Case Study: Fuelz aggregator web platform
A custom web platform that aggregates heating oil quotes from 10 UK suppliers in one place, complete with instant ordering and a dedicated admin module for pricing analytics.
Business challenge
The Client (UK-based company) turned to SumatoSoft to create an independent platform where both organizations and people would be able to find heating oil in various amounts at the best price and order delivery.
The major challenge for the SumatoSoft team was to build a comprehensive web platform with a price calculator and an administrative module with insightful analytics.
Our solution
With a strong emphasis on meeting the Client’s business objectives and needs, SumatoSoft built a custom solution that consists of:
- web platform for end users;
- administrative module with detailed analytics.
The solution is a platform aggregating prices from heating oil suppliers in the UK. The platform’s users are able to get a quote and see the heating oil prices from the websites of British suppliers of heating oil.
In addition, SumatoSoft team developed an administrative module where various statistical data are available for the platform’s administrators.
The core of the project
The core of the project was building an online aggregator with comparison of heating oil prices from local suppliers and an option to order heating oil delivery.
Before:
- UK households and businesses got heating oil quotes by contacting suppliers individually, with no way to compare prices side by side
- Buyers ordered from whichever supplier they had a relationship with, often paying above-market rates without knowing it
- Platform operators had no consolidated view of incoming orders, supplier coverage, or pricing trends
- Placing and tracking deliveries required phone or email coordination with each supplier separately
After:
- Buyers compare heating oil prices from 20+ UK suppliers in one place and select the best-value option before ordering
- Up to 20% lower delivery cost per order vs. single-supplier purchasing, enabled by transparent real-time price comparison
- Platform administrators view aggregated order data, supplier breakdowns, and key statistics in a built-in analytics module
- Buyers place and manage orders directly through the platform without phone or email coordination with individual suppliers
