BigBrother and SODA’s Seamless Integration Tackles Fuel Drive-Offs Across Europe
Fuel theft remains a daily challenge for fuel stations across Europe. Reporting a single drive-off typically requires up to an hour of administrative work—collecting images, transaction data, and vehicle information before sending it to a debt collection agency.
Through their collaboration BigBrother and SODA have transformed this process, reducing administrative time and submission errors.
From one hour to just one minute
Through a smart integration between BigBrother’s Watch-it for mobility security technology and SODA’s debt collection platform, operators can send complete drive-off cases directly to SODA with just a few clicks.
The system automatically gathers the necessary data from the forecourt, such as pump activity, timestamps, and license plate information. Staff no longer need to compile anything manually, meaning:
– Less administrative work
– Fewer errors
– A complete and reliable case submission every time
– Better control in a post-payment market
Whilst post-payment (paying for fuel after dispensing) provides an opportunity to drive instore traffic, there is a greater need for clear oversight and fast reporting. This integration gives operators the tools to stay in control of their forecourt while still benefiting from customer traffic inside the shop.
Because the process is fast and simple, fuel stations can report more incidents and report them more accurately. This directly improves the recovery rate, ensuring that more money is collected with far less effort.
Tackling drive offs across Europe
Thanks to BigBrother and SODA’s international partnerships, this integrated solution is operational in several European markets, including:
– The Netherlands
– Belgium
– Germany
– The United Kingdom
More countries will follow as deployment continues.
The collaboration brings together Watch-it for mobility’s advanced security solutions and SODA’s proven expertise in debt recovery. The result is a reliable, user-friendly system that helps operators save time, strengthen their operations, and recover more losses.
