This deep experience is baked into the MarginFuel product suite. Our technology infrastructure handles data at scale, making millions of forecasts and price recommendations daily across our customer network.

We are also extending into providers offering MaaS (mobility-as-a-service), providing predictive modelling, fleet flow optimisation and dynamic pricing capability.
