iFuel launches innovative solution for low-cost petroleum distribution

May 31, 2004

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.--WireSpring Technologies, a developer of software and technology for interactive kiosks and digital signage systems, today announced that iFuel LLC has completed the deployment of the first iFuel-enabled fueling station at the Jubilee Supermarket in Evanston, Wyoming.

iFuel uses Web site and kiosk technology to create a fully-automated payment system, helping customers save money on gas purchases and providing 24/7 access to purchase histories and other account information online.

The iFuel system utilizes WireSpring's FireCast kiosk software along with industrial kiosk hardware from White Mountain Solutions.

"After a year of product development, we are thrilled to launch the first iFuel station," said iFuel co-founder Kristen Call. "With gas prices at record highs, we look forward to helping consumers and businesses save on every fuel purchase, while enabling them to keep track of their petroleum spending via our secure Web site."
 
iFuel helps customers save money on petroleum products by eliminating labor-related expenses and limiting credit card fees.

Consequently, iFuel customers pay less for fuel, saving as much as 10 cents per gallon or more.

Users who sign up for an iFuel Barrel Account can track fuel purchases any time, day or night, through iFuel's innovative Web portal.

Fuel-enabled stations are designed to work with the prepaid iFuel Barrel Account, although credit, debit and ATM cards are also accepted.
