FleetPanda vs Spybits*
What's right for you?
Here is the summary:
Spybits, after 7 acquisitions, primarily focuses on hardware solutions like tank monitors and IoT systems, with limited development of their dispatch software capabilities.
FleetPanda, on the other hand, offers purpose-built dispatch software for fuel wholesalers, supporting multiple business lines (tank wagon, transport, propane, lubricants), implementing in 6-8 weeks, with biweekly updates and support that responds in under 10 minutes.

Spybits Implementation
Implementation went on for 2 years but failed because the product was buggy, support was unresponsive and the cost was high.
Everything would break, and we would spend so much time trying to get a response and get charged arm and leg. FleetPanda is decades ahead of Smartlogix.

Intelliduel Implementation
They needed to streamline their order-to-cash cycle and wanted real-time sync between delivery and backoffice. Implementation went on for 2 years and at the end there were still some missing features.
I would like to divorce us from being tied to one ERP system that doesn't want to support our growth
Intelliduel gets acquired
After acquisition, they were asked to go through expensive upgrades to be inthe PDE ecosystem. Plus Intelliduel couldn’t integrate with the back-office.
We're looking for ways to get away from their monopoly. I want to be an industry leader, not just get stuck in the rat race

What business lines does FleetPanda work for?
FleetPanda is a unified dispatch platform, which brings in operations data across multiple business lines into one platform. It is suitable for fuel marketers operating in
- wethosing / on-site fueling / tank wagon,
- bulk transport
- lubricants,
- propane/ heating oil,
- rental asset management
- common carriers / brokerage
Operations teams can finally get a single view of their entire operations so they can plan better, and make smarter decisions.
Does FleetPanda accommodate the brokerage/common carrier business line?
Yes, FleetPanda offers a dedicated brokerage module that connects customers, brokers, and distributors in the fuel delivery ecosystem.
The module allows brokers to broadcast delivery opportunities to trusted partners or discover new carriers in specific service areas. Brokers can post jobs across multiple geographies while maintaining control over information sharing—customer details remain protected while carriers see only necessary delivery parameters.
Key features include sign-up free bidding to attract more delivery partners, intuitive contract creation, real-time order tracking, secure in-app messaging, and seamless integration with FleetPanda's Dispatch Software. This comprehensive solution eliminates the traditional paperwork burden and coordination challenges, ensuring all parties stay updated throughout the delivery process.
We already have unique workflows and will require more customizations as we grow. Can you accommodate these changes?
We have biweekly feature releases so you can rest assured that the product is constantly getting better. We also know fuel marketers have long-standing workflows that work for them, so we address that in three ways:
- Our product is modular, flexible, and customizable. We also collaborate with design customers to build new features and modules.
- We constantly release updates, build new modules, and fix bugs.
- We focus on simplicity, ensuring the product is intuitive and easy to use for all employees, regardless of age or experience, making transitions smoother for veteran drivers and dispatchers.
Our drivers often work overtime due to inefficient routes, and routing consumes too much of our dispatch team's time. Can FleetPanda help with this?
FleetPanda offers AI-powered routing that optimizes fuel delivery operations across your fleet. Our system automatically generates efficient routes considering multiple factors including delivery time windows, loading points, and driver shift hours.
The results have been great: clients using our routing technology have reduced miles traveled by 29%, saved 47% in operational hours, and increased deliveries per route by 31%. The system factors inventory levels to build smarter routes and automatically determines optimal loading points, eliminating unnecessary detours and backtracking.
For larger operations, our advanced weekly planner forecasts delivery needs and resource requirements, ensuring you have the right number of drivers each day while maintaining on-time deliveries and reducing overtime costs.
