Overview
Tirupati Travels & Goods Service Pvt. Ltd. operates from its Pune headquarters, running a fleet of 450+ buses and vehicles supported by 550+ drivers and conductors. The company serves 52+ corporate and institutional clients, transporting 10,000+ passengers daily, with a workforce of 50+ employees managing day-to-day operations. At this scale, coordinating duty assignments and fuel distribution across a large, distributed driver base required a level of visibility and control that manual, phone- and message-based processes could not reliably provide.
Problem statement
No centralised fuel visibility
No central record of fuel issued to vehicles or drivers, and no clarity on the quantities actually dispensed.
Approvals over WhatsApp
The admin messaged drivers on WhatsApp and separately instructed pump operators on how much fuel to dispense and where.
Recurring fuel theft
The informal process left no trail, so theft could go undetected and unrecorded.
Manual duty allocation
Duties were coordinated on phone calls and Excel sheets, with no system record of what was assigned.
Round-the-clock approvals
Fuel approval was time-critical, so an admin had to be personally available at any hour — including midnight.
No driver-identity check
Nothing in the system could confirm which driver was actually behind the wheel of a given vehicle.
The solution
In Phase 1, MobixFL deployed four integrated modules — Fuel Management, Duty Management, Compliance and Driver Audit — to bring structure, automation, accountability and driver-identity verification to Tirupati Travels' day-to-day fleet operations.
Solution capabilities
Fuel management
Fuel is pre-approved up to two weeks in advance and a specific pump assigned to each vehicle, changeable at any time. An absent driver's fuel QR code can be deactivated instantly, removing the dependency on real-time manual approvals.
Duty management
Duty allocation happens automatically from operational requirements, replacing phone-and-Excel coordination. Supervisors keep full visibility and can review or override any assignment.
Compliance
All vehicle tax and challan documentation is reachable in a single click, removing manual record-keeping and follow-up.
Driver audit
Every driver uploads a live selfie at the start of duty, matched against their profile — a mandatory step before any duty begins.
Business impact
100% fuel & duty clarity
Every duty assignment, including a live duty photo, is visible in real time — so management knows which driver is on which duty at any moment.
100% verified driver identity
Mandatory live-selfie audit before every duty gives real-time confirmation of exactly who is operating each vehicle.
Zero fuel theft
Every fuel slip is uploaded and approved in the system, closing the gap that previously let theft go unrecorded.
5,343 transactions processed
Fuel transactions handled since go-live, each with complete digital traceability.
2,78,847.40 litres issued
Fuel issued to the fleet with full clarity and no recorded theft.
Overall transformation
The Tirupati Travels implementation shows how a fleet operating on informal, message-based fuel coordination and manual duty planning can move to a fully digital, auditable process. By bringing fuel approvals, pump assignment, QR-based access control, automated duty allocation, one-click compliance documentation and mandatory driver-identity verification onto a single platform, MobixFL has removed the operational blind spots that previously allowed fuel theft — and closed the driver-identity gap that duty allocation alone could not.
