Puma Energy
Predictive stockout alerts and generative AI audit preparation
Puma Energy cut fuel stockouts by more than 20% and shortened audit preparation from two weeks to one hour
Problem
Puma Energy runs fuel stations in more than 20 countries, many in underserved communities. Its data sat in separate regions, and teams worked from offline exports. Safety and audit preparation took two weeks.
Approach
Puma Energy moved its data to the Databricks platform with shared governance across regions. On top of it, it built predictive alerts for fuel stockouts. It also used generative AI for audit and safety preparation, invoice and document processing, and a retrieval-based analysis of customer feedback.
Results
Takeaway
Puma Energy's stockout and audit-preparation results came on top of a data platform migration. The company did not say how much of each result came from the models and how much from the cleaner data.
