Forecourt Management System (FMS)
The Forecourt Management System (FMS) by Fiducia is an advanced, data-driven platform designed to provide petrol station owners and executives with total operational clarity and real-time control.
At its heart is the CEO Strategic Dashboard, a high-level command center that aggregates complex data from your entire network into actionable insights. By utilizing a sophisticated hierarchical filter system, leadership can seamlessly drill down from a “Client” or “Company” level view to a specific “Site” in seconds.
The FMS does more than just display numbers; it actively protects your bottom line through automated competitor benchmarking, secure multi-tiered price approval workflows, and intelligent safety safeguards that prevent costly human errors, ensuring your business remains competitive and profitable in a volatile market.

Intelligent “Price Exceptional Alerts”
A specialized module that monitors the gap between your site and main competitors. If a competitor changes their price, a notification note appears at the top of the CEO dashboard. The system flags these anomalies by displaying the Site, Competitor Site, Date, Fuel Grade, Competitor Price, and Our Price, providing a direct “Action” button to review and push updates immediately.
Strategic Price Management & Approval Hierarchy
Governance and security protocols to protect margins and eliminate errors.
Strategic Multi-Tiered Price Governance
Secure your pricing integrity with a mandatory approval hierarchy. All price changes flow from Site Operators through TSMs and RMs to the Head of Operations, preventing unauthorized or unverified adjustments.
High-Security Pricing Safeguards
To eliminate “fat-finger” errors, the system triggers a Secondary Price Deviation Alert for any change exceeding ±5 pence. Users can choose to “Update with Confirmation” (prompting site staff) or “Update Forcefully” (syncing pole signs and tills simultaneously).
Live TLM Price Verification
For absolute certainty, the system fetches live data directly from the physical digital pole sign via API, providing an independent audit log to confirm that the price customers see matches the intended system update.
Automated Market Intelligence
Competitive insights and comparative site analysis to drive growth.
Automated Market Intelligence & Benchmarking
The Competitor Stats module serves as your command center for market awareness, pulling live, high-fidelity data from Gov.uk and Petrol Prices—complete with official branding and logos for instant visual recognition.
This module provides time-stamped audits for all fuel grades, including Diesel, Unleaded, Super, and specialty fuels, ensuring you are never the last to know about a market shift.
To ensure 100% data coverage, the system also integrates competitor prices manually submitted by on-site staff, clearly marked with the Fiducial logo to verify the data source and maintain internal accountability.
Combined with Intelligent Price Exceptional Alerts and Site Benchmarking tools, the platform allows management to rank performance across the estate and react to local price wars with surgical precision.
