and qualify our pricing in the extremely volatile market in order to respond more assertively. with our customers and partners. We implement methods with AI technology and this makes all the difference in our daily lives. We are very satisfied with the results obtained and I am sure we will not stop here. We have a lot to improve in our partnership to better improve our service to our customers. Thank you for your partnership Aprix!

Total satisfaction with the service delivered by the platform. I want to record here that in 2020, at the beginning of the pandemic, I did not close my post due to the Aprix pricing system.
