Dover Fueling Solutions and Bottomline Expand Global Partnership to Optimize Fuel Retail Supply Chains
Dover Fueling Solutions (DFS), a subsidiary of Dover Corporation (NYSE: DOV) and a leading global provider of advanced technologies, services, and solutions for the fuel and convenience retail sectors, has announced a significant expansion of its strategic partnership with Bottomline. The extended agreement aims to deliver Bottomline’s innovative BX platform to fuel retailers around the world, following its successful implementation across Europe since 2023.
Bottomline’s BX platform is an advanced supply chain optimization solution designed specifically for fuel logistics. It enables fuel retailers to streamline and enhance their operations from depot to tank. By integrating real-time monitoring, intelligent forecasting, and route optimization, the BX platform has already helped numerous European retailers reduce operational costs and improve overall efficiency. With the global expansion of the partnership, DFS and Bottomline are set to deliver these benefits to a broader range of fuel retail businesses worldwide.
The BX platform offers a comprehensive set of tools that allow users to effectively plan, monitor, and reconcile fuel deliveries. Its smart algorithms detect operational issues in real time, generate optimized delivery routes, and forecast inventory levels with high accuracy. These capabilities help retailers avoid unnecessary expenses, minimize losses, and maintain uninterrupted service.
When paired with DFS’s existing technologies—such as the ProGauge® Automatic Tank Gauge (ATG) consoles and probes or the DX Wetstock® platform—the BX platform becomes even more powerful. Together, these solutions provide a holistic end-to-end supply chain management system. This integration not only enhances visibility into inventory and fuel movements but also empowers retailers to take full control of their wetstock management processes.
According to Jeroen Van Pelt, Sales Director at Dover Fueling Solutions, the global rollout of the BX platform is a major step forward for the industry. “This partnership brings a cutting-edge supply chain optimization solution to customers on a global scale,” Van Pelt said. “With the ability to plan, control, and monitor the supply chain, retailers can reduce costs while ensuring operational efficiency from depot to tank.”
Léon van Rijswijk, CEO of Bottomline, expressed his enthusiasm for the expanded collaboration, stating, “With DFS’s strong global sales network, including regional sales teams and local distributors, we’re excited to expand the reach of BX and transform fuel logistics together.”
By leveraging DFS’s vast international presence and technical expertise along with Bottomline’s innovative supply chain technology, the extended partnership promises to redefine how fuel retailers manage their logistics and inventory operations. The collaboration is expected to drive efficiency, improve profitability, and enhance sustainability within the fuel retailing sector.
This move also reflects broader industry trends, where digital transformation and data-driven solutions are increasingly crucial for competitiveness. As fuel retailers worldwide face pressures to optimize operations, reduce emissions, and deliver consistent customer service, the combination of DFS’s hardware and software capabilities with Bottomline’s BX platform represents a timely and forward-thinking solution.
With the global fuel market continuing to evolve, partnerships like that of DFS and Bottomline are poised to play a key role in helping retailers adapt to new challenges and seize emerging opportunities. The expanded partnership marks a new chapter in fuel supply chain management—one that emphasizes smart technology, global connectivity, and operational excellence.
