The Opportunity
As geopolitical disruptions (Strait of Hormuz closures, Iran-US conflict) create volatile fuel prices, African taxi operators, transport fleets, and small manufacturers face unpredictable operating costs with no tools to forecast or hedge fuel exposure. They need affordable, localized fuel price intelligence and hedging strategies, but global commodity platforms don't serve sub-$50K annual fuel spend operators.

Why NowGST 18% on SaaS; no specific fuel trading license needed (advisory only); must comply with local data residency (Nigeria Data Protection Regulation, Ghana DPA); partnerships with fuel suppliers may require reseller agreements.
