- Mr. Rony Daou, Chief Financial Officer, Wookood Petroleum

Wookood Petroleum has a growing chain of gas stations and fuel delivery services in Lebanon. “Wookood” is the Arabic word for fuel, and as their name suggests, they strive to be the driving force behind each and every aspect of their customers’ active lives, delivering success and efficiency to their businesses and households while constantly enhancing safety measures and making sure they provide the best and finest quality fuel products.

Their story began in 1973, by their founder Mr. Samir Saade, and continues today with his son/successor and current Chairman Mr. Georges Saade. “Throughout a turbulent history of civil wars, we kept moving forward with vision and determination. Despite it’s challenging history and the devastating current financial crisis, powered with an enduring will, Lebanon struggles to keep up-to-date with fuel retail automation technologies,” added Wookood’s management.

With that same determination and brighter vision for the future, Wookood’s CFO Mr. Rony Daou decided to install ProGauge MagLink LX^® consoles, ProGauge^™ Magnetostrictive XMT Probes, and Fairbanks Station Manager 365^™ web portal in their TotalEnergies branded Beit Mery station, with plans to implement more solutions from Dover Fueling Solutions^® (DFS) within the rest of their network.

“We chose DFS because of their high reputation and excellent local after sales support. ProGauge’^™ automatic tank gauging (ATG) products and Fairbanks Station Manager 365 web portal helps us monitor our fuel stocks accurately and effectively, both on-site and from the cloud in one click", stated Mr. Daou.

Since DFS provides an effective wetstock management solution, which allows fuel retailers to track sales, fuel deliveries and losses to ensure accurate stock levels, this seemed like the ideal solution for Wookood Petroleum, considering their main challenge was to accurately identify fuel monitoring on their site. What’s more, with the Fairbanks Station Manager 365 web portal Wookood Petroleum was able to identify potential opportunities for fuel theft, leakage, or other discrepancies.

The combination of the MagLink LX consoles, Magnetostrictive XMT Probes, and Fairbanks Station Manager 365 web portal has definitely been good news for the market in Lebanon, and the Beit Mery gas station.
