Ever wondered how Santa manages the most complex global delivery operation? Wonder no more. We’re here to give you some insider info on how Saint Nic powers his sleigh and keeps his workshop working smoothly. To our loyal fuelGenie customers, it might not surprise you that he uses our services to help him along the way…
Sleighing the season
Santa’s sleigh has come a long way since the days of magic dust. To keep up with modern demands, he’s traded in his traditional reindeer-powered ride for a high-tech sleigh that runs on fuel. And to make sure he can deliver presents to every corner of the globe without a hitch, Mr Claus has signed up for a free fuelGenie fuel card.
Thanks to the extensive network of low-cost supermarket petrol stations, Santa can quickly top up his sleigh and stay on schedule. No pit stops at the North Pole needed. Plus if he gets lost in a snowstorm, he can check the fuel station finder to plan his next stop.
It’s the most wonderful workshop
Running the world’s largest gift-delivery operation isn’t easy but Santa has it down to a science. From his fleet of backup reindeer vans to drone delivery systems and festive trucks, he’s always on the go. That’s why Santa loves fuelGenie’s fuel expense tracking tools.
By using the online or app account management, he can easily monitor fuel costs across his entire fleet in real-time, ensuring that every penny of his holiday budget is accounted for. He can even limit what the elves splash their petty cash on to just oil and the “sleigh wash”. Now, instead of worrying about admin, Santa can focus on spreading festive cheer and ensuring every present makes it under the tree.
Ho-ho-helpful perks
After Christmas, efficiency is Santa’s next top priority. And the perks of the fuelGenie card were too good for him to resist. Here are a few of the benefits that had him fa-la-laughing all the way to applying for a fuelGenie card:
- Supermarket loyalty rewards: By refuelling at Tesco, Morrisons and Sainsbury’s, Father Christmas earns loyalty rewards that he can use to stock up on mince pies and carrots for the reindeer or a well-deserved hot cocoa at the end of his route. Every point adds up when you’re delivering to presents to kids across the globe.
- Unlimited cards: Santa has a lot of elves. How else could he manage such a complex operation? Luckily, with the free fuelGenie he can order a card for each and every one of them. He can add their name or their reindeer-registration to stop the Bah-Humbug brigade stealing the fuel cards to use for their own mischievous means.
- Seasonal support: Jolly old Saint Nic loves that fuelGenie also gives him access to a friendly UK-based customer service team. Of course, with a global operation he can speak every language. But secretly, English is his favourite. He can simply call them on his Merry-Mobile to ask any questions on 0345 371 2490.
‘Tis the season for taxes
Even Father Christmas has to balance his books during the busiest time of year. With all the gift-giving and merry-making, he needs to make sure his operations are as tax-compliant as they are magical. That’s where fuelGenie HMRC-approved invoices come in.
Santa can rest easy knowing that all his fuel purchases are digitally tracked and come with fully HMRC-compliant invoices for easy peasy VAT reclaim. That way, he can focus on spreading joy instead of panicking Mrs Claus about piles of paperwork.
Jingle all the way to savings
Even though he has magic on his side, Christmas still costs Santa an arm and a leg. But thanks to us, his fuel costs are as low as his chimney dives. By using the fuelGenie card, Santa is saving approximately 3p per litre on fuel compared to standard pump prices*.
That means he has access to some of the lowest-price fuel, giving him more room in the budget for stocking stuffers, workshop upgrades and extra sparkles for Rudolph’s nose. It’s the ultimate festive win-win: more savings for Santa, more joy for everyone on the nice list.
Season’s greetings
Still not convinced Santa is real? Or really uses our fuel cards?
Either way, everyone at fuelGenie wishes both business owners and drivers a safe and joyful festive season followed by a prosperous New Year. We value all our past and current customers as they help us on our mission to make life easier for companies on the move across the UK.
*The “Over 3 pence per litre” saving message is based on the difference between the published Government Weekly diesel fuel pump prices and the diesel pump price (inc. taxes) paid per litre for diesel by fuelGenie customers for the comparable period. During 2021 fuelGenie customers buying diesel at Tesco, Morrisons and Sainsbury’s saved an average of 3.11 pence per litre when compared to the Government Weekly road fuel prices.
