Dialog launches 'Touch Corporate Fuel Card'

Dialog Enterprise, the corporate solutions arm of Dialog Axiata PLC is offering Sri Lankan corporates 'Touch Corporate Fuel Card', an option of a virtually paperless system for the management of their corporate fuel allowances and bills, which eliminates the chances of fraud and provides of timely information on fuel transactions to users.

The innovative technology was pioneered in Sri Lanka by Dialog Axiata PLC through a strategic partnership with Millennium Information Technologies (Pvt) Ltd and ATSL International (Pvt) Ltd.

Near Field Communication (NFC) is an emerging technology that makes life easier and more convenient for consumers around the world by making it simpler to carry out transactions, exchange digital content, and connect electronic devices.

The NFC Fuel Card empowered user simply needs to tap his or her NFC Fuel card at a POS (Point of Sale) terminal at selected LIOC retail outlets (Lanka Indian Oil Company) or at any Laugfs fuel stations and save the hassle of filling out, signing and handing over forms.

The user would be notified of the transaction immediately through an SMS (Short Message Service) confirming the transaction. Administrators at the company, the fuel supplier and users can log into the Dialog Touch Fuel Management System and monitor the data which would be available instantly while predetermined times and limits could also be fed into the system.

The automated system will reduce administration time. Already 100 corporate customers of Dialog Enterprise have obtained this service.

This service is available at over 100 laugfs and LIOC fuel stations islandwide.
