PetroApp strengthens supply chain resilience by ensuring car services availability, traceability, and cost control across fleets. Our platform gives logistics operators real-time insights into services usage, helping prevent delays and optimize routes.
By reducing theft and operational waste, we enhance reliability and predictability in transport operations. This control empowers businesses in the Kingdom to build more efficient, data-driven logistics networks.

PetroApp aligns with Vision 2030 by driving digital transformation in fleet expenses management. Our platform replaces manual processes with automated, data-rich systems that enhance efficiency and transparency. We support the Kingdom’s goals by enabling smarter logistics, reducing fuel waste, and promoting accountability. Through innovation, PetroApp contributes to a more sustainable, tech-enabled economy in Saudi Arabia.
