Case Study: Comdata achieves faster fuel purchase decisions and improved customer satisfaction with IBM Cloudant and IBM Cloud

Improving fuel purchase decisions and customer satisfaction with a cutting-edge mobile application

Comdata wanted to help truck drivers make smarter fueling decisions by giving them real-time, location-aware guidance on the best fuel and rest stops along their routes. Working with IBM, the company needed a solution that could combine fleet telematics, GPS data, and fuel price information in a mobile app while meeting a fast delivery timeline.

IBM, together with IBM Business Partner PointSource, built the app using IBM MobileFirst, IBM Cloudant, and IBM Cloud. The beta app launched in just 12 weeks, improving time-to-market by months, scaling 75 percent faster, and reducing database management tasks by 80 percent, while helping drivers save time and money through better fuel purchase decisions.
