FOCOL’s top executive has hailed the company’s Smartpass app as “the first of its kind in The Bahamas” given that it will offer motorists the ability to purchase fuel at the pump using modern payments technology.

Dexter Adderley, the BISX-listed petroleum products supplier’s president and chief executive, said the app will allow consumers to purchase gasoline self-service at all Shell’s New Providence stations without having to pay via the cashier or handing cash to the pump attendant.

Quick to say the initiative is not designed to replace pump attendants, he added that it is designed to provide Bahamian motorists with greater payments convenience and flexibility.

“The FOCOL Smartpass, the first of its kind in The Bahamas, is more than just an app. It is another way to make your lives easier, your transactions faster and your experience with us more delightful,” Mr Adderley said, “and we recognise that technology, no matter how sophisticated, can never replace the human connection that forms the cornerstone of ourselves.”

Clinton Rolle, managing director of Sun Oil, a FOCOL subsidiary, said: “FOCOL’s Smartpass has been carefully designed with you in mind to deliver an unparalleled convenience that matches the rapid pace of our lives. But the benefits go far beyond convenience.

“We understand the value of security in today’s digital landscape. The FOCOL Smartpass uses cutting edge encryption and robust security protocols to protect your personal and financial information. Moreover, by tracking your fuel consumption, the app can help you manage your fuel budget more effectively. I am people, easy access, and they don’t have to enter the main Marsh Harbour,” Mr Albury added. thrilled to announce that as I stand here, FOCOL Smartpass is now accepted at all Shell service stations in New Providence.”

Open from 8am to 4pm, Monday through Friday, and by appointment on weekends, the store has a staff complement of seven Abaco residents. In addition to its fuel, maintenance, outboard and repair services, Bay Breeze provides a 24-hour securitymonitored facility along with concierge services.

The Smartpass App is available in the Google Play Store or Apple Store for download. Fabian Fernander, Sun Oil’s sales and marketing manager, said: “We add another milestone to our journey, reflecting our commitment to excellence, convenience and, above all, fuelling growth for people.

“Our FOCOL Smartpass app is not just a mobile app; it’s a revolution and fuelling convenience. It’s our latest step and integrating cutting edge technology into our services, all designed to make your experiences with us as efficient and delightful as possible.”
