“We’re on a mission to transform not only the fuel industry by creating a better way to get fuel,” says Ashraf Ghadban, CEO of ReFuel Mobile, “more importantly we want to change consumer behaviour.”
Enhancing the mobile applications is a key area of focus for ReFuel Mobile, which will enable rapid growth in their touchless fuel delivery service.
Founded in 2017, the company services hundreds of B2B customers from car dealerships to fleets and delivery companies throughout Southwestern Ontario. In addition, ReFuel Mobile offers consumer a mobile app for ordering fuel for your car from the convenience of a smartphone.
“Over the past three years we have validated and refined the process to disrupt an industry that is prime for disruption. Rather than a consumer going to a gas station, their vehicle will let us know when they need fuel and our technology will auto-schedule their delivery,” says Ghadban. “There are great things happening at Refuel in the months ahead and we look forward to sharing the news with everyone.”
